04.11.2024 08:52
Do you want your child to trust you as much as possible?
Then try to make friends with the baby.
It turns out that combining the role of a parent with the status of a friend is quite possible.
To do this, it is enough to follow three simple rules.
Give the right to choose
No, it is not about giving your son or daughter complete freedom of action.
It is impossible to abandon absolutely all restrictions. But it is quite acceptable to make concessions in some moments.
Thus, you can give your child freedom in choosing clothes or how to spend his free time.
After this, the baby will begin to see mom and dad not only as parents, but also as friends.
Take your baby's concerns seriously
Many parents make a grave mistake: they perceive children's problems as insignificant.
Moms and dads think something like this: “He didn’t draw well… Big deal…”
But it is important to understand that the difficulties that a child faces are perceived by him as very serious.
Try to put yourself in your baby's shoes and understand his feelings.
Listen to your child, sympathize with him, do not mention the “frivolity” of his problems.
Spend more time together
And, of course, you won’t be able to make friends with your child if you don’t spend time together.
Go with your baby to the cinema, parks and playgrounds, watch cartoons with him, cook sweets together, etc.
