When raising children, you need to stay calm. Even in cases when the kids are clearly behaving badly.
"Breakdowns" are unacceptable. Some children are afraid of an overly emotional reaction from mom and dad, others get used to parental shouting and become completely uncontrollable.
It would seem that in many “educational” situations it is impossible to do without raising your voice.
In fact, it is quite possible to achieve the desired result. It is enough to follow three simple rules - and mom and dad will remain calm even in the most difficult circumstances.
Children are more willing to obey their parents if they do not shout and demonstrate self-confidence.
Correctly "shift" emotions
It is important to understand that yelling at a child in most cases is a release of “accumulated” emotions.
In other words, the parent is not so much dissatisfied with the child's behavior as tired of a large number of problems in various areas of life. It's just that the child's action was the last straw.
You need to learn to redirect your emotions so as not to harm your child. Want to yell at your child? Immediately remember what it is connected with and postpone the "breakdown" for a later date.
You can release your emotions by playing sports or choosing some other type of physical activity.
Don't demand that you be the perfect parent.
Everyone has the right to make mistakes. Even mom and dad.
You need to set yourself up for this. And if you are a perfectionist in raising children, then a "breakdown" is inevitable.
