How to Raise a Disciplined Child and Infringe on His Rights: Advice for Parents

There were times when there was no need to talk about children's rights. Not because they did not exist, but because it was generally accepted that the most important thing was obedience.

But it turns out that a parent’s desire to raise a disciplined child can give rise to a whole host of complexes.

Experts told what parents should do in such a situation and how to instill in children the concept of self-discipline.

Set the rules

The most important thing is to make it clear what can and cannot be done. Knowledge should be preserved on an intuitive level and perceived not as a limitation, but as care.

How to achieve this

1. For a child to accept these rules, there should not be many prohibitions and restrictions.
A parent should not abuse their authority and maintain order based on just “you can’t” or “you have to.”

2. The child must grow and develop, he needs somewhere to splash out the accumulated energy. Excessively strict rules can hinder this.

But he must understand that he can play with a ball outside, read and eat while sitting at the table, etc.

3. The most important thing is that the rules established in the family must be followed by everyone. If one of the parents or grandparents turns a blind eye to violations, nothing will come of it.

Then, instead of a disciplined child, you can raise a cunning manipulator.

And lastly, the child must understand that the rules established in the family are not a punishment, but rather traditions.
