Educating is one of the most difficult tasks we parents face. And, although there are no magic formulas, there are some key issues that we have to handle with ease. It's never too early to start educating you. These are the basic rules to get your child to grow up happy.
1. An example is worth a thousand sermons from a very young age children tend to imitate all our behaviors, good and bad We can take advantage of everyday customs -such as greeting, behaving at the table, respecting the rules when driving- so that they acquire correct habits and, little by little, take responsibilities.
2. Communication, dialogue, understanding the words, gestures, looks and expressions we use help us to know ourselves better and express everything we feel. That is why, even during pregnancy, you have to talk to the baby.
3. Limits and discipline, without threats you have to teach him to separate feelings from action. The rules must be clear and coherent and accompanied by logical explanations.
4.Let them experience even if they are wrong The best way for children to explore the world is to allow them to experience things themselves. And if they make mistakes, we have to be there to take care of them physically and emotionally, but with limits.
5. Do not compare or disqualify. You have to eliminate phrases like "learn from your brother", "When are you going to become as responsible as your cousin?" or "you are as whiny as that child in the park".
6. Share our experiences with other parents. It can be very useful to us. Thus, living a stage of rebellion of our child, something very frequent at certain ages, can cease to be a source of tremendous anguish and become, simply, a hard but temporary phase. Phrases like "don't worry, the same thing happened to my son" can help us relativize the "problems" and, therefore, make us feel better and act calmer.
7. We must acknowledge our mistakes. We have the right to be wrong and that doesn't mean we're bad parents. The important thing is to recognize mistakes and use them as a source of learning. A simple phrase like "forgive honey.
8. Reinforce the good things. It is proven that positive reinforcement gestures of affection, stimuli, rewards are more effective when it comes to educating than punishments. That is why we must always give him affective support and let him be the one who, according to his ability, solves the problems.
9. Don't pretend to be his friends. Although it is always advisable to foster a climate of closeness and trust, that does not mean that we should be their best friends.
10. They also have emotions. Sometimes we think that only we feel upset and that children have to be happy all day. But they also have concerns.
