INTEGRITY OF CHARACTER + CREATIVE THINKING = SUSTAINED SUCCESS IN LIFE.

7 Sureshot Ways to Kill Your Childs' Creative Thinking.

1. Tell your child often- ' Why do you want to be different?Why can't you be like Mr XYZ's son/daughter?

2. When your child faces a problem, instantly give a solution to her with the words-"Sweetheart there is only on way out of this problem and that I can tell you and here it is.................

3.When your child talks of something you have not heard Mr XYZ's son's talking, or in the magazines or in the newspapers then please arch your eyebrows to the highest point and do not utter a word or try another method: that is frown(as many creases as possible) and ask matter of factly"How could you think of such a thing? I have not heard of it before.

4.If your child talks of something you have a faint idea then do not apply step 3. in such a scenario simply ask-Has anyone of your friends done this before..... No.... then why do you want to do this darling when it has not been done before?

5.When your child is thoughtful, then do not encourage him to talk for it may complicate matters but gently motivate the child to stop wasting time on thinking and remind him to finish off the task quickly and done away with.

6.Keep on giving gentle reminders to your child- "Darling, do whatever you want to but do not make mistakes-they are so messy."

7. Lastly let me share something which should be used sparingly but is very potent-"I have told you once it can't be done, and that's FINAL and I don't see any logic in telling you why I feel it can't be done.."

Believe me all these seven strategies alone or in combination are damn powerful.
