Raising Excellent Kids: Practical Parenting Tips with Steve C. Ward
Excellence means being the best you can be. Understanding how kids achieve excellence, your kids can live a life of excellence. It is not something they have to be born with and it is not reserved for a privileged few.
Ever wondered how to help your kids not just succeed, but truly excel? In this episode of 'The Next Right STEPS', host Steve C. Ward breaks down the essentials of proactive parenting. It's not about being born with a silver spoon or having natural talent. Excellence is something any child can achieve with the right guidance and habits. Steve shares three critical habits for parents: being a doer, a learner, and a planner.
Being a doer involves encouraging kids to get involved in activities they enjoy, without the pressure of being perfect at everything. It's about fostering a love for participation and effort. Being a learner means making learning fun and interactive, starting from an early age. Many kids thrive when learning feels like play, and Steve has tips on how to make that happen.
Being a planner is all about teaching the value of preparation and helping kids spend time on what truly matters. But it doesn't stop there. Steve emphasizes the importance of spiritual wisdom and emotional well-being in a child's balanced development. He argues that these elements are just as crucial as academic or athletic achievements. Personal excellence, according to Steve, is about helping kids become the best version of themselves, tapping into their god-given potential.
To wrap things up, Steve poses a thought-provoking challenge: pick an activity your child loves and join them in it regularly. It's a simple yet powerful way to bond and support their journey towards excellence. Tune in to this episode for a treasure trove of practical tips that can make a real difference in your child's life.
