Leaving Your Comfort Zone

DESCRIPTION Challenging your child is part of guiding and supporting them. Does it sound cruel? It shouldn’t if you do it appropriately. Challenging them means believing in them and encouraging them to leave their comfort zone. Besides, do you know any successful entrepreneurs who wished to be stagnant in one place? On today’s episode, Irene will discuss how to help your kids reach more of their goals and leave their comfort zone. How could they come to the realisation of their goals if they don’t try? Learn from Irene how you could teach them how to be confident in gearing towards their goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Here are things you could tell your kid on how to convince him to leave his comfort zone: “It’s going to be scary but you have to face your fear.” There’s a quote that’s very apt for this – “Comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there.” The first step is to let them acknowledge they have to leave it and act now! “You will fail you will learn and be confident.” Not everyone is gonna hit it the first time, anyways. Failure is a difficult thing to understand for kids. You just have to be there to tell him that it’s part of the process. You learn a lot and gain confidence if failure happens. “Continue to challenge yourself.” The comfort zone also expands and grows, so a person also has to continue getting away from it. There are more opportunities and experiences that could happen if they continue to push themselves. BEST MOMENTS “Being able to set a goal and achieving it is an amazing feeling.” “You learn more from failures than you ever will from successes.” “Do not let fear take hold of you and stop you.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Young Achievers Podcast (https://omny.fm/shows/young-achievers/playlists/podcast) ABOUT THE HOST Irene Santineer is a working Mum of an entrepreneurial child & shares a passion, with her husband, to see children succeed.
