Very often you can hear complaints like this from moms and dads: “the baby doesn’t listen”, “the son refuses to fulfill requests”, “the daughter constantly conflicts with me”.
Many people are afraid of becoming irresponsible parents.
And there is nothing surprising in such fear: if the mother and father lose authority in the eyes of the child, then the latter will take control of the family.
Don't want your baby to become capricious and disobedient? When you ask your child to do something, don't be afraid that your son or daughter will get angry.
There is one simple recommendation, the constant observance of which allows you to become an authoritative parent.
How Authoritative Parents Behave
You need to act in the following way: when giving your child a task (for example, to tidy up the room, wash the dishes, start doing homework), you need to speak confidently. The child should not feel your indecisiveness.
Does your child refuse to do what you asked or simply ignore you? Don't give in and don't leave!
But do not shout at the baby, do not threaten him or punish him. There is no need to argue either.
Just wait until the child does what is asked of him. If necessary, contact the child again.
The child is more likely to comply with the request once he or she understands that the parent is standing his or her ground and remaining calm.
There is no need to "thank" the child too much for the work done. It is enough to say the following: "Good." And show a smile.
