Do parents know that training children to have a positive thinking is the key to your children’s confidence and stability in the face of life’s difficulties. To achieve that goal, children need the support of parents to accompany them to become a person with a happy life. Positive thinking is not a built-in trait, it is the result of a long process of training from an early age. It is thanks to this process that positive thinking will be the premise for children to become happy people, global citizens who create positive values for society. So how can parents train this way of thinking for their children?   1. Be positive to your children: Many studies show that children’s lifestyle tends to be influenced by parents, so to teach children to be positive, parents also need to have a positive lifestyle in all circumstances. When faced with their child’s mistakes, parents absolutely must not show attitudes such as anger, blame and ridicule, but should use gentle words to remind their children such as: “Next time, don’t make that mistake”, “Next time you’ll be a little more careful, you’ll do better”. Living in a happy and optimistic environment, children will also learn the habit of being optimistic, happy and seeing things from a fresher perspective.     2. Take good care of your child from physical to mental: The relationship between parents and children is a stable relationship, it is a bond connected by love, so there is no child who does not like to be cared for and comforted by their parents. Help parents take the time to show their affection for their children by a few small actions such as cuddling, playing with their children. This will help children feel the joy and love of parents, so they will
