NOTE

WAYS OF INCULCATING GOOD HABITS AND CHARACTER TRAINING IN BRINGING UP CHILDREN                                            

  1. Set expectations

As a parent, it is okay to set expectations with your child. Explain to them that you would want them to achieve success in life and be a pro at whatever they want. Don’t overburden them, but do not forget to give a pat on their back whether they stand up to your expectations or not. Appreciate the fact that they tried. This way, you’ll motivate them constantly to do their best 

  1. Say no

Your child should know that when you say ‘No’ to something, it’s a final call! The last thing you need is your kid turning into an arrogant and ruthless personality who always gets away with their excuses. Remind them that you are in authority and you will be the one making decisions on their behalf till they grow older.

  1. Say yes

As much as saying ‘No’ matters, you must know when to say ‘Yes’ as well. If your child has to attend a birthday party, let them go ahead and actively participate, even if it means changes in the schedule. The little things that enhance your kid’s social skills are completely acceptable

  1. Be firm

Your kid may sometimes be caught for their inappropriate behavior and lack of responsibility; at such times, be firm and try to make them understand why they shouldn’t be behaving in such a way and what their actions could lead to. If your kid still continues to do the same, refuse to take a stand for them all the time. Let your child understand and experience the consequences post demonstrating wrong behavior 

  1. Be a role model

One of the best ways to develop good habits for kids is by setting good examples for yourself. Your child learns most of the things watching your everyday behavior and habits. Hence it becomes important for you to exhibit the best so that they imbibe the same 

  1. Appreciate their achievements

Appreciate your kid and respect them for their achievements, irrespective of how tiny they are. Remember that they’re soon going to be an adult, and this is the time you should start grooming them to be responsible and in control of their actions. This will help your child remember that good actions have positive results and attract appreciation.

Experts say

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that parents should give attention to their child’s positive behaviors by touching them at least 50 times a day (in a praiseful manner) gently and lovingly.

  1. Give them a treat

You can take them out for a treat at times in recognition of their good behavior. This is a great way to help your kid stay motivated for the next time. Take them out for a holiday and make them feel special and wanted.

  1. Let them speak

Make sure you give your child the right to their opinion. Allow them to speak their heart out on any situation and try to see things from their point of view. You can also ask for your child’s views in small matters concerning the house. That way, they are more likely to obey you and understand the reason behind your decisions, and will even value your opinion

  1. Love them

One of the best things you could do to develop good habits in children is to love them. Children tend to rely on their parents for everything. If you give them the right love and respect that they deserve, they will surely work out their way to stay happy with you and love you too! So be liberal while giving those tight cuddles and cute little kisses before bed. Your little one will feel loved
