You need to start forming habits in children as early as possible. This will help make life easier for both the baby and all household members.
Instructions
Step 1
Every mother knows how difficult it is to teach a child to fall asleep alone in her bed. Many parents make the mistake of teaching a child to be sick. Over time, this can turn into a big problem. Before going to bed, ventilate the baby's room, fresh air promotes healthy sleep. Read the story if necessary, but no more than 10 minutes. When leaving, say good night and retire to your room. The child must learn to fall asleep on their own.
Step 2
You can teach your baby to clean the room by your own example. Show how you do the cleaning, how you put your personal belongings in the closet, how you make the bed. Young children very often want to be like adults, so teach your child by example. Explain that you will be very pleased if the baby fulfills your request, and then praise for the work done. Love for order and accuracy must be developed as early as possible.
Step 3
The good habit of washing your hands is also developed through personal example. Tell and show your child how and why to carry out this procedure. That you need to wash your hands not only after a walk, but also after each visit to the toilet. In such a situation, improvised means can help: a child's curly crumpled animal, a funny colored washcloth, the main thing is to arouse the child's interest, he will do the rest himself. While washing your hands, you can hum a children's song or recite a counting rhyme where each finger wants to be washed.
Step 4
Another good habit to tell your child about is the habit of saying hello. You need to explain what courtesy is and why it is so important. Tell your child to say hello to everyone at all times. It is quite easy to teach to be polite, as children are curious and actively learn from the example of adults. In addition to the words "Hello", the meaning of the word "Thank you" should be explained. The sooner the child learns basic things, the easier it will be for him to adapt in the future.
Step 5
Remember that it can take a long time to develop a habit. It is important to be calm while explaining to your child exactly what you want from him. You need to be prepared for the fact that you will have to repeat it more than once. In any case, praise the baby, the child must understand what he is doing and how correct.
