Skills You Should Be Teaching Your Child At An Early Age

Children start learning from the moment they’re born, and even at an early age, they’re learning complicated lessons about life. Of course, it’s not going to be anything irrelevant to what they should know, but be aware they’re observing and learning all of the time. Everything they experience is new to them, and it’s going to set the stage for what they perceive as normal. You have to be ready as a parent to be their role model and someone that they should aspire to be similar to as they grow up. 

How to learn from failure

Failing is something that children can find overwhelming, as their efforts are going to go unrewarded, which isn’t always common for a child. Teaching them that failure is actually a good thing, and provides an opportunity to learn and grow is highly important. Naturally, they’re not going to be so accepting of this, but encouraging them not to give up after a failure is a very valuable lesson. If you don’t teach them how to fail, then as they grow up they’re going to struggle to keep the ball rolling over the smallest of mishaps.

Being curious

Curiosity is something that many children naturally develop. There’s so much to learn, so asking a lot of questions is to be expected. You might find the constant bombardment of questions to be frustrating at the peak of your stress, but it’s important that you never discourage them from their curiosity. Being curious about various subjects is what drives them to learn, and if they learn to not be curious, it could hinder their learning ability later in life. You should consider early education to make sure they can develop their will to learn even further.

Money responsibility

It’s hard to teach a child to be responsible with money, as there’s nothing really important that they can spend their money on at that age, but the lesson comes from how they see their money. They don’t have to divide it up or save it for anything, but showing them that money only comes in a limited supply is going to help them make better and more thoughtful decisions with it. Children at a young age won’t understand the importance of money, or how much is a lot of money, so show them what it’s like to be responsible with money. 

Pursuing passion

Every child has some form of interest that they would like to pursue, but finding that interest can be hard. If your child is yet to find something that they like doing, you should be actively looking for activities that interest them. Not only are you investing in their future, but these could be great opportunities to bond with them over something. Have them give art a try, for example. This can be a great time to express their creative side, and doing it with them will help them to stay interested in the activity at hand.

SATURDAYS ARE FOR STELLA ❤️

Oh, hello there 👋 in case you’re new to my feed, this is Stella. She is an almost 3 year old goldendoodle from Stella, NC. No, we didn’t name her Stella because of the city she was born in. That was a complete coincidence!

She goes by many names - Stella, Stelladoodle, Stu Diddy, Stu, and Moose. Don’t ask 😂 (and whether she responds to any of those names is completely up to her.)

She’s finally graduating the puppy stages (I hope), but it is known that if you’re over and
👟you leave your shoes unattended
👜bag open
🧦socks on the floor
🧻towels in reaching distance to her counter surfing
🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️you’ll be running circles around the house after her. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉
#tbt A super fun night supporting the @juniorleag #tbt  A super fun night supporting the @juniorleagueofbocaraton with my partner-in-crime @localmomscoop @fourmakers and @theaddison executive chef, Patrick Duffy. 

Today we celebrated the life of Heather McMechan, someone I am eternally grateful came into my life, and devastated has left this earth. The church was filled with people that loved her - not one person that crossed her path couldn’t NOT love her. 

Forever in my heart ❤️
