The birth of a child is a great blessing for the parents and unconditional love is part of the package of course, but there’s more to parenting than just love. Good parents want to groom their children into becoming future leaders of the world, but it’s easier said than done. To make things a little less confusing, here are six tips that should show you the way to turn your child into an independent individual, naturally capable of leadership.
Lead by Example
Young children have little to no understanding of the world and almost everything they do is copied behavior from someone else. Therefore, it is very, very important that the parents lead by example, especially during the early formative years. While there are several guidelines to doing this, a very simple rule to follow here is this; act, behave and talk in the same manner that you would want your child to, as a grown up later in life. What and how you do things in front of them as children will play a big role in their future development. You will be able to teach them about responsibility and respect by simply reflecting the same characteristics through your behavior. For example, always keep your promises and try to refrain from outweighing the opinion of one parent immediately in front of the children.
Proper Pre-Schooling
Proper schooling is of course, all-important later in life, but pre-school is even more important in shaping the core character of a child. Send your child to a pre-school that follows the Montessori Method. The training will use the early formative years (which lasts up until 6) to teach your child about the basics of becoming an independent, respectful, communicative, persevered and liberated individual; all of which are necessary qualities for becoming a leader later in life.
Encourage Perseverance

I’m a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn’t change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!
