Factors to nurture in children in order to foster success

Success is the accomplishment or achievement of a goal that people usually desire. It is often planned during our childhood and implemented with the help of a better environment. We all consider children as the future of tomorrow, so they have to receive the necessary from everybody who is willing to provide something to reach a successful life. Parents and tutors should value the hard-work because success doesn’t come to you; you have to go find it; they have the responsibility to ensure a bright future for a child by showing him the

For example, 6 years from now, when I moved to a new city and joined a new school, I struggled to make and find my way through success in that school. I almost failed at my first term.
But with time, I made new friends. We shared ideas and knowledges to make understandable certain things for us. That’s why schools encourage children to work together. It develops your interpersonal skills. Schools allow a child to interact with other people and refine his communications skills, including those of persuasion, conflict resolution, and teamwork (“Why is education is so important” sec 2).
Education is something you can’t lose, so it would be the wisest choice to get as much of it as you can (‘I believe education is the key to success” par 1). Parents should provide those needs to children, as this would give them a purpose in their lives and make them learn from their mistakes.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”

When a child is abandoned and does not have a real place to live, his/her life is going to be stressful all the time. For instance, in one of the books I am reading, the case of a girl named Monisha Sullivan was mentioned; her story was related to the importance of home for a small kid.
Monisha had a difficult childhood. She was removed from her home and placed in foster care. She moved from house to houses in her recent years. Her worst experience ever was when she left her home and placed in foster care. All of these damaged the girl because she was always feeling stressful and depressed about the coming and going she used to live.(Tough p 14-15).

And finally, they need love or support. Love is everything, it builds many things in

    Children are supposed to be able to depend on their parents and relatives for support and protection, as well as mothers and fathers being able to depend on agencies for protection and support when in need.

The children of these mothers were not able to depend on their fathers and relatives due to the types of harm that could have been brought onto them, or the underlying factor that many of the mothers and their children were isolated. Mothers as well, could not depend on other people and provided agencies.…
