Teaching intrapersonal skills to your children

Intrapersonal skill, also known as soft skills, is learning about oneself. It is the ability to know one’s self in a deeper sense. It is self-managing. It is a step above Time Management. It is not about knowing what to say or do at the right time and in the right place. It is about how you say or do them. It is about cultivating inner knowing of who you are. It is your way of thinking and doing. It is about your attitude.  It is about having an attitude that aligns with what you think and what you do. Some people call it emotional intelligence. This is the ability to put oneself in another person’s shoes.

Attitude formation and or change are the outcomes of learning interpersonal skills. A negative attitude is likely to produce a negative thought and consequently leads to a negative action. Conversely, a positive attitude is likely to generate a positive thought and invariably results in a positive action.

How do we teach interpersonal skills in children? They learn much more from what they see their parents do than from what they hear them say. What do you do to help them develop attitudes that align with the kind of person you desire for them when they grow up? What are you regretting you did not do with them when they were younger?
