By setting rules and prohibitions for a child, parents make his life understandable, predictable and safe.
But if you forbid your child everything, nothing good will come of it.
We tell you how to correctly set boundaries for your child.
How to Properly Forbid a Child
If you constantly shout “no” at a child without explaining the reasons, he may grow up obedient, but he is unlikely to grow up independent.
The word "no" should only be used to indicate the strictest prohibitions. For example, those related to safety (don't stick your fingers into a socket).
In other cases, try to use restrictive conditions.
For example, if your child demands that you play with him immediately, don't say "no" but say that you'll finish your work in 15 minutes and then you'll play. Just be sure to keep your promise.
