Guiding
the child in a right way is one
of the most challenging tasks of one’s life. However, it is also a pleasurable
thing that you’ll ever do.
Child
guidance becomes very easy for those who have natural ability to work with
children, but others find it more difficult.
No matter
how the child guidance is for you, here are some ideas to help improve your way
of guiding your child. It also helps turn your child in the way you want them
to.
The way the
child thinks affects their behavior. So, identify their way of thinking so that
you can be more successful in improving their behavior.
In order to change your child’s behavior, it is most essential to avoid words such as “don’t,” “never,”
“stop,” and other related words. Instead, replace these words with “do,” “go
ahead.” By changing your attitude towards the child will show you a better way
of behavior in your child.
In addition
to these, explain your child about what is right and what is wrong. Also,
explain the consequences of doing that particular thing. This helps the child
to understand and behave in an improved way.
Try to be affectionate towards your child although you don’t like the way your child behaves. Moreover,
spend most of your free time with the child and have fun together. With these
positive moments, you can make your child guidance even more successful.
Even try to build feelings of self confidence in your child by encouraging in doing their favorite things
although it is impossible for him/her. Avoiding the child from doing things can
increase negative feelings and can result in low self confidence.
Instead of ordering your child to do certain task, give freedom to your child in doing things in
which he/she is interested. On the other hand, if you are unsatisfied with the
decision, give him/her a choice that you can accept.
Remember
that children should learn to take right decisions. So, it is essential to give
them choice to decide the perfect one. Also, try to accept their decision.
When you
don’t support your child’s behavior, it is always good to determine the cause
of the behavior instead of scolding the child. In some cases, you can solve the
problem by simply changing the environment.
For
example, if you don’t like your child to play outside (on the road), provide
your child with lots of toys where he/she ignores to go out and play.
The needs of your child will change according to the age and stages of development. You
can avoid their needs by working with their natural tendency instead of going
against them. So, in some cases, child guidance requires more patience.
In addition
to all these, try to set limits for your child. Limits allow your child to take
decisions within given boundaries. Remember that too many limits can curtail
your child from making decisions.
Instead of
applying your own thoughts, try to listen to your child. This helps get you
more ideas regarding child guidance.
