"Mom, I fell in love and will soon get married!" - such a statement baffles many parents, especially when the child is only 5-6 years old. How to respond to such conclusions of the baby? What should I say to him?
Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to correlate the child's age and his feelings. Children 4-10 years old usually announce only sympathy for a representative of the opposite sex with such remarks, while the younger generation (from 11 years old) may already have in mind a rather serious experience.
Step 2
In no case do not laugh at the child, do not scold him and do not try to get to the bottom of the matter, loading the child with questions. Such actions will only force the child to withdraw into himself. It is best to make unobtrusive and light hints of a good mood and a happy appearance of your child, tell the story of your first feeling, without expecting a reciprocal frankness. Over time, if the child wants, he himself will tell you everything.
Step 3
Even if for some reason you do not understand the choice of your child, you do not need to speak negatively about the object of tender feelings of a young lover (in love). Your goal is, first of all, to become a friend of your child, whom you can trust in any matter. Besides, how else should the younger generation learn to be independent? Indeed, very soon, your today's baby is expecting a really serious feeling, which, perhaps, will remain with him until the end of his life.
