When I'm on the phone and I know they are secretly listening I talk about how great they are and how they blew me away - how great they help around the house how proud I am of them.

zozishine Such a great technique especially seeing how my daughter ear hustles on a regular basis. Children love to hear you speak well of them in front of others.

Lol.. that is funny! You could really play it up how well they did something and harp on about how great they are! It would be interesting to secretly video their little faces while they were listening to it to see how they react to that talk!

To help my children I modle the behavior I want to see in them. I stay away from put downs and negative frases. I focus on positive. "ok the food is on the floor what should we do?" "I see that your mad, why?" how does that make you feel?" what if it was done to you, how would it make you feel?". I try to guide them to the answer so they have the joy of discovery. if it's a bigger problem like hitting or lieing I try to discover why they felt the need to lie by asking them about it. then ask them for a more positive way to get what they want...manners.

I am new to teaching, and I am starting to teach kindergarten but I am just 23 years, what I'd like to do is to build an image of prosperity in their minds, and build brain cells by showing them images of greatness, role models and tell them that they can be better than I am
My children have schedules on the wall that they follow. 7am Breakfast and Praise, 7:45 bathe and brush teeth, 8:00 get dresses for school etc. It has pictures which they helped pick out or draw and color and its always on the wall at their eye level. This has been huge for them! I started my daughter on hers at age4 and now my son has had his since after he turned 4. They like following their schedule, learning how to manage time, read words (its in both English and French) etc. There are morning, afternoon and evening schedules. They get to the point where they know the schedule by heart but we still keep them up and refer to them. For weekends and other non school days, I make it my business to explain to them what plans we have in advance so they are aware BUT sometimes things change and I'm clear about the importance of being willing and able to adapt to changes.

Rashida Davis, Really Nourish Schedules definitely help to establish structure, but more importantly is that you involved your children in the creation of a system that they're apart of. Kudos to you! My children love feeling like they are part of the process and they own it when they are.

But don't show this message to your children and specially to your father.... Parents always love their children but styles may b different...
Great! I have been listening to you since my daughter was 4. she loves listening to you. I have applied what I learned from you. It's amazing how confident she is about her and she has big goals. thank you for these wonderful teachings. you are an inspiration to my family.
I think parents need to change how they grew up to be able to raise confident children.... I feel like I raise my children exactly the way my parents raised me and I hate it... I wish I can change that... I want to change it... But I don’t know if I will be able to 😔 Being a single parent is so hard and wanting confident, healthy, happy children is even harder. Every time I try to change and raise them different I fail and go back to the way I was raised. Ugh frustrating. I will try again From now on with your great tips and see how it goes. Hope I don’t fail again. Wish me luck
Thank you, Brian! I encourage my children by commenting how I admire a concrete accomplishment they made, trying not to exaggerate. I also let them decide little things like which haircut they want, which piece of clothing, etc (they're young)
Thank you Mr. Tracy for such great advise. What i have seen in my child is that he really enjoys painting and sketching. We have gifted him art supplies and he gets to make his own decisions on what he wants to creat or express. I’ve found art to be an incredible way to express himself especially when he is young and life experiences are still so raw and new to him. I also get to join him often and it is a beautiful and peaceful moment to have with the most incredible people in our lives.
Thank you Brian. I enjoyed your video. My son is now 27, however when he was small I tried to encourage him all the time I tried to praise him and taught him that I believed that he would do well in life ( no matter his race this is important) I always tried to support him. As an only child he was on the computer alot, I tried to discourage this. He didn't like the rules but he did like to make his own decisions. He is now working as a sales manager of a software company. He loves his job. I am now helping out at a saturday school which I too enjoy.
Happy to hear this. I will take it to heart. We need to shine more positivity into our children's lives. Sometimes listening to parents sounds more like war stories - managing the foe! I trust your kids also had a wonderful mother.
Thank you so much Brian! Those tips are such a helpful and practical tips. You're amazing!
thank you mr Brian I think supporting them plays main role in bonding with them and some times parents laugh on thier children when they are upset its also not the good way of approaching the problem
I am not always saying the right thing to my 8yr old son, but it's so funny, when I say he's a smart boy and I get an "I know, dad" :)

This is information that ALL parents or future parents need..... People need to learn to be PARENTS and stop being friends to their children.... By bringing a life into this world it is YOUR job to start their teaching and upbringing the correct way OR they will end up paying for it for the rest of their lives.
I totally agree.Thank you ☺
Thank you very much Brian. I love listening to your different talks.You are always right to the point. You are one of my teachers.
I don't have children now but I think that it's so important that we understand the decisions we make when raising them. Thanks Brian for the wonderful video! (:
Excellent. Loveliest advise for the parents, teacher and elders.
thank you sir! I will follow those tips
Mr. Tracy I only came across your videos today and have listened to about 4 now. Your talks are truly amazing and your soft spoken demeanor is so encouraging and uplifting.

