A child’s stress level can rise to severe stress when he experienced a variety of family conflict such as divorce, experiencing and witnessing violence, financial crisis, the death of a loved one, or face parents who have health problems, addiction, or mental disorders.

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress children, but some children were found to have excessive levels of anxiety when faced with stress. According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, such children are considered to have or have had phases of post-traumatic stress. Many children had experienced early stress before they are ready physically and psychologically to cope. This will make them be more susceptible to high levels of stress as they grow into adulthood.

As a teenager, children who have experienced stress as a child will tend to isolate themselves, overeating, difficulty sleeping, until the drugs involved. To avoid this, help from parents, teachers, or other family members, is required so as not to let the children are under pressure. Here are some ways you can do to protect children from dangerous prolonged stress as adults.

Children's Intelligence

Children’s Intelligence is Not The Primary. Children are often assumed to be great by parents as a smart kid and has a high academic value. No wonder the parents and then stuffing their children with extra lessons in the hope they could be smart and get the child in the class rankings. For children who have entered the school, parents have the perception that their child was great when it’s rank. To achieve this, children who have school from morning till evening still have to follow a variety of additional classes, and this would make the parents and children alike stress. And this all depends on the support parents in children.

 

The emphasis of the greatness of a child assessment should not only be seen on the results as a champion but rather the effort made to achieve the best. In other words, the important thing is not a champion or a winner, but how to improve the soul winner’s parents in children, because this is key for children to gain success.

Intelligence is not the most important thing to determine a person’s success. Research conducted on 733 people millionaires in America shows, there are 30 factors that influence success.

Based on these considerations, it seems you do not need to be too concerned if your child does not have a high rank in his class. However, as much as possible to give attention to the child without having to sacrifice time to play for a variety of additional tutoring excessive. Give also an appreciation for every child in the small progress that he did, so he is more motivated to try harder and maximum.

Introducing Money To Children

05 Oct 2011 by

Introducing Money To Children. Often you do a variety of errors when teaching children about money. If this is not also your awareness, the child would not be getting the message you want to convey. Here are some common mistakes made when parents introducing a child about the value of money:

1. Giving the wrong example. Perhaps the most unconscious of this error when doing it. You teach your child to save money and not spending money to buy unnecessary items.

2. Difficult to distinguish the needs and desires. Nothing wrong if you buy something that is desperately needed. However, this is different from the things that we want. When a parent is difficult to distinguish where the needs and desires, then the child would not be able to distinguish between them.

3. Always save the child from the mistakes. When learning to manage money, the children must often make mistakes. For example, when given pocket money for a week, usually they are difficult to manage it so that not until a week the money has run out. Quite often you feel sorry for the kids, because they can not buy a snack anymore because the money was gone. Pity this makes you tend to save him from mistakes, so that children do not learn from his mistakes. Instead, let the child feel hard it can not snack because there was no money he had.

4. Appreciate everything with money. Do not ever give him money in return for everything that had to be done, such as homework. Do not give him the wages of a sum of money when he managed to get good grades in class, or after to help you do your homework. If you do, you will fail to provide the right motivation to work hard and learn a maximum at the school. In addition, the child receives is not the satisfaction that comes with doing their best to achieve the goal, but to get that much money from you.

5. Using money as a substitute for time and attention. Working all day to meet all household needs is commonly performed by men and career women. However, this causes an imbalance in domestic life. For those of you who are busy, often children do not receive sufficient attention. To overcome this, usually you will give some money and let them choose all the things they want so they are happy and not whine call your attention.
