How Do You Define Success for Your Children?


We call ourselves successful when we grow up happy and healthy in mind and spirit. The same is true for our children. The great thing about parenting is that we are the natural teacher of our children even if we like it or not. Therefore, your own success is important. It serves as a beacon for your children on the path to success. It’s important how you want your child to learn the emotional, mental, physical, and financial ingredients of success.

We all have different areas that we feel are important in measuring our success. In order to raise successful children, we must first recognize that being successful is not just about being the richest kid around. Our children imitate us and follow us, but they are not copies of us. Even if you come from a long line of army Generals and are one yourself, that doesn’t mean your son is made up of the same tough stuff. We need to realize that our children are different people than we are and can follow very different paths. It is critical to understand what values we want to share with our children.


Some most successful kids had poor childhood having suffered many setbacks such as losing their parents early, living in poverty, or being unable to attend school. There are many external factors that our children face and we have no control over. You don’t need to be perfect and powerful to raise them. Parenting is all about inculcating confidence in a harmonious environment. To be successful, children must develop good skills such as effective communication and problem-solving. This combination is a formula for success. It works in a variety of ways for your child to be independent. Success is how they perform the task at hand with minimum resources.

Parenting is about appreciating the fact that you cannot write the destiny of your children but can prepare them well to follow it on their own. Let your children learn to become the master of their own destinies by:

  1. Choosing to enjoy the present moment instead of thinking of the future.

  2. Choosing to celebrate instead of mourn.

  3. Feeling happy in small things.

  4. Taking every new day as a new opportunity to become better than they were yesterday.

  5. Acting in a way that they start positively impacting other people’s lives.
