So, what kind of rules should be followed when raising children? Here are the golden rules:
You should spend quality time with your child.
Being in the same environment with your child does not mean spending time with him. You should spend quality time and spend time together with games or activities that will contribute to his happiness and development. When you treat him like an adult, he will share his thoughts with you and he will not need to hide anything from you. You have to value their opinions so that they don't get disappointed.
Build your child's character on solid foundations
In general, parents, unfortunately, are persistent in treating their children as children, no matter how old they are. Just as you should respect their choices, it is right not to keep them under your control. You have to let him make his own decisions. The fact that you make his life easier by always being by his side in his struggle with difficulties prevents him from developing his warrior spirit, causing him to become a fragile and quick-to-give person.
Give your child tasks and responsibilities
When children are given a task or a responsibility, they feel a desire to succeed. But the result may not always be positive. You should emphasize that his failure is also a teaching so that he can learn from his mistakes. Learning to spend time and effort on that subject by allowing him to experiment will teach him to be strong against the difficulties that come his way.
Do not spoil your child
Exhibiting the behavior of covering up all your child's misbehaviors will cause him to be spoiled for doing whatever he wants. It is extremely important for his education that you apply a method of punishment for some of his mistakes. Do not try to justify your children by always being there for their mistakes in social life. You should objectively evaluate the event, explain where and how he should act, what the truth is if he has made an injustice or an inappropriate approach, calmly and without judgment, what the consequences can be.
Do not make exaggerated expectations of your child
Having high expectations of your child will keep him under pressure. It will make an effort to meet your expectations and it will take a place in the subconscious and cause this feeling to be carried for life. He will always carry the burden of proving himself to you. However, he may have dreams of his own. Being with him in realizing this will support him to be happier and more successful in life.
