As curious and inquisitive as our children are there can be the odd time where your child isn’t feeling too well mentally. But it can be an easy fix to incorporate a few things into your routine that will make your child grow a more positive outlook on life.

This nursery in Romsey has provided us with the three best methods to look into how to channel positivity into your child’s life.

Challenge negative thoughts
Throughout all of our lives we have negative thoughts that make us think twice about what we’re doing and what we’re coming up against. When your child starts to make similar statements that begin to concern you, why not combat them with positive affirmations?

If they are struggling with their maths homework, for example, why not tell them that it is achievable with the right steps towards fixing things? In these cases, sitting down and helping them with their homework and answering their questions step by step will encourage them to be more positive about the subject.

Maintain a positive relationship with your child
Not every conversation you have with your child is going to be a glowing experience, but you can make all those conversations you do have as worthwhile as they can be. When you’re on a bus ride, driving to a location or going somewhere new, start a positive conversation along the way. They may feel more motivated and more positive when they reach their destination!

Where you can, aim to work on how you speak in front of your child. Opinions, speech and words matter and they will remember it, so ensure you’re speaking positively and openly when in front of your child.

Building a strong bond with your child comes not just from positive speech, but also through activities done together, what is done when you spend time together and how they behave in the home. It’s incredibly important to maintain that connection.

Encourage a routine
As they grow older they’ll begin to become used to the same parts of their morning and night-time routines like brushing their teeth, washing their face and choosing appropriate clothing for the day.

Doing this with chores involved also gives your child a purpose to their day and also breaks up the usual parts of their routine. Over time they’ll also learn to be accepting of these chores and how they help the home. Start providing them with rewards as well for a job well done!
