although i am not yet a parent. I think it was a good video because when i do somday and for those who are its important that you look at the best ways to be a better parent
As a new father in today's world. this video helps me to raise my son in a positive and better setting. This video contains key elements to helping me and establish a good modeling system. My son is only 7months so as of now I will take this new knowledge and apply it to being a parent. but i have always thought that interacting with your children and being a positive reinforcement was elements that do help in rising a happy child., but now i got more insight.
When watching this video I reflected on today's society with all of the violence among youth and I can see now how some of it is being brought about. There are so many parents out in the world who are workaholics either by force or by choice, and it takes a lot from the entire active parenting skills if when your home all you want to do is relax and sleep. These are definitely great points and I will try to use them when I make the transition into parenthood.
I think I have been a good parent to my children. I have played with them, encouraged them to tryout for plays, football, etc. I think I have tried to expose them to many different interests. I agree with you 100% about modeling and consistency. I think consistency is very important in raising children.
I ideally hope to have my children become well rounded attributes to society. Yet I know this is not always so, I really appreciate this video. I tend to be the parent my oldest step-son goes to for every issue that bothers him. I seem to better understand how I as well as my husband can better parent and seem to better appreciate how being actively involved is absolutely necessary to raising happy children.
Something that Dr. Elligan mentioned got stuck in my head: the fact that parents have to be happy first; because the parent's emotional state will reflect in the child's. I think that very often parents think that they have to give up some of their happiness for the sake of their children and later on they end up resenting their children because of this. I have the feeling that very often commitment to children is mistaken with neglecting and pushing aside one's happiness.
kelvin: Listening to this video ive gained a bit of insight on possible reasons for why some kids have a hard time going thru adolescence, one being parents not following the rules to raising happy children. Positive reinforcement, connecting with a child on their level and getting dirty with them are all ways the child will grow to be happy, knowing that their parents are interested in what their doing.
I have learned some new things from watching this video and I would definitely encourage first time parents to watch this video. I believe one of the most important tips was being actively engaged in childrens life. Sometime i feel that parents, including mine, get so wrapped up in being strict, setting rules, and responsibilities that they forget to have fun with their children and that is what can further children away. Sometimes parents need to be a friend too.
I strongly agree with video...young children are like little sponges....they repeat actions and model those around them...how else would they learn...parents should be very careful about what they say and do around their children...I also agree with the fact of interacting with your child as well gives the child the opportunity to bond with the parent and vice versa
I think that parents need to watch Dr. Elligan's Youtube video on parenting and happy children. I think that parents need to promote self confidence in children. Children are vulnerable at a young age and need to be constantly reassured that they are behaving good and that they are doing their activity well. I also believe that positive reinforcement by encouraging children's interests is extremely important for children's growth.
I may not be a parent now, but raising a happy child is something i consider very important. It's good to know how children may respond to authentic and consistent modeling. Confidence is another factor i consider important, a happy kid is a confident kid.
This is very interesting. I think its very important for parents to learn how to talk and act in the presence of their children. Children are very smart at a certain at and they will pick up anything that interest them.
This is a very good video on parenting strategies. The things you've talked about in this video are very true. I've watched my close friends with their son or daughter and the behavior of the kids depends a lot on how the parents reactions are. The more attention and happiness you give the kid the better their behavior becomes.
nice tips in trying to show us young ones to learn to educate and learn to build a strong connection Prof. i liked how you explained how to always pay attention to ur child by reinforcing and encouraging them to peruse their own interest and reinforce those interest even tho they aren't rally our interest since it shows it can build a bond with ur son or daughter.
i REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IN TODAYS SOCIETY. NOADAYS PPL AREGROWING UP WITH THERE CHILDREN. THEY DONT KNO CERTAIN BOUNDARIES. PARENTS DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THE KIDS N MAKES TE KID ANGRY INSTAED OF HAPPY.IM POSTN THIS TO FB LORD KNOWS THEY NEED A LECTURE ON HOW TO RAISE HAPPY CHILDREN.
This is such a good video about parenting. With parents nowadays, the different family constellations, and the behavior of children, it's important to know where the roots of these children's behaviors come from. I think your point about modeling and observation is not only true, but also important for many parents to know about. Sometimes, you hear parents now wondering why their children act this way, but they never consider their actions in front of their kids. Good video.
I like the points you give to parents now and or first time parents. My favorite would be how you explain that children are very observant and how it is important to be the "best" so that a child may mock that good trait in their parent or parents. I also liked when you said to encourage a child because it will allow open doors in communication as a child grows through their preteen years. This video was VERY insightful. Nice!! Dr. Elligan =)
This video is very helpful in many different ways. It reviews how to raise happy children, the importance of them being happy, and the affect that it has on them. Because in the long run we are their 1st teachers/model that they look up to, and if more parents took these factors to heart maybe a lot of children wouldn't end up on the streets, making the world a better place.
Great video..i really dont see parents getting engaged with there kids as much as they should. They think they can just take them to the park and leave them there like you said in the sand box. Parents have to promote self confidence and try to teach the child at an early age that communication is everything. When a child ask you for something parents should try and cope with the child and be a responsive parent. Parents have a tendency to just hear a child talk and seem to zone out.
I like the direction you are going with this video about raising happy children. This approach to raising children applies to all types of families, low or high income. Unfortunately, many parents I see don't be as active when it comes to raising children. More and more children are becoming latchkey kids, in which the parents have little role in actively raising their child and when asked what their interest or goals are, they are lost. I hope future parents see this video and act on it.
I love this video! It's very powerful, in a down to earth type of way. I believe that parents dont always stand on the model of happiness and positive behavior because of life and the world we live in. I feel that parents can bring a good balance by having a plan on how they want to raise their child.
I agree...to raise happy children the parents must first be happy. The parents must be consistent at being happy and stay positive. You should be actively involved in their life, especially if you only have one child. These are very helpful strategies for me because one day, I too, will be a parent.
