PARENTS, BE AWARE OF YOUR LANGUAGE
You might not realize it, but your children are soaking up your beliefs like a sponge. Every time you say something, they’re taking mental note of what you believe and how you feel about things. This is why it’s so important to be careful about what you say in front of your kids! You don’t want to accidentally instill any negative belief systems in them.
SO, WHERE DO YOUR CHILD’S BELIEFS COME FROM? LET’S TAKE A LOOK.
1. Parents
It’s no secret that parents have a huge impact on their children’s lives. After all, parents are the first people that children interact with on a regular basis. As such, it should come as no surprise that parents play a major role in shaping their children’s beliefs. For better or for worse, whatever parents believe, their children are likely to believe as well.
2. Siblings
Siblings also play a big role in shaping a child’s belief system. If an older brother or sister is constantly getting into trouble, the younger child may start to believe that this sort of behavior is normal and acceptable. Alternatively, if an older sibling is doing well in school and getting good grades, the younger child may start to believe that academic success is important and something to strive for.
3. Peers
Peers also have a significant influence on children’s beliefs. Once children start going to school and interacting with other kids on a regular basis, they’re going to start picking up on the beliefs of their peer group. If all of the kids in a child’s class believe that boys are better than girls, or vice versa, the child is likely to start believing this as well regardless of what his or her parents believe.
4. The Media, kids youtube, digital
Finally, the media also plays a role in shaping children’s beliefs. Children are bombarded with messages from television, movies, advertising, and the internet on a daily basis. While some of these messages may be positive, many of them are negative and can cause children to develop unhealthy beliefs about themselves and the world around them.
