2 IDEAS FROM ME:
1.
" High achieving kids focus more on end result than process at times. Help your high achiever to relish the actual process and focus on the enjoyment of their craft. "
------------------
2.
"Tired of the complaining and arguing about food choices? Have a strong and focused conversation and set the stage for what meal planning and prep is going to look like in your family. Allow your kids to be part of the conversation and empower them to help as well as build gratitude for the food that is provided."

1 QUOTE FROM OTHERS:
“ I gave the above mom the following five tips for assisting her children toward developing a humble social attitude:
- Train children to serve by assigning them to unpaid chores in and around the home. It is axiomatic, as our fore-parents used to say, that good citizenship begins in the home. Chores should begin at age 3 and increase steadily from there.
- Train children to pay attention to the needs of others by teaching proper manners. The social graces consist of small, gentle acts that acknowledge respect for others; thus, the gentleman and gentlewoman.
- When kids act “full of themselves”—when they brag about their accomplishments for example—let them know that boasting is disrespectful of those who may have tried as hard but did not do as well; that it is an example of bad manners.
- When a child does well academically, artistically, or athletically, low-key praise is certainly appropriate, but consider coupling it with words that cause the child to begin thinking of ways he can use his gifts to better the lives of others.
- Be a good role model and mentor of humility. Show your kids what being a good neighbor is all about. Be helpful toward those in need and adversity. Make volunteerism a visible aspect of your life and the life of your family.
Because, to paraphrase the inimitable Forrest Gump, humility is as humility does."
John Rosemond, discussing how to build humility and service in your child.
