It is not always easy and peaceful in a home where there is a child. But this is where happiness lives. And to get out of seemingly difficult situations without problems, have patience and a sense of humor. To help loving parents, our life-saving lifehacks:
- If a child complains about something
In such a situation, do not scold or lecture, but calmly ask what he/she really wants from you - to help solve a problem, to listen or to give advice. You won't believe it, but it is often important for children to share with you and be listened to.
- For a family with more than one child
Distribute the days of the week among the children. And when they ask for something (first to play on the tablet, to take a bath), don't expect offense, but ask immediately, "Whose day is it today?" This way you can avoid many fights between children.
- When you want your child to read a book (magazine)
Tell your daughter and son not to touch this magazine/book, because it is not allowed to be read yet. And "forbidden fruit" is known to be very sweet
- If a child refuses to get up early in the morning
A prank can help in this situation. Invite the children to prank mom/dad. Tell them that for the prank they need to get up, get dressed and lie under the blanket again, pretending to be asleep. And when the parent comes to wake up, let him suddenly jump out from under the blanket and surprise him. Be sure - your child will love this idea!
Also, in a difficult situation, say: "I bet you don't know how to...clean up after your toys, brush your teeth, put your things away neatly". You will see that children will gladly show you that they can do all this without the help of mom and dad.
It is possible for all parents to build a relationship with their child and raise them without yelling and punishment. No matter how busy you are, put all your activities aside and pay attention to your children when they ask for it.
