In some culture, children are often told that they can achieve anything if they try hard enough. What are the advantages and disadvantages of giving children this message.

It is popular among some nations that making children believe that they can do whatever they want, if they

work

very hard for it.

This

point of view has its own pros and cons. The advantage is that,

this

thinking can bring confidence in them and its disadvantage is that they never learn to accept defeat. Many parents start feeding their kids,

this

thought, that they can do whatever they want to do. It brings confidence in their child.

This

kind of encouragement makes them

work

very hard to achieve their goals.

For example

, if the child doesn’t hear, that he is capable of doing anything it might discourage him and kill his enthusiasm.

This

kind of winning attitude makes the child to do something innovative and daring.

Although

, the message seems very good and it looks it has all the positivity in it, but if not properly communicated, it can be very fatal for the kid’s mental growth. With

this

eagerness to win all the time, we have to ensure that they know how to cope up with failure. If not, when these kids face a setback they are not able to handle it very well and

as a result

it will affect their minds.

For instance

, it has been seen very often that those who

work

hard to win, if face a defeat, can’t accept it and either they stop doing hard

work

or start planning a revenge. To conclude, children become what we teach them to be,

therefore

it is parents’ duty to make them confident enough to

work

hard so that they can make it to their goals. While doing so, they should

also

teach them to face a failure. The balance between both these attributes can make their children to be really successful in life.
