We all want our little ones to only imitate positive attitudes about us, but unfortunately, they copy everything.
The little ones are like sponges that absorb everything, the good and the bad. They watch everything we do, even if we don’t realize it. So they are not only sponges, but they are also mirrors, our mirrors. They imitate our actions and uncensored words because they have learned to observe and listen to us all the time. And in the end, with them, we can also realize our mistakes. We give you several examples of attitudes or ways of thinking that we transmit to them without realizing it. Take note!
Accept defects
We all have them and it is better to accept ourselves as we are. When our children see us loving us and accepting our imperfections, they will also accept themselves and have better self-esteem.
The way we treat others
They learn how to interact with others by seeing what we do. So if you are a warm, generous, loving, critical, unpleasant, abusive, distant or rude person, they will follow in your footsteps.
Be optimistic or pessimistic
If we can have a positive attitude towards any problem, they will face theirs in the same way.
To play
Of course, all children know how to play, but to do it with respect, with empathy and with tranquility, they also learn it when they play with us.
To understand the limits and to respect them
If we demand from them but we do not do the same, for them it is contradictory, we must educate them knowing that what we ask of them is because we are going to do it.
To be himself
Not showing anything, being transparent and honest are things that they also learn by seeing that we are always the same with whom we are, no matter if they are friends, family or people from work.
