Every parent wants their child to succeed in his/her life, so parents try to raise up a child by putting their children in the best school/colleges, take them to best vacations and give them the best luxurious to study nicely. So that one day their child can stand on its own and become a known name in any field of career they would be working. But apart from that, there are some teachings that you might or might not have thought to give to your kids as they grow towards teenage, these teaching to your kids make your child think smartly in their lives ahead and make them future ready as well.
1) Why time management is really necessary for them to succeed in life
The kids wake up go to the school, go for tutions, eat, socialize, study, play, sleep and repeat. With modern time the schedules are too hectic. So with this type of schedule it is really important for you as a parent to teach them to have time management for every task they do in the day.
Explain them the importance of time management and how with good time management they can plan to do all the things they have planned for the day properly. You can plan for their time table for weekends as well, when they can play more and study more for the whole day. Also this good habit of time management will also be helpful to them later in life.

4) How they should start to think about what they wanna become in life
Its never too early to think about what you wanna become in life. There are many entrepreneurs who have started their own business being as young as 16. This is not a single day process that you will tell your kids to think about what they wanna become in their life, this is a continuous process where you would also have to be a guide and mentor for your child to give them understanding and to make them know about the real world,so that they can start the process from early age to become a big successful personality of tomorrow.
5) Its time to care about our ‘Mother Earth’
The pollution levels are increasing, the amount of the carbon-dioxide is more than it ever was on our planet before.
6) Tell them the harsh reality of Addictive Drugs
Children often try new alcohol drinks, try their hand at smoking and the worst of all try drugs at a very young age in some scenarios to appear cooler in their friend circle, but before they take such steps you need to educate your kids about the good and the bad. You need to educate them that there are many drugs in market which are addictive and the consequences of those drugs is worse than we can even imagine. According to many research’s, the children now a day’s try lots of new stuff to appear cooler, so it’s only your teaching that can stop them from taking any drastic steps ahead in their future.
7) How can they handle all situations with positive attitude
Parents need to act like friends to their kids and they should not be like tough parents where kids can’t go to for talking about their problems. Life is big and problems would be many as life goes ahead, so you need to make your kid ready for the toughest times and that only can happen when you implant a positive attitude in them to lead a good humble life with positive attitude. A parent needs to explain kids that no matter what is the problem, there is always a solution. With positive attitude you ‘Always Can Do It’.
The best positive attitude books to read are ’The monk who sold his Ferrari’ or Happiness Everyday.

8) They are born for specific purpose to fulfill in this world
As the children get older(mostly during teenage time), you as a parent needs to slowly put inside your child’s mind that he is precious and has a specific purpose to fulfill, through his life years to come ahead. This will make him wonder to become someone big in life and he will push harder in years to come to become some good personality to fulfill his purpose, which as a parent will make you feel proud at time when he actually transforms into a good responsible adult.
9) How addiction to social media sites (Facebook/ Twitter/ Whatsapp) is taking away their(kids) productive time
According to so many survey’s around the world, one common complain most of the parents have is that their children spend long hours on the social networking sites. Parents need to softly make them realize that spending lots of time is taking away their productive time, instead parents can shift their focus from social networking sites by taking them on holidays, by actively getting involved in the activities he/she does at school and also in a friendly way parents needs to tell the kids that they are not allowed to stay online for not more than half an hour around or else you can decide the time limit.
10) Teaching kids about saving money right from the early age.
By now you would be in your late 30’s or 40’s, so you truly understand the importance of saving money, but it is very important for you to educate your kid about saving money right from the childhood, so as adult’s they will never run out of money.
We would suggest one Simple friendly way to teach your kids about ‘Saving Money’:
Consider that your kid wants you to buy him/her a new bicycle or some game or doll or some other thing. So as a parent you can tell them that he gets some pocket money daily, so if he saves everyday from his pocket money he can buy that thing that he/she wants in next 5-6 months from his own saving. Moreover you can tell them that if their savings are not that more enough to buy that thing, then you will pitch in some money.
This way your kid slowly will realize the importance of money and what money can buy, so their spending habits will change for the better and this lesson that they would learn from you will be helpful to your kids for the rest of their live’s.
Interesting, Informative and unique perspective. Thanks.
