In order for children to have good productivity, we as parents need to be skilled at creating positive parenting. Reporting from Very Well Family, there are several tips for educating children that can be done so that your little one is productive from day to day. Come on, check it out!

Children are usually stimulated to imitate a habit they see. So if you want your little one to grow up productive, parents need to provide guidance on how they should behave.
Beauties can make productive activities such as waking up early, making a variety of healthy food menus, and exploring new hobbies at home so that their children can follow them.
Parents should not complain or nag when carrying out this routine so that children can enjoy and be interested in doing the activity again later.
2. Let Kids Get Involved in Homework

Asking children to do homework is part of the learning process about basic life skills, you know! Some homework that requires precision will accustom children to think creatively and efficiently.
Your little one can also understand how much ability he has, so that he will grow up to be a child who is productive and skilled in empowering himself independently.
So that it doesn't burden your little one, make sure Beauties gives him tasks according to his age and abilities.
3. Teach Children Problem Solving Skills

Teaching children problem solving skills is very important from an early age. No need for complicated exercises, Beauties can use simple games that require problem solving, for example, taking apart puzzles or arranging blocks. Let the child think and explore various solutions until he finds a solution that he thinks is better.
The hope is that by encouraging your little one to be able to solve problems, it will not only develop creative thinking, but also foster an independent spirit and an attitude of not giving up easily in facing life's increasingly diverse challenges.
4. Frequently invite children to discuss

The moment your little one starts to be chatty is a good opportunity for us to teach him to communicate well and think creatively.
Try often asking for his opinion in your daily activities. For example, when brushing our teeth, we can ask “Why do you think we should always brush our teeth?” or “Why can't we be lazy about brushing our teeth?”.
Your child's answer doesn't have to be what you expect, the important thing is that he is confident in coming to a conclusion. Remember, chat casually, don't seem like you're dictating or controlling.
5. Always appreciate every effort

Children can have the motivation to continue trying new things when their learning outcomes are well appreciated.
For example, when your little one who previously didn't make the bed wants to do it, we can give a positive response by saying, “Wow, I'm happy, you know, little brother can now tidy up his own room.”
Tell your child what processes or results they have successfully gone through, so that they understand that they have done something worthy of praise and can maintain their positive attitude. So, don't just say good job, okay?
So, those are some tips for educating children so that in the future they can grow up to be productive and creative. It's important to remember that every child is unique so the approach can be adjusted to your little one's character and condition, beauties.
