Guest Post: 4 Important Things To Teach Your Kids

Isn’t it crazy how fast children go? One moment you are worried about tummy time and trying to figure out how you can get enough sleep and the next you are worried about their school projects and their new girlfriend or boyfriend. Time really does fly and before you know it, those children of yours will be adults. In order to make sure that they are healthy and functioning adults, there are a few important things to teach your kids along the way. Here are a few of those lessons that they need to learn:

Prioritize Healthy Relationships

One extremely important thing to teach your kids is to prioritize healthy relationships. Teach them how to spot toxic relationships and see when they have a good (or bad) friend. I think community and communication are extremely important lessons to learn, before you enter the ‘real world’ of business and adulthood, so start at a young age to make sure that they fully understand how to say goodbye to those friendships that are only bringing them down. Learning that fostering relationships is essential is important because without a community, or a tribe, you cannot truly thrive. Quite a few kids grow up learning from their parents marriages (which to be completely honest, they are not always the best) and I truly believe that we need some kind of formal education on forming and maintaining healthy relationships, but if they won’t teach it in school, which is currently the case, then at least try your very best to teach it at home.

Think For Yourself

Okay, this is an important lesson in and out of school. First of all, they have to learn how to do their own work or it will land them in a lot of trouble, but in addition, when it comes to everyday life, they have to be able to think for themselves to solve potential problems that arise.

Where cheap levitra and Priligy together can be risky and may cause ill effects, especially when consuming higher doses, Super Kamagra is safe to consume as it has controlled doses of both active ingredients. “There’s so much emphasis today on evaluating every aspect of students’ performance that for many children, simply raising their hand in class and giving a wrong answer can be scary and traumatic. They develop a fear of not being the smartest person in the room…which leads to hanging out in some very small rooms. It’s a shame, because in today’s most exciting places to work, the most interesting projects are built on experimentation and iterative processes. People who are afraid to learn in front of others and to risk throwing out “dumb” ideas are going to miss out on big opportunities. Walk into any room prepared, but don’t let anyone—a teacher, a coach, a boss or a customer—be the final judge and jury on you or your contributions. Authority figures may not be right, or their knowledge may be outdated or incomplete. Treat them with the respect you’d give any other fellow human being but draw your own conclusions about whether your ideas have value. And if you believe in your vision for something, bring it to life without waiting for permission from any gatekeeper. The beauty of being alive now, in the digital era, is that you can,” says Forbes.

Keep Up With Dental Cleanings

Dental cleanings – they are SO important and so many kids do not prioritize them, which is really unfortunate. According to Dr. Gary Simms with Metro Decatur Dental Group PC, “teeth cleaning is a routine part of a dental checkup, but you may not realize how important regular teeth cleaning can be for your overall health. Medical studies have shown that good oral hygiene not only helps prevent tooth loss, but can prevent heart disease, dementia and issues of diabetes, as well. You may do a good job brushing and flossing but a dental cleaning goes below the gum line for a more thorough teeth cleaning. During a dental cleaning, Metro Decatur Dental Group PC will remove any tartar and plaque from your  teeth. This will help prevent gum disease. Gum disease can lead to serious problems with bone and tooth loss. Regular dental cleaning lets your dentist monitor your dental health because prevention is a lot easier than intervention when it comes to dental disease.” Having a dental cleaning every six months is essential for your health, as you can see, and we need to teach this to our kids. If they do not prioritize their overall health and wellness starting at a young age, they will definitely regret it as they age. Luckily, Dr. Simms is a great dentist located in Decatur, Georgia. He has dedicated his life to dentistry, both for cosmetic and function. They offer services such as whitening, cleanings, fillings, root canals, bridges, crowns, veneers, and more. 

Work Is Important, But So Is Your Home Life

Thankfully, as the years go on, we see an improvement in work-life balance, but we still have quite a few workaholics. Although being a workaholic is not a bad trait whatsoever, I do believe that working TOO much will lead to burnout, stress, and health issues. This is why we need to teach our kids that yes, work is important, and in order to get anywhere in this world, you really do need to work hard. But, at the same time, your home life is also important. You have family members waiting for you to come home and you have social needs, as well. Find a balance and stick with it.
