12.06.2024 05:50
Every woman who is a mother of a boy dreams of making her son a happy person.
Yes, it is very difficult to achieve such a result.
And there are many circumstances that the child’s mother is unlikely to be able to influence.
And yet a woman can do a lot.
If a father must teach his son to be brave, decisive, skillful and purposeful, then a mother’s task is to provide the boy with love and care, but not to overdo it.
So, what contribution can a mother make to her son's future happiness?
Stop being overprotective
Yes, the mother wants to provide the baby with complete protection.
But you shouldn’t control your son’s every action: he should have partial freedom of action.
Overprotection will make the boy indecisive and fearful. And with such character traits, a person is unlikely to become happy.
Give up unnecessary emotions
In some situations, women find it difficult to hold back tears and screams.
And yet, the boy’s mother must be able to control herself.
There is no need for unnecessary emotions. Even in those moments when your son has done something wrong.
Mom's tears may make the boy less self-confident. He will be afraid of doing something wrong ("What if Mommy cries again!").
Know how to apologize
Did you cry in front of your child? Did you yell at your son, even though he didn't deserve such a reaction from you?
Be sure to ask the boy for forgiveness for such behavior! This approach will strengthen your relationship with the baby.
In addition, the son will learn to admit his mistakes himself. And such a skill is very important for any person!
Earlier we listed questions that you should not ask your child.
