Choose a nickname that's a sign of strength

Giving your child a special nickname can reinforce positive character traits. Discuss your child's greatest character strength and how it will help in life. Then, find out how to say the strength in another language, and turn it into a name. For example, a brave child might be called "El Valiente." When your child shows that strength, use the nickname. Explain what it means. If your child likes the name, it may stick.
