| Here’s How to Empower Your Kids --taken from solo mommy magazine
by Feona Sharhran Huff
When they says she/he can’t, tell her she can. Then show her how to do so in a loving, step-by-step manner.
Surround her with literature that affirms her greatness. Reading tales that she can relate to and that has her interest at heart will give her the boost she needs to be all that she can be.
Speak daily affirmations. Each morning, I tell my daughter that she is beautiful and worthy of all blessings that God has promised her. I tell her that she is smart and talented. I have her to recite the affirmations so that it has even more feeling and meaning.
Congratulate her on a job well done. Nothing builds self-esteem more than when you know you’ve accomplished something and are acknowledged for it. By celebrating her milestones, you are encouraging her to continue on the path.
Give her specific tasks to do. Action breeds independence, and once she is independent, she feels good about herself. When she feels good about herself, she’ll believe that she can do and conquer the world.

Agree there to some extent....however,, Better to empower to mother first, otherwise, the child sees an over empowered father over the mother and becomes confused..

As a mother or father you can do all the things mentioned above to your kid but it will not really make a difference if there is no love in it.
Kids grow up with the love of their parents. A mother's love is so dvine and special, it is a safe haven for the kids, it makes the house warm and welcoming, makes every dish tastes yummy even if it is a trial one and makes visitors feel at home. Fathers do love their kids but it is not the same. A mother's love makes a child's world complete. The best fathers can do for their kids is love their mother wholly(my man thought me this, thanks honey. you are the best), that makes the home stable and the kids grow up with the love of both their parents. Kids are very observant and if they see that their parents love each other and are happy, then they are happy too and that drives them forward to achieve more in life.
When that is in place, do all the things mentioned above to your kid and you will see results..
So we all have a lot of work on our hands..
Happy parenting...
