Sometimes parents are forced to deal with their child's outright disobedience.
If you also find yourself in a similar situation, perhaps you will find useful the 5 basic rules that psychologists advise to follow when raising and building communication with a child.
Explain any prohibition you make.
If, for example, you don't want your son or daughter to watch a particular cartoon, explain the reason for the ban to them in a friendly and child-friendly manner. But that's not all - your job as a parent is to offer an alternative.
Take action and talk immediately after the misbehavior occurs.
After some time, even if not very long, the child most likely will not remember what happened and, accordingly, will not understand your moralizing.
It is equally important to scold and praise a child
Try to stick to the golden mean in raising a child. This means that for every remark it is worth finding praise.
Adults should follow the rules too
Parents and other adults should follow the same rules they set for children.
Be a friend to your child
Make every effort to become your child's friend without losing your authority in his eyes.
