How old are your kids? Are they good readers, or do they like MP3 players? I ask, because if they do, the best way I think you can help them learn to deal with success is to study examples of how other people have done it.

Let me know how old they are and I can make some suggestions as to what they might want to read and listen to.

ALSO, the very fact that you are asking this question tells me your kids are already well on their way to doing the right things. You are obviously a caring parent. The main thing you need to do is stay with them, support them every step of the way and TEACH THEM HOW TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES !!!

The major problem I see these days is that our schools teach children knowledge, but they don’t necessarily teach them how to think for themselves. If you teach a child how to think for themselves, they will have most of the tools needed to deal with BOTH the successes and failures they will encounter throughout life.

Your post leaves me with another question : How do we train ourselves or others to deal with success? I have 3 kids and would really like to steer them towards this goal.

There are some celebrities that ’seem’ to devote themselves to doing good and at least keeping up the appearance of a decent, morally stable person. Most are not part of the ‘pop’ culture. Unfortunately those are not the ones that get the media attention, which is , sadly, what is teaching most of our young adults these days.

I skimmed over the Achievement IQ section and will read more when time permits. Maybe my questions will be better answered in that section. If not, I look forward to you expanding on this topic (if you want to…)

Welcome to my Google Reader!
And thanks for what you do!

Thank you for your kind words. It’s nice to see come over to the sight from Twitter. I’ve been receiving a lot of high-quality feedback from fellow Twitterers (you included) and it is greatly appreciated.

I do believe the world is for the most part focused on negativity as a whole but I also think you will find what you give. Often those who focus on negative are compensating in something they lack themselves.

Good food for thought.

I think your post was easy to read, which is nice, I get lost in long paragraphs online.
