Toddlers develop so quickly in their early years, and often what your child shows in their first three years can be an indication of how they will be when they are older. If you notice these character traits in your child, try to encourage and develop them:

Children with a strong sense of responsibility at a young age

Toddlers who demonstrate Responsibility know how to apologize and even own up to wrongdoings when they make mistakes. As they grow, toddlers with a strong sense of responsibility tend to be reliable, careful, responsible, forward-thinking, and trustworthy. A sense of responsibility is a sign of a leader.

Children with a sense of responsibility will always strive to learn and progress and are often chosen as leaders.

To instill a sense of responsibility in your child, lead by example. Also, you cannot teach a child to take responsibility if they know they will be severely punished if they fail at something. Hitting, yelling, or threatening your child will only cause them to become fearful. As a result, they will lie and find ways to avoid responsibility. When teaching your child how to make decisions regarding a situation, teach them to take responsibility for their choices.

If your child does something wrong, explain it to them and help them understand the consequences instead of just yelling or criticizing them. 

Children who do not give up easily when faced with challenges

Toddlers who display perseverance in the face of challenges show signs of having a bright future. One of the most important personality traits of successful people is perseverance. Aiming for a goal and going after it with a strong will to succeed is a quality of successful people. Giving up easily is a sign of defeat right from the start. Perseverance and not giving up also shows that your child has a strong spirit and the inner strength to face challenges.

Parents can rest easy when their children show signs of perseverance. On the other hand, children who get discouraged and give up easily are usually less confident and physically and mentally weaker, and are more likely to become depressed and be negatively influenced.

Therefore, if you see your child persevering, it is a good sign that they will grow up to be successful. 

Children who like to try new things and have a thirst for experiences

If your child loves to have new experiences and is always ready and eager to try new things, be happy and don’t accuse them of being a thrill-seeker. This is a sign of an intelligent child who will achieve much in life. Experience is a way to gain knowledge and succeed.

So if your child likes to try anything, it means they have a lot of potential and you should create opportunities to support their experiences. At this time, parents should not discourage their children but should encourage them to do whatever is reasonable.

Never discourage your child by saying things like, “What’s the point?” or “What good will that do for your life or your studies?” Any experience is a valuable lesson, as long as it is healthy, does not harm your child, or lead them down the wrong path.

Many parents only want their children to do well in school and do not focus on their everyday experiences. But you should know that everyday experiences are very valuable because they help your child become a knowledgeable child with real-world experience, not just like the chickens who only learn from books. 

Therefore, sharing experiences with your child is also very interesting, and it can provide you with an opportunity to change your life and bond with your child even more. Sometimes, sharing experiences with your child can teach you a better lesson about life.
