Does your child know the difference between bragging and being humble?

The dictionary describes the word humble as, “not proud or not arrogant” as oppose to bragging which means, “to talk boastfully”.

Teach them that bragging is not considered to be nice or polite and is really not necessary.  Someone who is really good at something does not need to brag by telling others how good he/she is, because people already know it…as they are able to see it for themselves!

Remember, you are not just teaching the action of not to brag, but rather, you are teaching the attitude of humility.  Teaching the attitude of humility allows for even greater things to happen because you are not trying to impress others by talking about yourself.  Understanding that having an attitude of humility frees you to just love and live...your best you!
