As we raise our child, all we want - as parents - is to give him the world on a silver platter, and, if possible, to protect him in a warm cocoon until he becomes an adult.
The world, society and the environment do not let us act like this. However, imagine that we had the ability of recognizing our child's behavioral pattern in advance and could direct him or her, if necessary, onto a different path. Within the framework of my university studies I was exposed to research that amazed me.
Although it is not original, it certainly is profound. The research subjects were second graders, including both strong and poor pupils.
The "strong" children eventually became teachers, lawyers and physicians, while the "poor" became production workers or non-professionals. In the middle of the year, the homeroom teacher was replaced and while getting to know the students, the new teacher received reverse information regarding their parents’ professions, so that the good pupils turned into children whose parents had no education and who worked as production workers, but the bad ones turned into children with educated parents who worked in white collar professions.
Lo and behold, by the end of the year the weaker pupils had become the best in the class, while the good ones had begun to fail in most of their subjects. The conclusion of the research was that the idea of “a self-fulfilling prophesy” is indeed true and can influence our lives in ways that we sometimes can’t imagine. Take two adolescents – one with a wide face that indicating high self-confidence, while the other has a narrow face indicating low self-confidence.
If we look at our children and see that their face is narrow and that there is the possibility that they may one day lack in confidence as adults, we can reinforce their self-confidence in time by giving them countless rewards in order to help them develop their self-confidence as children. In other words, our children shall avoid the feeling of lack of confidence that could otherwise accompany them throughout their future life.
