Do you feel like your child is pushing you to the limit? Calm, it just means you are experiencing.
Even if your child is young, the best thing you can do to forbid or deny him something is to give him an explanation. Your child may not understand the reason for your anger or the rule, but the most important thing is that you have a good attitude when doing it.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR CHILD CHALLENGES YOU?
Your son does not need long sermons to understand that he is doing something that could hurt him, he requires you to explain to him in a simple way: “when you hit your little brother, it hurts and he gets sad, please don’t do it.”
- Give your best example. Your child acts according to what he observes at home, your example and the explanations must coincide. For example: do you want your child to understand that he shouldn’t hit when you hit him?
- Don’t let him do what he wants. Despite the fact that your child throws a great tantrum, you should not consent to everything.
- It is difficult, but try to be patient. Your child needs you to instill rules and values.
- Always with love. Whatever you do when correcting it, always do it with love.
- Don’t tag it. Never say phrases like “you’re bad” to your child, your child is forming an image of himself and he will believe everything you say. Be very careful with your words and above all, the nicknames or adjectives that you put on it.
- Do not doubt yourself. If your child perceives that your order is doubtful, he will avoid it. Be firm and make sure your child does what you ask.
- Don’t ban everything. Constant prohibitions limit your child and he will become rebellious.
- Distract it. If you don’t want your child to have something special, distract his attention, take him to another place, offer him a different option.
- Not everything is not. Take steps to avoid saying “NO” all the time, for example, remove everything that can break in your home…
- Say encouraging words. When your child does something right, congratulate him and so on with each of his advances. Show your honest pride and happiness without being over the top.
AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS:
- Shame, ridicule and blame because they will remain as a footprint that will haunt him for his entire life.
- Never tell him you are: “bad”, “silly”, “clumsy”, “useless”…
- Avoid anger that lasts more than a few minutes.
- Never make him feel like you “don’t want it.”
When it comes to disciplining your child, don’t punish his person, but his actions and keep in mind that you should always support his qualities.