When I was a child, my was always remain busy with his work, it was my grandfather who nurtured us, but I want to spend good time with my child, I will implement your suggestions. Thank you for invaluable suggestions.
A great book I read on parenting is Bringing Up Bebe by Pamela Druckerman. Amazing! I think giving your kids independence is so important. It makes me cringe watching parents run after their children repeating "don't do this, don't do that, be careful!". Let the kids play on their own and let them make mistakes and get a scratch! That's how they learn!

Child may not be assertive for many reasons. 1- his views my have been ignored or discounted, 2- he was taught to believe that his input is not important. Reverse this and you will see the change. Start with asking the child questions of importance "Bobby where do you think we should go out to eat tonight as a family? Or "what do you think we should watch for movie night?" Put him in position of leadership incrementally at home.
thanks sir I don't do anything special right now but from today I will follow your advice to raise my 9yr and4yr kids.thanks again
Thank you
I tell my kiddos to always tell me the truth. I let them know that they are not in trouble and telling me the truth makes it easier to believe them in the future if anything happens!
Thank you Brian, this should come handy. I have tried to handle my boy child with discipline but it is certainly not working out,I elicit the exact opposite of what I set out to achieve, I will surely do things differently with this video and would appreciate any further assistance in this regard.
Thank you very much sir.

Not sure I agree with number 3. Constant positive feedback is not how the world works, and though the family should be a safe space at all times, some resilience should be allowed to be built up in said safe environment prior to being exposed to the "realness" of the outside world. Only positive affirmation without negative feedback might create children that aren't resentful to their parents: but sure enough, they will end up resenting the rest of the world for not wanting to bathe in the bliss of their ignorance. Also, in point number one you mention "rules" having to be laid out. The upholding of certain kinds of rules requires enforcement by means of repercussions, which in itself, cannot be positive nor pleasant in nature in order for the consequences of actions to be considered in the future, which is the whole point of education (and domestication general); in its positive as well as negative aspects.
my parents gave me negative criticism when i was young ...that absolutely affect children deeply !!! thanks for this video, Brain :)
Thanks for your tips. Really useful 😊👍

Hi Brian... excellent as always! I along with my fiancee are now raising her 5 year old grandson.. His parent have issues drugs and the like, employment etc. we had to take custody to provide for him a safe and emotionally stable environment. 4 years of his life was with his parents ... basically as vagabonds... the street life. So we have a lot of work to do and your suggestions from your programs has been a God-send. Reminding us that positive communications, rituals and structure make a real difference. Again...its work and sometimes a challenge because of the ways he was living his life... but we will win together. Thanks so much for all you've done for me in my life... Mike Husson, Fl

I will admit I was brought up by my parents and grandparents which I ended up with conflicting messages and upbringing, which I also spent years going through speech / physical therapy plus both of my parents (when we moved away from the grandparents) turned into workaholics although I was bought up to put the needs of others first even though it did dampen my childhood... It is HIGHLY important to show and tell your children you love them, encourage them, and show them by example how to live a good and healthy life.... It took me going on a family vacation as a youth driving out East to find out that my dad has a temper and is / was racist and after hearing that I vowed to be NOTHING like my father. Just because my parents had friends who 'tried" an MLM and they also tried their own business they had told me that I was not able to do it (this was in 2005 and I am still working on getting rid of that message in my mind).

My middle son isn't very confident in school and he's somewhat a perfectionist. He's very consciousness and cautious . He doesn't like to disappoint. My other two are extremely confident and outgoing. Right now, it's a struggle to get him to write independently. He only wants to write if his teacher is right there helping him every step of the way. Any advice? I want to help him, but I'm unsure how.

Wise talk! My son is 7 years old, I’m a guilty parent who constantly yells at him for the smallest thing. Also I always tell him how great he is and that I love him no matter what, Reminding him that mistakes happened and that the yelling is about the mistake not the person . He has low self esteem , I praise him all the time but he constantly thinks I can do it, or I know I won’t be able to or I’m this or that. And it makes me feel so bad cuz I feel like I’m the cause due to too much yelling.
@jamesduff6937

Racha, my parenting style is not to yell alot, but more to educate. I find it a better investment to spend 10 minutes properly explaining to a kid how they went wrong so it makes sense to them. Explain it to them slowly. Imagine yourself at a new workplace where it's your first day on the job and you are making mistake after mistake. You wouldn't learn and grow if everyone was simply yelling at you. It would be far better of them to explain why a task is done a certain way so you can learn and grow.
I am very impressed by the video. We always try to encourage our son for new learning, but sometime criticize, which wont do any more. Thanks for this information.

Piyush Katariya I think every parent should meditate multiple times a day. even if it's only 5 or 10 minutes, and during this meditation think about your children what they're doing how you feel about it and how you can make them feel better about themselves with the things that they're doing or interest they have. if your child is doing something you're not sure about or don't know how to react. then don't say anything negative and take a few moments alone to think about the best way to communicate to your child positively.
