Obedient child: four rules of upbringing

An exemplary child is the dream of parents. In an effort to obtain the desired result, adults often resort to punishments, blackmail and flattery. But these methods, for all their apparent effectiveness, can aggravate the situation as a whole. Child psychologists offer four axioms for proper interaction with their own child.

Goodwill and a sense of intimacy is an important argument in the fight against disobedience. Ignoring and alienation can cause a child panic, anger and confusion, provoking a worsening of behavior.

Orders are usually doomed to failure. Instead of hard and categorical shouting it is worth trying unusual questions - those that can distract the child from whims.

Sharp judgment is a short-sighted choice. It is much more reasonable to understand together with the child the reasons and hidden motives of his behavior. Sometimes good impulses are at the heart of impulsive reactions, which the kid can not express properly.

Do not get the child to "blind" obedience. Unthinking obedience forms dependence, fear of initiative, a distorted system of internal principles and an underestimated self-esteem.
