Developing habit's of encouraging young minds

Thoughtfulness is not limited to gift's, appreciations, and gratitude's, there is more to it.

I was told by my nephew that he loves me so much, because I encourage him in the thing's he does, play with him most of the time's, and as well, I do listened to him, even in the times I needed another blue's to my raggae.

Taking from his speech, he let me to understand that, it used to gives him so much joy, when i show those character's.

I was amazed when he make that statement, and I wish he knew that I love him so much too.

What brought this up was because, he was making some drawing on the ground with a stick.

The drawing was about a man who has a chi, and he go around the village, and takes people's things by force, the man has lives this lifestyle for quite long

Most of the time, when he takes people's things, and the owner wants to fight back, he will used his chi on them, and by so, they were not a match to his power's.

So, one day, he thought it was going to be the same way as it usually happens, so he went ahead and took a man belongings, thinking the man was going to overlooked it as others did.

Yet, the man fight back, because he as well has a chi, they fought and the man beat him mercilessly, he beg for forgiveness, and the man warned him not to torment people in the village again, if not, he will come for him.

Therefore, the man who use his chi to take people's thing's apologize that he is not going to do it again.

I was very surprised by my nephew's talent of drawing, and also, as he was making it in a movie form, I was enjoying his narration, so it makes me to relate his talent to people in the family.

Everyone that saw the sketch knows he was gifted, so with that exposure I have made of his talent, the excitement was all over his face, because all this while, no one has gave attention to the drawings he made, and just as he says, I make people to see how good he is in drawing.

But, when I asked my nephew to take his sketch very serious, he let me to understand that, he loves drawing, because that is something he does when he is finding a great time, but he loves football game more.

It makes me surprised when he mentioned most of the top football club in the world, and also, said something about their performances on their league's tables, To be sincere, his liking make me to remember my child age as well, because, football was a thing I love so much too.

To summarize everything that day, my opinion was that, I am giving him my support in whatsoever he wants to do, as far as it gives him happiness.

Be it a job we chose to do to make a living, or any other thing, if it's giving us that joy, that means, it is the thing for us.

It's beautiful the way you are encouraging your nephew and supporting his talent; it will go a long way in shaping who he will become positively. He also sounds like a smart and intelligent kid.

But what is Chi? It that some supernatural power of some sort.

Thank you very much. I have to make him believe in himself.
Chi are some powers that fighters (martial artist) poses, it helps them to defeat their opponent.

He is lucky to have you in his corner.

And now I know Chi, thanks.

Support, understanding and respect are more important than material things. Your nephew will never forget this, and it will serve as a foundation for his emotional development and adult life.
