Some parents believe it is necessary to force their child to perform this or that action.

Such mothers and fathers justify their behavior with the following phrase: “This will be better for the child himself.”

Sometimes you really can't do without prohibitions and instructions. But there are a few things that a child should not do under pressure.

Never force a child to do this.

To engage in one hobby or another

If your child doesn’t like drawing, playing music or sports, then you shouldn’t force him to attend the corresponding clubs and sections.

Don't think that you can reveal your child's talent by putting pressure on him. Your child should only attend those extracurricular activities that he likes.

Finish breakfast, lunch or dinner

If your baby doesn't want to eat anymore, don't force him to empty his plate.

Failure to follow this recommendation may result in serious health problems for the child.

Therefore, never say the phrase: “You’re not going anywhere until you finish eating!”

Go to bed

We are talking about cases when parents threaten their child to go to bed.

Of course, you can remind your child about the need to rest and about plans to get up early. But you shouldn't threaten.
