Enter the rule: the baby removes toys in place by himself. Explain that this is his job – almost like mom and dad. As you get older, add responsibilities: make the bed, wash the dishes, clean the room. But do not demand absolute accuracy, do not find fault, otherwise you can grow up a pedant obsessed with trifles.

4 years: the ability to lose

Does the kid feel defeat painfully, get angry and cry? As an adult, he will be afraid to make mistakes and make decisions. To prevent this from happening, it is important to explain in early childhood: there is nothing terrible in losing, it happens to everyone, even to you. Try to analyze together what exactly did not work out and what you can do so that next time you will certainly win.

Kids actively explore the world, move a lot, it is difficult for them to concentrate on one thing. Therefore, it is useful to offer children activities that require perseverance. Collect puzzles, constructors, mosaics together. Sculpt, draw, weave from beads, read. The main thing is that the business is to your liking. Teach your child to immerse himself in any game with his head: discuss the heroes of books, fantasize over drawings, come up with stories, new patterns for embroidery. And, importantly, always follow through on what you started, set an example.

When parents fulfill any whim of the baby, he instantly gets used to easily getting what he wants and may never learn to set goals and achieve them. Motivate your baby. For example, he wants an expensive toy, which means he has to learn something, for example, to memorize letters. Even if not everything worked out, but the child tried very hard, the dream must be fulfilled. The more effort was made, the greater the joy of the gift received.

Support your son or daughter in any endeavors, rejoice at even the smallest victory. But do it right: praise only for the cause. Do not suggest that he is the best and most special, otherwise you blind the egoist with high self-esteem. Don’t compare your child to other children. Trying to spur others’ successes, you provoke the opposite reaction: the baby will feel like a failure and may lose ground for life. And don’t give your son or daughter a sense of imminent failure. Let’s say a child is participating in a concert. To say before going on stage that he was poorly prepared is a mistake. After such words, preschool children will surely fail the performance.

Train your first grader to use the time correctly. Together, make up a daily routine: designate the period of classes, walks, rest, reading books. Design your schedule nicely and hang it in a prominent place in the nursery. This will help you learn to do a lot and appreciate every hour.

Best of all, this quality develops taking care of a dog, cat, hamster, parrot. The pet needs to be fed, played with, walked, taken to the veterinarian. If you entrust these matters to a child, he will soon become independent and, over time, will learn to take a responsible attitude not only towards animals, but also towards work, family, and friends. In addition, taking care of his beloved pet, the baby begins to listen to other people’s requests, to be not indifferent. Encourage the child to visit grandparents, call them and ask about their health.
