For a child to be happy and grow up morally healthy, he needs a full-fledged family. But, unfortunately, there are situations when only the mother is involved in raising a child. It is not easy for women who are the only parent for their baby to explain to him why he does not have a dad.
Instructions
Step 1
The breakup of a family is often very difficult to survive. Indeed, despite the experiences and the oppressed state, it is still necessary to give affection and love to your child. For a child, this period in life is also difficult. Therefore, some mothers, in order to protect the baby from new experiences, come up with an answer to the question: “Why don't I have a dad?”, Which is a lie. This is the wrong decision, because sooner or later the baby will find out the truth and then it will be impossible to avoid psychological problems.
Step 2
Take the preparation of the answer to this question with a great deal of responsibility and seriousness. Do not think that your child will be absolutely calm about the absence of one of the parents in the family. Observing his peers in the kindergarten or on the street, not only with his mother, but also with his dad, he will wonder why he does not have a dad. The main thing is to remain calm when talking with your baby about this topic. Do not throw out negative emotions, do not throw the whole truth on him at once, but do not delay the answer either, otherwise it will interest the child even more.
Step 3
First, just explain that it happens sometimes, that not all families have dads. For the first time, such an answer will be enough for the baby and he will calm down a little. But after a while, the child will be more interested in the father: why he is not, where is he now. Explaining to a child, talk about his dad neutrally, do not say how bad he is, and that he is to blame. Do not spoil the child's father image.
Step 4
In addition, do not invent a variety of stories for the baby, answer in simple words so as not to injure the child's psyche. Think about the fact that when he grows up, he will be your support and he will not at all like to know that you lied to him.
