No parent wants to see their child lying on the couch hugging a smartphone or TV remote control.
On the contrary, a child who spends days on end with books, textbooks or plays sports makes his parents proud.
In this article we will tell you how to raise children so that there is always a reason for joy and pride in them.
First, motivate your child.
Most often, uninitiated children grow up in families in which parents solve all the difficult problems for their children.
It doesn't matter whether you want to make their life easier or you're simply doing it because you can do the same task better and faster.
Do the opposite: load the child with activities as much as you can, don’t stop at just what he likes, encourage the emergence of new interests.
At the same time, do not focus on what did not work out. The main thing is the desire to move forward.
Secondly, be willing to help.
No, you don’t need to do your child’s homework or prompt them for an answer.
Help find a solution, do not judge for mistakes, try to support in any situation with action and advice.
Showcase your strengths and tell how you managed to get out of trouble and achieve success.
Third, read more
It is important to read yourself and read aloud to your children. If a child sees his or her father and mother with a book in their hands, and not in front of the TV or with a smartphone, then he or she will act like their parents.
The benefits of reading are obvious. It expands vocabulary, promotes thinking, imagination, develops speech and improves brain function.
Be sure to discuss literary works after readings, ask children to retell their favorite moments or criticize what they didn’t like.
These are the three simplest and most accessible methods of raising children, which contribute to the development of talent.
