"One day your child will make a mistake or a bad choice and run to you instead of away from you and at that moment you will know the immense value of peaceful, positive, respectful parenting". L.R. Knost
I know that most children turn to their parents when they do a simple or one-time mistake.
But the actual challenge appears when the child makes a major mistake or keeps repeating the same mistake. It becomes difficult for the parent to not lose cool or to forgive. And children feel guilty or fearful and want to hide their mistakes. π’
The fact is, children learn by making mistakes and sometimes they do the same mistake again and again. The reasons could be many, temptations, peer pressure, an easy way out of a situation, procrastination, and more.
It’s our duty as parents and teachers to keep our "sunny side up" πand guide them until they learn.
It's important to let them know that we are not okay with bad behavior and that such behavior will have consequences. We also need to keep explaining what we mean by bad behavior.
Children seek the approval and acceptance of their parents ..shhhh they may not agree to this but this is the fact. So keep disapproving of bad behavior, appreciating good behavior, and importantly telling them that you will love them no matter what!ππ
Sounds like a lot of work right? Keep working on this and at some point, it will start to become easy and you will smile when you look back.ππ
Make it a day of forgiveness and also a day of setting loving boundaries
