Sometimes children demand from their parents what they, frankly speaking, do not deserve. Instead of arguments, children resort to tears and whims.
Only an experienced and talented parent can come to an agreement with a capricious child. But this is only at first glance.
Experts have named several clever techniques that will help to “hush up” a conflict and reach an agreement without tears and hysterics.
Personal example
There should be an atmosphere in the family in which spouses and other family members take promises and responsibilities seriously.
This will help develop similar behavior in the child, and even in the case of a whim, finding an approach will not be so difficult.
Be understanding
Instead of taking a belt and changing the tone of your voice to an overt threat, be understanding of your child's tears.
If a child feels that his parents care about his problem, he will calm down faster and it will be easier to agree on a mutually beneficial solution.
Alternative
There should always be a choice. But it is not necessarily a choice between the carrot and the stick. If the child does not want to eat porridge, offer him to cook something himself.
The same with clothes - offer to choose an outfit yourself. But do not weaken control, advise, prompt.
Tell us about the consequences
The consequences can also be different. There is no need to scare that if the child does not obey, then he will be deprived of all pleasures.
Help your child become responsible. For example, until he puts away his toys, can't watch cartoons, and so on.
And at the end, don’t forget to praise and remember that all children are individuals and each one needs their own key.
Earlier we talked about what strict discipline in the family leads to.
