1, don't be too strict with children.
As parents, of course, children can't be indulged, but too strict control may suppress their innocence and have a negative effect on their mental health. Let children have different choices at different ages. Only children who can enjoy the right to choose from an early age can feel real happiness and comfort.
2. Encourage children to make more friends.
Most unsociable children are depressed because they may suffer from loneliness from time to time and cannot enjoy the warmth of friendship. Encourage children to make more friends, especially friends of the same age. Children who are introverted and depressed are more suitable for making cheerful and optimistic friends.
3. Teach children to get along well with others.
People who get along well with others have a brighter and better inner world. Parents may wish to bring their children into contact with people of different ages, genders, personalities, occupations and social status, so that children can learn to get along with different types of people. Of course, children must first learn to live in harmony with their parents, siblings and relatives. In addition, parents should get along well with others, be warm and sincere, not snobbish and humble, and don't talk about others behind their backs at will to set a good example for their children.
4. Avoid the luxury of material life.
The luxury of material life will make children have insatiable psychology, and the pursuit of material is often difficult to obtain self-satisfaction, which is the fundamental reason why most greedy people are unhappy. On the contrary, children who live a simple life often have fun as long as they get a toy.
5. Let children have a wide range of interests.
If a child has only one hobby, it is difficult to maintain a long-term sense of happiness. Imagine: a child who only likes watching TV, once there is no suitable program at night, his heart will be unhappy. On the contrary, if children love reading, reading newspapers or playing games when they can't watch TV, they can also enjoy it.
6. Guide children to learn to get out of trouble.
Even people who are optimistic by nature cannot be satisfied with everything, nor can they be "happy forever". Parents should pay attention to cultivating their children's ability to cope with difficulties and adversity when they are very young. If children can't get out of trouble for a while, they can also be taught to be patient, or seek other spiritual sustenance when adversity comes, such as participating in sports, games, chatting and so on.
7. Have moderate self-confidence.
Having self-confidence is closely related to the formation of happy personality. For a child who is full of inferiority because of his limited intelligence or ability, parents must find that his advantages are carried forward and give him more praise and encouragement according to the situation. Positive affirmation from parents, relatives and friends will undoubtedly help children overcome inferiority and build self-confidence.
8. Create a happy family atmosphere
The family atmosphere and the relationship between family members will greatly affect the formation of children's personality. Research shows that children can feel the emotions and atmosphere around them before babbling, even though he can't express it in words at that time. It is conceivable that a hostile and even violent family can never cultivate cheerful and optimistic children.
