Love is an inexplicable feeling, which scientists have been struggling to solve for many years. Those who have experienced these emotions differ in their definitions. However, if your child has reached the age of "why", you will have to explain to him what love is.
Instructions
Step 1
From infancy, tell your child that you love him. The baby needs love and affection from parents like air. They help him develop, feel welcome and protected in this world. From childhood, a child will hear the word "love", and he will already have certain ideas about this feeling.
Step 2
For many children living in complete families, their parents are the standard of love. Explain love to your child by your example, choosing such descriptions that the little man will understand. Dad loves mom, so he buys her flowers to please her. Mom prepares dinner for Dad because she takes care of him. Sometimes parents go to a movie or a restaurant together because they enjoy being together. And the most important proof is that mom and dad love each other so much that they have a child.
Step 3
The child himself experiences a feeling of love, he just does not yet realize it. Tell your toddler that it’s like the joy he gets when dad comes home from work in the evening, the happiness of going to the park with his parents, and the fun of playing together. Such examples will be accessible and understandable for the child.
Step 4
At three or four years old, children begin their first kindergarten crush. Take your baby's feelings seriously, and do not get lost if you are overwhelmed by his choice. After all, your child may declare that he is going to marry both a girl from his group and a teacher. Offer your son options for acceptable behavior: for example, he can pick a bouquet of flowers for the lady of the heart on the way to the kindergarten or protect her from the boys. In the case of the teacher, you can inform the failed groom that his beloved is already married, which prevents the development of their further relationship.
Step 5
Good cartoons teach children to be reasonable, kind, eternal. Look together with your child "Carlson, who's belly on the roof." In one of the episodes, when the Kid sat on a visit on the roof of his friend, and the parents began to worry, the Kid's mother claims that she loves her son and will not sell him even for one hundred thousand million. This response gives the child an idea of the strength of this feeling.
