Why Luck Quotes?
Everyone needs a bit of luck now and then, and quotes about luck or good fortune are great for a bit of a motivational boost. Lots of them also mention how to make your own luck (good or bad!) which can teach some great life lessons to kids - and adults! - along the way.
What parents should know
- It isn't a good idea to make kids overly reliant on the idea of luck for success, but it can be helpful sometimes when things just don't work out and it isn't anyone's fault.
- A lot of luck can be "made" in terms of achievements - everything from family background to how much money you have, so teach kids to be aware of just how "lucky" they might be compared to other people.
- There are a lot of superstitions around luck which kids may come across, so make sure you can have open, honest, and realistic conversations about things like lucky (or unlucky) numbers, charms, animals etc.
What to talk about with kids
- Being good at something might be lucky, but it's more likely to be because you worked really hard, practiced, and studied consistently.
- A scientific way of talking about luck is "probability" - which is a way of working out with mathematics how likely something is to happen (or not to happen).
- Sometimes bad things do just happen for reasons nobody can control - but having some bad luck doesn't mean you're a bad person!
