How to be a Role Model and Coach Constructive Reactions"},"content":{"rendered":"<div class=\"wpb-content-wrapper\"><p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What happens when your team loses? The rain falls? Or you can\u2019t find your glasses or keys?<\/p>\n<p>Do you shout and throw your hands in the air in despair? Angrily blame the referee, judges, weather forecaster \u2013 or even yourself for being \u2018so stupid\u2019? All of those reactions are common. But think of the children who watch and learn from your reactions. The high potential learners who are sometimes \u2018out of sync\u2019 with knowing how to behave and will copy your example?<\/p>\n<p>What if you could influence them into other, more constructive ways of behaving? Ones that encourage them to problem solve? To stick at a challenge? To find the silver lining to that rain cloud? \u2013 Well you can!<\/p>\n<h3>Being a Role Model<\/h3>\n<p>With a little practice, you can be a role model to the children in your care and show them (\u2018model\u2019) a way of reacting and thinking (\u2018role\u2019) that is healthy for them.<\/p>\n<p>Role models aren\u2019t really the popstars, sporting icons or cartoon heroes. The young children in your care watch and learn from <em>you<\/em> constantly; they are little copycats of so much of what you show, from how to talk and walk to how to determine if an experience is judged \u2018good\u2019 or \u2018bad\u2019. As they grow, even teenagers keen to show independence still have an eye on the \u2018parental modelling\u2019 shown to them as they gauge how to react to life\u2019s events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDo as I say, don\u2019t do as I do\u2026\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When your child\u2019s team loses, do you find it hard to cope with them shouting, wailing and waving (like they have seen you do)?<\/p>\n<p>Is it hard to be tolerant when they have a meltdown every time their friend is \u2018better\u2019 at swimming, spelling or being rewarded by the teacher?<\/p>\n<p>And many parents are pushed to their limit when trying to get a child to school (or even a party) who feels disaster has struck due to a rain shower or because they, (like you), feel that they must be \u2018so stupid\u2019 because they have lost their bag, glasses or locker key\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Children with high learning potential are often quick to be discouraged unless they have been coached in how to meet and deal with challenges. If parents and carers can model more positive reactions, this helps not only their child \u2013 but the adult, too!<\/p>\n<h3>What are the Main Areas of Concern?<\/h3>\n<p>It may not be easy to see for yourself where you could be modelling new, constructive behaviours. However, you could ask a trusted friend or partner for feedback on where your reactions aren\u2019t setting a helpful example to your children. Perhaps, without realising it, you are encouraging them to be anxious, selfish or demotivated. Or are you showing them how to react as though realistically small events might make them unwanted or are catastrophes that can\u2019t be overcome?<\/p>\n<p>A second suggestion is to see where your child appears to be reacting strongly. When do they have tantrums or meltdowns? What kinds of things do they seem to see as disasters? How do they describe themselves or \u2018self-talk\u2019 when they make a mistake? Some of these areas can probably be traced to them being copycats of your own role modelling and strong reactions. Take a look and see if you can identify these and begin to use gentler phrases, to talk about different sides to situations &#8211; win solutions and to voice a more positive attitude (even if to start with it\u2019s hard to really feel it inside).<\/p>\n<h3>Modelling Specific Behaviours<\/h3>\n<p>Using the above insights into your own child with high learning potential, here are some ideas and resources to explore:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #82368c;\">You don\u2019t win the lottery or your team loses &#8211; in international sports or a family board game!<\/span> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>You before: <\/strong>\u201cOh what a disaster!
