***Greetings***

---- *By a Concerned Friend here of the Future Generation*. While our world is consistently racing towards change, our **children alone remain the hope of tomorrow**. Their unique laughter lights up our homes, their dreams help build the nations, and their growth only shapes the world ahead. - So as we gather again in this very exciting contest by our thoughtful host @afrinn, I dearly welcome all parents, friends, and mentors to reflect on this deeply: ***how are we preparing our children for the future?*** ![ismail-salad-osman-hajji-dirir-v7FT5ngIEfA-unsplash.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ6mFW5QreozeuDoXziSSLA2yzjw2VtZ3baJ96gieWtzA/ismail-salad-osman-hajji-dirir-v7FT5ngIEfA-unsplash.jpg)[](https://unsplash.com/photos/boy-in-blue-and-white-plaid-shirt-reading-book-v7FT5ngIEfA)| |- ^{Below here I have some helpful, practical, and loving steps we can all take to help raise a healthy, confident, and well-rounded children.} --- > **🧒 What kind of food is most suitable for the proper mental and physical development of a child?**

Our Children definitely needs the **nutrient-rich meals** to grow very strong and really smart. The *whole_grains, the fruits, and vegetables*, the **Proteins** ( *gotten from fish, eggs, meat, beans, milk*), play a crucial role to easily build the muscles, sharpen the brain, and perfectly protect children from sickness. The Foods rich in **iron and calcium** improve too the memory and bone strength. Eating of Junk foods should be reduced massively. Instead, a simple home-cooked meals full of love go a long way for our children! > **🧒 How can parents play a role in instilling good habits in children (such as reading on time, discipline, politeness)?** Our Children are likely to always **copy what they see**, not just what they hear. So Parents must become what is ascribed a **role models** by practicing many *discipline, kindness, and respect at home*. Fixing of a daily reading time, using polite words, and awesomely rewarding good behaviors with praise teaches the children to act right. So Teaching by example leaves a deep and very lasting impact in/on the children > **🧒 What kind of effects does spending too much time on mobile or tablet have on children?** While our mobile devices can always help our children to learn, **an excessive screen time** can lead to **eye problems, poor sleep, low attention, and as well even emotional issues**.

Children may somehow become less active, less social, and even forget how to enjoy the real world. So Parents must do well to set time limits and also encourage a **face-to-face conversations** and outdoor fun activities. > **🧒 What kind of games or activities are most suitable for increasing confidence and creativity in children?** Many of these Interesting Games like the *puzzles, storytelling, building blocks, drawing,* and even some outdoor activities which includes 👣 **football, hide-and-seek, and the nature walks**, always helps in boosting the confidence and creativity in children. Such of all these activities make the children 🤔 think fast, explore, share and feel really proud of themselves. When our children play more freely, they grow so braver, smarter, and happier. ![marisa-howenstine-Cq9slNxV8YU-unsplash.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdmxEbgnyXpZYoyA7LLzWMxsBKwkComqjQSGr8X9gJRev/marisa-howenstine-Cq9slNxV8YU-unsplash.jpg)[](https://unsplash.com/photos/two-toddler-playing-letter-cubes-Cq9slNxV8YU) --- **In conclusion,** *raising children with much care, balance, and love is indeed the greatest investment in the tomorrow to come**.
