The three-year crisis is a period during which a small child's behavior changes.
As the name suggests, the transition to a new stage in the baby's life occurs approximately when the child is 3 years old.
The child begins to realize himself as an individual, he develops a desire to express himself and be more independent.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of negative stuff in such aspirations.
Thus, the baby becomes more stubborn and disobedient. He increasingly expresses dissatisfaction with certain events in his life.
A child’s desire to disobey parents can manifest itself in the form of actions “the opposite” - to spite mom and dad.
How parents should act during their child's "three-year crisis"
The first and perhaps most important rule is as follows: “You don’t need to yell at your child, constantly punish him, or become more strict.”
Serious disciplinary measures are unlikely to produce a positive result. Rather, the opposite: the child will become even more disobedient.
Talk calmly to your child. Try to understand him.
The second rule: “Give your son or daughter the opportunity to be independent.”
In many cases, there is no need to interfere with the child: let him act as he sees fit and express his own opinion.
Of course, when following this recommendation, parents should know when to stop and remember safety rules: in some cases, they will have to interfere with their child's actions. And you should also pay attention to the following point.
The third rule: “You can’t forget about prohibitions.”
Make a specific list of rules for your child and explain why they cannot be broken. Talk about the possible consequences.
