As we grow up we sometimes don't understand the value of staying aware or say being Proactive about things in life. It could be a lot of things like- Personal Health and hygiene, skill development, getting into wrong groups, developing bad habits, and so on.
There could be a lot of reasons for it majorly being the lack of guidance from family and parents, lack of discipline, Stubborn attitude or taking things for granted, etc etc.
But these things make ur regret later in life when you cross 25-30 years of age and then it kind of gets too late for several things.
So, now how can we improve this?
firstly to especially new parents and family or close relatives/friends it's really important to observe your child and his/her habits as well as behavioral pattern. Try to indulge the child in some or the other kind of skill development or co-curricular activity. It's not just always about the academics but the overall performance that really matters in the outer real world.
for example - Sports, Music, Dance, Art & craft and so many other things.
Secondly, very very important to take care of your health and be very aware of it because the moment we are born we start growing older and if we do not work on ourselves at an early age we tend to lose our strength gradually. Our metabolism, energy is too high when we are younger so it makes easy for us to learn things, also our grasping power is high. No doubt we can learn anything at any age but it takes longer than ever.
Thirdly, if you notice any kind of deficiency in your self start away now. It can be baldness or hair fall, skin issues, internal or external body issues. Never ever underestimate it.
Try and be proactive for everything around, TRAVEL a lot while you grow up that could be one of the best experiences of your life ever, eat and burn the calories, try adventure sports, definitely face your fears. Overall learn as much as you can.
Because once you start living in your comfort zone and in denial of everything that would prove to be the biggest mistake which also could difficult or even impossible to improve.
Always be in touch with your child and whats happening in their life who are they friends with, etc
Just make the most of this beautiful life and be happy.
