Too often, parents and other adults provide children with neither the encouragement, the support, nor the self-confidence they need to try again. Sadly, some children are allowed to think that one attempt or a series of halfhearted attempts is sufficient. Such thinking can lead to failure, feelings of pessimism, and a diminished sense of self-worth. Help children succeed and be successful. As the saying goes, nothing succeeds like success.
Positivism is built on success and achievement.
This means that parents and teachers have to help children develop skills that lead to success. For example, children need to learn and master the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic which enable them to confidently and competently complete school work. Being successful in school leads to success in life and a positive attitude. Help children think positively about life and life events. We can help children learn that the glass is half full rather than half empty and that there is always another time and another tomorrow, and generally, another chance.
