It can be very difficult to please a child. As soon as a baby learns to speak, the word "no" or other forms expressing it will immediately appear in his vocabulary.
Parents try, but hear the same thing in response. And now patience is running out, there are no options, and it begins to seem that the child himself does not know what he wants.
According to experts, parents themselves are to blame for offering children several options to choose from. In reality, the choice should be limited.
The child does not know what he wants
1. Let the child choose what he likes more. For example, a cutlet or fish, going outside or reading a book, and so on.
Rest assured that instead of whims and a flirtatious “no” or “I don’t know,” the child will quickly agree to one of the proposed options.
2. Another option is to distract attention. As soon as there are hints of a whim, immediately change the subject and start joking, singing, etc.
But not to entertain, but to demonstrate your good mood, which you can always share with others.
The child will immediately switch over, maybe even start repeating after his parents, and then it will be possible to come to an agreement with him.
3. Another way is not to beg the child, but to ask for help. Children like it when their work or participation in a common cause is appreciated by others.
It is also important to avoid the word “no” in communication, which has an irritating effect even on adults.
