Every parent wants their child to grow up to be an adult and independent person who can express and defend his opinion.
But for this to really be the case, it is important to instill the right attitudes even during the process of raising a child.
Be on equal terms
It is necessary to learn to see the personality in the child. It is important to respect his opinion, ideas. Periodically, you need to be interested in what he thinks about different issues and situations.
When parents constantly criticize and judge a child's words and ideas, he or she may simply stop sharing them.
As a result, a person will grow up who will think that no one cares about his opinion.
Ask for reasons for an opinion or answer.
This will help the child to reason, defend his position and be able to argue it.
In addition, this way he will be able to gain an understanding of his own value. At the same time, moms and dads should not give the child ready-made answers and solutions.
Discuss movies and books
It is necessary for the child to learn to reason, fantasize and imagine different situations. A simple discussion of films, life situations and books will help with this.
For example, you might ask why a cartoon character behaves in a certain way and makes the decisions he or she does.
Work with speech
A person who can clearly and competently express his thoughts feels much more confident. His opinion is more often listened to.
If a child has poor speech, he gets lost in public, then it will be much more difficult for him to defend his opinion.
