Your Child’s
Individuality
When children are treated
with respect as individuals, im
portant character strengths are
likely to emerge.
Jane Bluestein, author of sev
eral parenting books, offers the
following suggestions.
1. Don’t compare your child to
anyone else.
2. Accept that your child may
like many things that you don’t,
and that he or she may hate
things that you really value.'
3. Make a list of your child’s
talents, preferences, and best at
tributes. Add to the list whenever
possible.
4. Difficult as it may be, drop
your agenda for who (or what)
you want your child to be (or be
come). Accept your child for who
he or she is and was meant to be.
5. Encourage your child’s at
tempts to explore his or her iden
tity.
6. Although easier said than
done, quit worrying about what
relatives, friends or neighbors are
saying.
7. Let your child express his or
her individuality through various
means. This may include letting
your child choose his or her own
clothes, room layout, hairstyle, or
extracurricular activities.
8. Support and encourage your
child’s individual interests. Re
spect the fact that he or she may
lose interest or change his or her
mind over time.
9. Remember that today’s
identity may soon be yesterday’s
experiment.
