To save a child from danger, adults are forced to say "no". This is not always met with understanding in the child. To avoid quarrels and conflicts, follow a few rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Speak in a stern voice, do not smile. Let your child understand the seriousness of the situation and that you will not change your mind.
Don't change your decisions. To avoid conflicts, agree with the rest of the family about what exactly you prohibit the child. For example, if you cannot eat sweets before lunch, then no one should make exceptions. Otherwise, the child, hearing "no", will go to his grandmother, who will surely regret it and allow him to eat the candy.
Step 2
Explain to the child why exactly this should not be done (you cannot drag the cat by the tail, because it hurts and she can scratch you). If possible, suggest an alternative: "You cannot draw with pencils on the wallpaper, but you can draw on a piece of paper, with chalk on a blackboard …" and so on.
Step 3
Be wise when forbidding a child. Perhaps it is high time to reconsider some prohibitions. Instead of forbidding you to play with your kitten, remind you to wash your hands after playing with the animal. Teach your child to master the world around him: how to handle sharp objects, what to do if glass breaks, etc.
Step 4
Remember that personal example has not been canceled.
Step 5
Do not prohibit, but play. Involve your favorite cartoon characters or fairy tales in the explanation, make a couple of dolls, act out a scene. Involve the child in this: let him explain to the negligent Buratino that you cannot touch the iron; and why you shouldn't be greedy to your favorite doll.
Step 6
Be patient. Talk to your child more often so that your speech is not just the word "no". Try not to abuse it, otherwise the child will simply stop paying attention to him.
If the child is still young, move away things that are the subject of your conflicts with him (scissors, matches, sharp objects, etc.).
Step 7
A child's negative behavior may simply mean that he does not know what to do. If a toy is taken away from him, then it is quite natural behavior for a child to hit the offender. Explain what to do in this situation: tell your mom or try to negotiate the return of the toy peacefully.
