Enlightenment through an ideal example :
Alongwith a form of story-telling you can try this also. You can inspire your child by narrating a praise-worthy act of a child from your known circle or extol the virtues of such a child. We will call this method as enlightening through example.
Here parents gain the twin advantages of the peculiarity of a child's psychology :
1. A child is extremely enthusiastic to emulate another of his own age.
2. A child is very eager to accept that which is presented as eulogizing pride, valour, ideal or praise-worthy.
Today's media takes complete advantage of this child psychology to help their clients off-load their products. Hence we can use the effectiveness of this strategy as a perfect solution for nurturing a child's character.
Through the mode of story-telling or enlightening through an idyllic example, you can serve a valuable thought or help him develop the ability to discriminate between the right and wrong offered to him. The emulation of that example decides the direction for the child. This way you should seize the opportunity to program the bright future of your child.
You may have to spend just 15-20 mins everyday using the above strategies. Here more than time, continuity is more important. Those parents who spend twenty minutes with their kids daily probably will not have to spend sleepless nights in the later years.
