20.07.2023 05:50

Before turning ten, every child should learn a few important things.

It is the parents who are responsible for sharing the necessary information with the boy or girl.

If mom and dad don't do this, their son or daughter may face serious difficulties in adolescence and adulthood.

So what should parents teach their child before he turns 10?

The Importance of a Daily Routine

It is necessary to explain to the child that a daily routine makes learning much easier.

The child must understand that he may not have time to do all his homework if he does not make a list of things to do in advance and does not calculate the time for completing them.

Every year, the student will have more and more tasks. Therefore, knowledge of the basics of time management will come in very handy.

You don't always have to repeat what others do

"I did it because everyone else did it." Strange excuse, isn't it?

But a child will often explain his behavior in exactly this way if you don’t make it clear to the child: there is no need to repeat after others.

Especially if we are talking about bad behavior and if the child is easily dared.

The ability to refuse

This point follows smoothly from the previous one: you need to be able to say “no” in time.

It is unlikely that you will be able to please and help everyone. A child should not always waste time and energy for the sake of others.

However, in some cases it is necessary to come to the aid of a friend or relative.

Don't be afraid of mistakes

He who does nothing makes no mistakes. Explain to your child that mistakes are not scary. The main thing is not to give up and strive to correct the mistake.

Don't be afraid of criticism

It is impossible to do everything perfectly. Therefore, the child will be criticized periodically.

Criticism shouldn't always be taken with hostility, especially if it's constructive.
