Parenting → BUILDING A POSITIVE MIND SET
Some personal factors that influence your child’s level of aspiration and ambitions are his wishes, his interests, values, personality type, experience, socio-economic status and in some countries racial/religious discriminations. If you want your child to be ambitious, to have high aspirations and be an academic achiever, you can actually help him by discussing different options and possibilities over a period of time, in a relaxed manner. Parents should avoid heated exchanges or loud arguments in the presence of a child. Such behavior confuses the child and makes him feel insecure. Your appreciations in different stages will strengthen her belief in him. Like a child good at math can be encouraged to participate in Math Olympiad. The family needs to place a high value on independence, mastery, competence and achievement of the child.
