Each person has many habits, most of which come from childhood. When raising children, you need to try to form the maximum number of good habits, because those that are dictated by the environment outside the family may not always be useful in adulthood.
Politeness
Good manners, the use of the words "thank you" and "please", and benevolent behavior not only simplify the relationship of strangers, but also brighten any conversation, and in some situations help open doors that seem to be firmly locked at first glance.
Ability to say no
The word "no" should not be dominant in the child's vocabulary, but it is necessary in some situations. It should be told to a stranger who offers to go with him, or a classmate who borrows things and does not return them, a peer who offers to indulge in illegal drinks or drugs. The word "no" is necessary for your own safety, and in some cases, to respect your personal time.
Hygiene
A neat person is always perceived positively, so a child from childhood should take it into the habit of taking care of the cleanliness of his body. This will have a positive effect not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also in terms of health, for example, regular oral care will save you from unpleasant visits to the dentist.
Punctuality
People who are regularly late for appointments or dates cause the most irritability among those around them. It all starts with being late for lessons, and later turns into chronic delays, which can negatively affect not only relationships, but also a career. You need to work with children from childhood, developing the habit of always arriving on time.
Safety regulations
Many habits need to be developed before they become automatic in very early childhood. Later, this will save you from many troubles, including from crossing the road to a red light, careless handling of fire, or using hazardous devices without observing safety rules.
Listening skills
This skill is required at school to perceive information, at work, to negotiate or interview, in interpersonal relationships, so that everyone has the opportunity to speak out and have constructive conversations and dialogues.
Ability to apologize and admit your mistakes
Many mistakes are not something shameful, but just oversights that anyone can make. The child should not feel ashamed, but he should apologize. This also applies to those cases when the child accidentally pushed someone, and situations when he hurt or offended without malicious intent. The ability to ask for forgiveness not only builds relationships, but also helps to take the burden off the soul if in some situation it turns out to be wrong.
Reading
In any situation, reading will help brighten up the time. High-quality literature will broaden your horizons, make your speech literate. A book in the hands of a child can make life much richer and more interesting.
These are just some of the good habits that will make the life of a child (and then an adult) much easier. All your habits, which you think are correct, must be instilled in the child.
