The keys to cooperating with your child on a daily basis
Based on neuroscience research, positive education consists of applying recommendations for the development of one’s child based on respect and non-violence. Sometimes, between 1 and 3 years old, it is not easy to understand the reactions of your little one and to react as it should. While building his brain and his motor skills, he can cry, break or have fits without a rational explanation. Quite simply, because he doesn’t know how to deal with his emotions yet.
Your role, as a parent, will be to support him to help him express his feelings as well as possible and to reassure him, through the emotional security that you will bring him. This can go through the establishment of simple rules: do not hit, do not throw on the ground … But also through the verbalization of situations. Even if your toddler may not be able to understand everything, the tone of your voice allows him to understand the importance of information and to understand that we can express ourselves other than by screaming.
Stop the balance of power for family harmony
To prevent your relationship from building on a perpetual balance of power, it is important to establish dialogue. Your child is a whole being, able to understand your needs. Authority, inherited from earlier educational schemes, is not necessarily the appropriate response to changing the behaviors of toddlers. And that differs from laxity. But be aware that the systematic threat of punishment breeds fear and blackmail – “If you don’t obey me, no dessert” – muddies the reaction. Better to encourage your child to change his habits than to force him to do so. It will only grow more serenely!
Taking care of yourself to be a better parent
Maintaining family harmony at home is also agree to take time for yourself. Whether alone or in pairs, these well-deserved breaks will allow you to recharge your batteries and adopt a zen behavior with your child. Because respecting his own well-being is a way of respecting his little one and showing him that you are as important as him!
Raise her child, show her the way
At each stage of their development, children build themselves up through the mirror effect. This is why it is doubly important to ensure their well-being by avoiding yelling and punishments that they might consider as the norm in their own relational functioning. Corn raising your child also means respecting their tastes, without imposing those of his parents, cultivate lightness and accept to be imperfect. Because everyone has the right to make mistakes!
