Greetings to steemworld!

Introduction

The Holy book teaches parents to teach children to choose the right path, so that when they're older, they will remain with those values.

Have you ever wondered why some children are very stubborn and don't heed to choices? Just maybe we're not doing it the right way;

I will be sharing with you some parenting tips I have learned and have been seeing how they're giving me positive impacts.

Rules and consequences are a big part of structure within a home. Your children should know exactly what is expected of them and what happens if they choose to go against it. Give your child age appropriate choices, it teaches responsibility and helps your child learn how to make good decisions.

Parents sometimes make these two mistakes when offering choices.

Some Constantly tell their children what to do and how to behave, which denies them the opportunity to learn how to think for themselves, and often results in power struggles and rebellion.

Some parents guidance are insufficient, as this Allow their children make decisions without the skills equip for them necessary to succeed.

As children they have natural need to control their world and actions.So why not give them control in a constructive way?
Allowing your children take part in the decision-making process helps them feel empowered and shows respect for their abilities and talents.

The kids can play silly sometimes 😂

I always tell my friends that, all children have positive strengths so we should rather focus on this aspect by allowing them make age-appropriate choices. Try it and trust me it foster cooperation and definitely build your child's self esteem in a good way.

Clearly define your expectations, let your child know the tasks they are supposed to complete and also discuss the consequences for not completing them.

For example: you can only watch TV for 2hours after you have done your chores and taken a nap. In my home, I don't yell ? when my kids seem not to want to take their nap, I just remind them of the consequence, no nap means no tv, and they know I will follow through with it.

Conclusion

I used to scream, shout but I'm happy I'm learning and becoming better in raising rooted kids because it's all start by teaching to them and taking them rather than shouting.
Thank you for reading!

Do you have any defined rules and consequences in your home?
