02.07.2024 05:50
Any boy's mom and dad probably dream that their son will grow up to be a strong-willed, unwavering, courageous and determined person.
However, it is quite difficult to ensure that a child develops the qualities of a real man.
You need to raise a boy properly.
Overprotection is a bad decision. So is overly strict parenting.
So, what mistakes should you avoid when raising your son?
Ban on emotions
"Don't cry! You're a boy!" - parents often say when they see their son crying.
This is a wrong action. Mom and dad should understand that a boy has the same right to show emotions as a girl.
If parents try to make the baby emotionless, he will acquire other personal qualities: distrust, secrecy, insincerity. These character traits will hinder him in life.
Overprotectiveness
A boy is unlikely to become a real man if his parents protect him from everything.
Give your child at least partial freedom of action: let him gain life experience.
Excessive strictness
It is also not worth rushing to the other extreme. Strictness in upbringing, contrary to popular belief, does not make a boy more courageous and strong-willed.
On the contrary, the child may become fearful and indecisive.
Earlier we talked about the “three-minute rule,” which, if followed, will help make your child happy.
