To be a good parent, it is not enough to provide a child with everything he needs: food, drink, shelter, clothing, toys, medicine. It is not enough to educate him. It is important to educate him correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn the basics of child psychology. To do this, acquire the appropriate literature, find educational films, or search for information on the Internet. Knowing how a child's psyche works will help you understand what your child needs.
Step 2
Give your child not only love, but also respect. It is very important for him to feel that he is reckoned with, that he is a man, albeit a small one.
Step 3
Don't blindly and unconditionally trust parenting methods suggested by other parents or teachers. Remember that your child is unique and should be approached differently. There is no one-size-fits-all system for raising the perfect child. There are only basic, immutable truths, the rest you have to grope for yourself.
Step 4
Teach your child to be independent. If he is already at that age to choose his clothes, let him do it. Gradually teach him to look after himself, cook and keep clean.
Step 5
Try not to interfere with his peer relationships. The only exceptions are extreme cases: when you see that the child is suffering from something or feel that he has come under a negative influence.
Step 6
Forget about double standards. If you teach your child to be polite, do not swear in front of him. If you want him to clean up by himself, do not leave the dishes unwashed and the bed unmade. Whatever you ask of the child, you must do it yourself.
Step 7
Take care of your baby's health. Monitor his diet and teach him healthy food from childhood. It is also important that the child is physically active. Make daily exercises a must on his schedule.
Step 8
Monitor your child's self-esteem. Do not be teased and make him feel worse than others. Explain to your child that all people are different, and teach them how to verbally fight offenders. Try to dress him well, this is a very important factor influencing the popularity in children's society.
Step 9
Take care of your child's development. School education is not enough to be successful. Let your little one attend the sports section, art or music school. Be sure to ask what he wants to do himself, and do not force the child to do a promising, from your point of view, business.
Step 10
Teach your child to express their feelings. Emotions, especially negative ones, require an exit. Talk to your baby, when you see that something is wrong with him, let him talk.
