Behavior and Role Modeling for Children
The most important aspect of interacting with children is being a “friend and confidant” to them, as parents are the most influential individuals in shaping a child’s personality. Parents can guide their children’s talents toward a meaningful path and foster their growth through friendly and loving behavior.
A seminar titled “How to Behave and Role Model for Children” was held for the parents of students at Setaragan Zirak High School, conducted by Teacher Suraya Akbari. During the seminar, the following key points were discussed:
Children learn more from what they observe than from what they are told. Demonstrate positive behavior to instill the values you wish to teach.
Be mindful of the impact of your emotions and actions. For instance, maintain composure during tense situations to model self-control.
Use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior and gentle discipline to address inappropriate actions effectively
Communicate openly with your children and listen to their feelings. This builds trust and strengthens relationships.
Dedicate time to shared activities like playing, studying, or exercising. These activities help develop social and emotional skills.
Teach values such as honesty, respect, and cooperation through stories and real-life situations.
By applying these strategies, parents can create positive behavior patterns in their children that will support their growth and development in the future.
