The dream of all parents is that their child grows up smart, kind, caring, independent and successful. And for this you need to try very hard, because children are not born like that, but they become.
Instructions
Step 1
Never humiliate a child.
There are parents who, in a fit of anger, exclaim: "Well, what kind of child are you so stupid?" or "well, you're stupid!" Such words not only humiliate the child, but also turn him against you. He will obey you only out of fear of punishment, but he will cease to respect you.
Step 2
Never threaten a child.
By resorting to threats, you fall in the eyes of the baby. He will think that you cannot deal with him in other ways. As soon as the child grows up, you will not be able to control him, he will do everything against your will, and purposefully.
Look for humane and sensible parenting methods. Talk to your child more, try to understand him. He needs to trust you.
Step 3
Don't bribe your child.
Many parents make a huge mistake when they pay money to their children for a good grade, for caring for loved ones, for helping around the house, and so on. Such a child will really do something, but only because he will be paid. And if you don't pay?
Step 4
No need to take promises from a small child.
Small children live only in the present, and you can ask him to do something or not to do something only at the moment, but not in the future - for a baby this is simply an impossible task. He will not be able to fulfill the promise, and then the word "promise" will have no value for him.
Step 5
You don't need to patronize the child too much.
Excessive parental care can undermine a child's pride and develop a lot of complexes. Never say: "You are not capable of this," "You are not capable of this," and so on. If you say this constantly, the child will believe in it and really will not be able to solve any problem on his own.
Step 6
Never dismiss childish questions.
Most of the questions that children ask seem like complete nonsense to parents, and they simply do not answer them. The child becomes very offended that the closest people do not care about his problems and interests. Sometimes these children withdraw into themselves.
Step 7
Never demand complete obedience from a child.
You can't tell your child to do anything immediately. You need to give him time to finish his business. If you want to educate a free person capable of self-discipline and decision-making, give up command-executive education.
Step 8
Know how to say no to your child.
A child cannot be prohibited from everything, but also everything cannot be allowed. Try to find a middle ground, and your parent's heart will tell you how to do this. After all, a lot depends not only on the child, but also on the situation.
Step 9
By adhering to the above recommendations, you can succeed and avoid failures in raising your child.
