With a different perspective, you\u2019ll soon realize that the imperfections help to shape the beauty of life. Here\u2019s a toast to raising a happy champion!<br \/>\nToday\u2019s children are told that the world is scary: be afraid, stay at home, and don\u2019t climb a tree unless it has been risk assessed. Taking risks and challenges are developmental imperatives for a healthy childhood. They provide the courage to take life by the horns, fulfilling dreams and goals later in life.<br \/>\nParenting has become such a competitive sport that most care a lot about what others think, rather than what is beneficial for the little one. For some parents, their children have become a commodity \u2013 treated as this season\u2019s <em>IT<\/em> bag or Mercedes. Whereas some children are already presented with exam stress at a young age by <em>\u201cRabbit Mums\u201d<\/em>, taking on extra-curricular activities, on top of an already full plate of school work. Subconsciously, such a parenting style can result in a narcissistic trip, doing more damage than good to Junior.<br \/>\nParents need to be completely honest with themselves and re-evaluate children\u2019s needs and priorities. \u201cWhom are we doing this for?\u201d \u201cWhat makes Junior happy?\u201d and \u201cWhat\u2019s Junior\u2019s latent talent?\u201d are just some of the questions that will help to ease your parenting woes. Here are some tips to help you raise happy kids, building a strong foundation to prep Junior for the journey of life.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don\u2019t have to be a perfect parent, simply because the world<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8964,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,137,98,44],"tags":[1636,259,1637,1638,671,132],"class_list":["post-8954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-family","category-food-nutrition-toddler","category-health-development","category-parents","tag-child-growth","tag-children","tag-happy-child","tag-happy-kid","tag-parenthood","tag-parents"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Raising a Happy Champion - PARENTSWORLD<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/parentsworld.com.sg\/2018\/05\/07\/raising-a-happy-champion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Raising a Happy Champion - PARENTSWORLD\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You don\u2019t have to be a perfect parent, simply because the world\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/parentsworld.com.sg\/2018\/05\/07\/raising-a-happy-champion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"PARENTSWORLD\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/parentsworldsingapore\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-05-07T08:40:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/parentsworld.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_740542930.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"334\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jasmine\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jasmine\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/parentsworld.com.sg\\\/2018\\\/05\\\/07\\\/raising-a-happy-champion\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/parentsworld.com.sg\\\/2018\\\/05\\\/07\\\/raising-a-happy-champion\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Jasmine\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/parentsworld.com.sg\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/2517380422f25f5b81c07cfae1c66597\"},\"headline\":\"Raising a Happy Champion\",\"datePublished\":\"2018-05-07T08:40:04+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/parentsworld.com.sg\\\/2018\\\/05\\\/07\\\/raising-a-happy-champion\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":261,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/parentsworld.com.sg\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/parentsworld.com.sg\\\/2018\\\/05\\\/07\\\/raising-a-happy-champion\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/parentsworld.com.sg\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/05\\\/shutterstock_740542930.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"child growth\",\"children\",\"happy child\",\"happy kid\",\"parenthood\",\"parents\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Family\",\"Food &amp;
