It is essential that these children learn to cope with their negativism and have techniques and strategies to overcome it.

Ten tips to get the child to be optimistic
1.
Analyze the situation . At what time does your child have that pessimistic attitude? Is it a constant attitude, or is it at the time of performing certain tasks that you know are worse? 2.
Train with him those tasks that are worse for him
, that will make him gain confidence in himself.
3.Start working from the level that the child is, asking him for things that we know he can get. If the level of demand is too high, the child can be frustrated knowing that he will not get it, and we will favor his pessimistic thoughts.
4.Work the importance of the effort since childhood. That knows that before the adversities, the answer is not the complaint nor negative verbalizations like '
I can not', 'is that very difficult', 'to me it does not leave to me' ....5.Refuse him a lot
when something goes well, that he feels important and proud.6.Attend to him also when he does not have a pessimistic attitude que, that he sees that he has more attention in positive than in negative.7.
When it is very blocked it is not the time to talk to himor to make him reason. It is better to wait for it to happen, because no matter how hard we try to see things in a positive way, you first need to 'disconnect' before continuing with the task. 8.
Highlight your qualities, list or make a list with him of the things you are good at, however small and insignificant they may seem to have to learn to value them.9.
Teach the child to accept himself as he is. We have to learn to love ourselves and accept ourselves as we are from childhood with our limitations. You can not always be the best playing football, or basketball. The important thing is to strive to do things as well as possible. 10.
Let's not forget that the main source of learning for children is modeling. Children copy their reference adults than their parents. Let's be a model of overcoming adversity, not negativity.
