In the process of raising children, one must remember the global goal - each new generation in the family should be better than the previous one.
Elena Katsyuba, psychologist and psychosomatologist, told us how to properly raise a child.
In this case, the race evolves. If your children are like you or even worse than you, then your race begins to degrade and eventually disappears.
Thus, the main goal of parents is to raise people better than themselves. But how to do this - there is no clear answer to this question, because each family has its own evolutionary history, and its own problems that must be solved on the way to improving the family.
But there are general rules that allow you to raise a more "survival" type of person. Let's look at them in more detail.
In order for a child to grow up harmonious, he must first of all be simply loved. The phrase "I am always for you" should be the motto of parents, so that the child understands that he will be supported and protected in any situation, will not be humiliated or scolded for misdeeds in front of everyone, but the issue will be resolved in a calm conversation at home.
There is no need to enroll a child in many sections, but it is necessary to instill a culture of sports. This is especially relevant for modern children who spend a lot of time at the computer. Poor health and poor physical skills will not allow them to grow up to be a competitive person.
In today's conditions, when we are drowning in a stream of information, the ability to filter data becomes an important skill for survival and further development.
If you teach your child not to consume all the content he encounters in a row, but to clearly navigate where it is useful and where it is unnecessary, where the truth is and where it is a lie, then this will be his strongest skill. This ability will help him to independently learn and develop in the areas that interest him.
I can only teach my child what I know and can do myself – that’s obvious. If I can’t say “no” to violating personal boundaries, then I won’t teach my child to say “no” either. If I constantly feel guilty in front of everyone, my child will most likely suffer from this too.
What to do? Work on yourself and your "crooked" strategies. Subconsciously, many parents after the birth of children begin to dig into themselves, identify weaknesses and change.
In such cases, the chances of survival, success and take-off of their children in this life increase many times over.
