Family Tip #5 – Don’t Compare Yourself with Others

.

Today’s Family Tip: Don’t Compare Yourself to Others

God has placed unique gifts and talents inside  you that the world needs. Don’t try to be like someone else, become the best version of YOU!

.

Suggestions for how parents can help their children not to compare themselves with others:

1. Encourage your children to focus on their own progress and accomplishments to develop a stronger sense of self-worth and confidence. Acknowledge and celebrate the progress you see in them.
2. Every child is unique with their own set of strengths, gifts and abilities. Ask God to give you insight into how He’s made them, and share what you learn with your children.  This will help them recognize and appreciate their own unique qualities.
3. Model for your children how to have appreciation for others’ successes rather than feelings of resentment.
4. Focus less on external markers of success (grades and achievements) and more on personal effort and growth.
5. Help your children set personal goals and strive for self-improvement. This fosters a growth mindset where they see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than threats to their self-worth.
