10 things parents must teach their children before they turn 10

Educating children is a long and arduous task, and there are things that must be taught at every age. So, what are the things that children must be taught before they are 10 years old?

1. “It is not your responsibility to make your loved ones happy”

Happiness is something you have to fight for with your own strength, not something given by others. There is no need to force yourself to do things just to make your parents and siblings happy.

2. “Go out and have fun”

Nowadays, many children often stay at home playing video games, which is very harmful to their physical and mental health. For the health of children, let them play outdoors and use all their strength.

3. “Take pride in the things you love”

The preferences in childhood will determine to some extent the development direction and achievements in adulthood, so even if boys like to play with dolls and girls like to play with cars, don't correct them.

4. “You don’t need your parents’ approval all the time.”

It is not a bad thing to disagree with parents and friends. It is important for children to have their own independent opinions and be able to express them freely.

5. “You are beautiful”

Children who are often praised by their parents for being smart and beautiful are happy. Even if children are bullied outside, if parents can give positive praise in time, they will heal their pain and regain their confidence.

6. “Reading more is crucial”

Learning the habit of reading from an early age is beneficial to growth. I read this book when I was sad, and I read this book when I was happy. The protagonist in the book is another me, and I learned a lot of experience and knowledge from it.

7. “You are you, no need to follow blindly”

Parents always think that their children should be this or that, but this is actually controlling their children, depriving them of their autonomy and hurting their self-esteem. Parents must first respect their children's wishes.

8. “The problem is that someone hurt you”

In school and in the workplace when you grow up, you will always encounter bullying or unfairness. This is unavoidable. If a child encounters such a thing outside, he should be enlightened by the fact that "it is not your fault, but the fault of the person who hurt you. There is something wrong with their heart that makes them hurt others."

9. “No one can be everything to you”

No matter how much they love each other or how much they like each other, as long as they are human beings, they cannot break through a "limit" and it is impossible for them to become "everything to someone." When you are lonely and hurt, you must learn to accept yourself as you are and stand up with your own strength.

10. “Mom and Dad are trying their best”

Parents also fail sometimes, and there are times when they beat and scold their children. Even if being a parent sometimes fails, you must let your child feel that your parents are doing their best for him and the family.
