Are you a born leader?
Have you ever watched or observed your kids as they grow from childhood to the next level? If you would notice, even at ages where you think they are innocent, know nothing but eat and play, you observe that at playtime, they tend to show leadership? How is this so? To become a leader, at times, you don’t need to speak, you just do it because that is what you think is right and needed. Our children, when they play, most of the time they don’t care, they just do what other playmates tell them to do. Maybe in this scenario, we can call the child a follower. On the other hand, there are kids who tend to tell playmates to do this and that, etc. In this case, we might say that this child is a leader. However, this cannot be considered a fact. Who knows maybe it is just a sign of a bullying?
As our kids grow older, changes happen. This is why childhood stage is very critical. Their learning start at home. Like what they say, parents are our children’s first educators. When they go outside, they mingle with other people and so there will be a mixture of external forces that will be additional factors in shaping their personalities.
Furthermore, the environment is one factor that influences our children’s way of thinking. What he gets from outside will be added to what he has. A child who did not have signs of leadership when he was younger could be developed into a good leader. Complexities of ideas, background and experiences, and of course education will be combined together to develop their full potential to become the best among the best and an excellent leader.
To our parents, help our children to be what they are supposed to be. Make sure they have the proper guidance in all aspects of life. When they fail, we will be saddened but we will never have regrets because we knew we did our part. We are just here to guide and mold them for what we think is best for them. In the end, they will be the one to choose their own path.
