Parents can do this
Create a harmonious family atmosphere
A good relationship between husband and wife will allow children to better learn the strengths of their parents, feel a stable and safe family atmosphere, and improve their confidence in facing problems. The harmonious relationship between parents also has a positive impact on the child to establish his own interpersonal relationships, especially the future intimate relationship, which helps to improve the happiness index of the child's future life.
Listen to your child
The family should be the place where the child speaks from the heart, parents often chat with the child, leave more opportunities to speak to the child, let the child open his heart, express himself freely, and do not make too much judgment. In particular, fathers should have a useful exchange of ideas with their children, and they should not be absent from their children's growth because they are busy. When children speak, parents listen to the most beautiful and warm.
Tolerance and restraint are important
Parents should treat their children equally, and give them the necessary restraints while tolerating them. Excessive tolerance leads to coddling, and excessive strictness undermines the parent-child relationship. The child's happy personality will not be cultivated in the reprimand, tolerance of the child and the restraint of the child's bad behavior is not contradictory, laying the foundation for the child's happy happiness starts from encouragement and praise.
There are ways to encourage praise
Children's self-esteem is often very strong, if parents only because the child has achieved good results and praise the child, will make the child feel that achieving good results is a good child, and good results are often not completely controllable by the child's efforts, so the child will be more likely to be uneasy. If parents can see their child's efforts and praise him for the process of doing things, they will often make the children more motivated to continue to work hard.
Get close to nature and integrate into social life
Family education should encourage children to contact nature and society. After school, let children stretch their bodies and minds in an open space, and let children bask in the sun under the blue sky and on the grass on the rest day, close to nature. Encourage children to participate in social welfare activities, cultivate children's behavior and love for others, experience different school roles, family roles, social roles, and experience the colorful life, which is conducive to cultivating children's perfect personality.
