All parents hope that their child will grow up to be kind, sympathetic and obedient. But for this you need to make some efforts to help your baby understand what is good and what is bad.
Initially, children are not born angry and disobedient, the wrong upbringing of adults makes them that way.
- Get a pet. Kitten, rabbit, puppy, or anyone else. A kid, accustomed to taking care only of himself, will learn to take care of someone else. This will help the baby to become more responsive, responsible, because you need to take care of your pet, feed it, play with it.
- Do good deeds together. Feed stray dogs and cats. Help old people carry heavy bags. Make a feeder and feed the birds. Teach you to give up your seat on public transport. In response to good deeds, encourage the child with praiseworthy words, gratitude, a smile, and encouragement. Let the baby learn from childhood that by doing good, he gets positive emotions, good mood and a joyful sense of his own importance.
- Do not force your child to share his toys, sweets, and other belongings with other children. At least up to 3 years old. Until this age, everything connected with him is HIS. His toys, His candy, His mom. And by taking this away, there is a risk of developing such qualities as selfishness and greed. Respect your child's personal space.
- Read, listen, or watch good stories. Fortunately, now, with the presence of the Internet, you can easily find those. They will teach the kid altruism and kindness. Discuss with him which of the heroes he liked best, how he would act in the situations described in fairy tales. Let the kid imitate the good characters he likes.
- Develop tolerance, caring and kindness in your child with your selfishness, no matter how strange it may sound. Be sure to find time for yourself, your relaxation, and personal care. Let the baby know that the mother has her own business, and she cannot and should not constantly fulfill his needs and indulge him in everything.
The most important thing in this matter is not to overdo it, so as not to cause a backlash from the baby. Very often, overly selfish, greedy and jealous children of those mothers who go too far in raising a child to be kind and sympathetic. It is also important to reconcile the line between kind and very kind, since overly kind people in today's world, unfortunately, run the risk of being misunderstood, ridiculed and rejected by society.
