We are raising balanced children in an unbalanced world.
Parenting is one of the most complex jobs in this world. We have to raise our kids with boundaries, love and discipline.
The first step is to create a home environment where kids feel safe, loved, and happy. When we do that, we are more likely to get them to behave better. The key is to be consistent with our discipline in order for it to work.
We cannot expect our children to listen if we don’t take the time to listen to them first. The secret of good parenting or raising balanced children is listening and teaching at the same time.
Today’s world is filled with all sorts of sources of information, and the world of children is no exception. Parents have to make sure that the messages their children get are healthy, appropriate and inspiring.
Make sure your child understands who you are and what you think. This will help give your child a strong foundation as he goes through life. Talk to him about your values, discuss how important integrity is, and teach him how to deal with peer pressure.
You should be willing to listen, but also set clear limits for your kids. If they want something that they can’t afford, they shouldn’t expect you to buy it for them. Explain to them why you can’t afford it, even if they beg or complain.
Make sure you’re giving your child enough attention. Many parents today feel like they don’t have enough time for their kids and that their kids need more attention than ever before. Don’t let this be true in your case! Children need parents who spend time with them and truly listen when they talk about their feelings or needs.
Here are some tips or secrets to help you teach your child to be balanced:
Treat your children equally
1st I always tell my kids that they are equal. They do not get extra privileges because they are older or younger or because they are a boy or a girl.
2nd I believe in equal rights for everyone (including my children) and if you don’t treat your children equally you can have some problems with them.
3rd If one child is allowed to do something, then all of the children should be allowed to do it.
4th If one child is punished for any mistake, then all of the children should be punished for the same mistake.
5th If one child is given permission to do something, then all of the children should be given permission to do it. Obviously, you cannot give them all permission to do everything but you get what I mean.
6th Do not give your children more money than each other because they are boys and girls.
7th Do not let a boy go outside and play while telling a girl she can’t go outside and play just because she is a girl. Always treat your children fairly no matter what happens and make sure they know you.
Always tell the truth
It’s important for children to learn this skill early on in life and it’s best to get them started as soon as possible. Be honest with your little one and explain what lying is so they don’t get confused about it when they’re older.
Be generous
Teach your child the value of giving and helping others. A generous person is often seen as someone who has a lot of friends and is respected by their peers. You can start teaching this skill by having your child donate their old clothes to those who may need them more than they do.
Be positive and avoid negativity
A positive attitude is great for children because it helps them see the bright side of things when there are obstacles in their way. Negative people tend to complain about everything, which isn’t healthy for growing minds and bodies.
Hope the aforementioned tips can help you in raising balanced children.
