Being a parent is a huge responsibility. According to statistics, more than 80% of children, having grown up, adhere to the same habits that existed in the family. If mom and dad want to bring up positive qualities in a child, you need to look at yourself and make sure that these traits are inherent in the parents themselves. We always need to start with ourselves! We bring to your attention the top 10 things that you can not do with children.Photo: Getty Images
Ban number 1: you can not violate safety rules
Let's start with the traffic rules.Never cross the road on a red light in front of your child (or at all!) Most often, parents, running across the road with their child in the wrong place or without waiting for the green light, justify themselves like this: “You can’t cross on a red light, but we’re in a hurry now. I looked carefully at the road, there are no cars nearby.” That’s it! The clear line of prohibition has been erased. Rest assured that your child will now do the same. The same applies to other safety rules: handling electrical appliances, stoves, gas, sockets, hot water.
Ban number 2: you can not lie
There shouldn't be even the smallest lie.Children are very attentive, they notice everything, remember and draw conclusions. For example, mom or dad asked to answer on the phone that they are not at home - it would seem, well, what's the big deal: no mood or no time to talk to anyone. But at this moment you show the child that lying is not so bad. Or, for example, dad "did something" and agrees with his son or daughter: "Let's not tell mom!" And then the kid understood that it is possible to hide something from parents.Photo: Getty Images
Ban number 3: you can not drink and smoke
No amount of persuasion will make a young man or womanquit smoking if smoking was the norm in his/her family. Since childhood, looking at beloved parents, the child has learned that there is nothing wrong with smoking, since the closest and most beloved people do not deny themselves a cigarette. Therefore, if you want to avoid problems with bad habits in your child - do not show him/her a bad example.
Ban number 4: you can not threaten
"I'll leave you here now if you..." "II'm leaving if you..." "If you do that again, I'll give you what for!.." With such phrases, we provoke fear in the child and teach him to manipulate. Threats are completely useless - they do not improve behavior. Always give children confidence that their mother will be there, that they are loved. Never tell them that you will leave them. Do not use this technique to achieve your goal.Photo: iStock/Gettyimages.ru
Ban number 5: you can not use obscene words
Words that burst from the heart, words of habitvery often become children's habits. Here's a dad who dropped a heavy object on the floor and cursed through his teeth. Here's a mom who's sorting things out with a neighbor and not skimping on expressions. Here's a friend who's telling a joke, not taking into account the fact that a child is standing nearby. But the child so wants to be like his mother, his father, and even this uncle, because they are adults. And he remembers and repeats the words he heard. It will be much more difficult to wean the child off the bad habit and explain why such words cannot be used than to simply make it a rule to watch your speech.
