Some people believe that fostering the concept of being capable of achieving anything in juveniles if they put in enough endeavour is appropriate as proper parenting. There are some pros and cons to this idea and I agree that the advantages outweigh the negative side.
There are several advantages for children adhering to such an ideology. Firstly, it encourages strong motivation and perseverance, so children will learn not to give up easily when facing difficulties. It also boosts confidence and self-belief, which results in children growing up believing in their abilities and helps them to tackle challenges in the future. Secondly, not only does it teach the value of hard work, but it also promotes goal setting and ambition. In other words, it would help them understand that success comes from effort and not that luck or talent alone is enough. Finally, it develops resilience and emotional strength so that they can learn to cope with failure positively and try again until they succeed.
On the other hand, there are also some drawbacks that cannot be overlooked. Putting this idea into children’s minds will create unrealistic expectations, as some goals are limited by personal ability, opportunity, and certain circumstances. These delusions might lead to frustration and low self-esteem if failure occurs. It might impose the feeling of being inadequate, and start blaming themselves. This mostly occurs because juveniles raised with this style, often ignore external factors which play a pivotal role, such as varying social, emotional, financial, and educational support for every individual. As a result, their life might get out of balance, and they only focus on achievement and neglect other aspects of life, like health or happiness.
In conclusion, confronting children with this pattern of ideology might come with some serious drawbacks; however, I believe that the overall benefits of this perspective far outweigh the potential negative impacts
