The secret of criticizing children

"Men are not saints, how can they be free from faults?" Let alone children?

Children may inevitably make some mistakes because their physical and mental development level is low, their cognitive ability, thinking level and self-control ability is weak as well.

When a child makes a mistake, proper criticism is necessary. As an educational means, the purpose of criticism is to enable the child to know the cause of the mistake and to avoid or correct it in the future.

Therefore, the process of children making mistakes is the process of constantly correcting mistakes, learning from experiences, and perfecting themselves.


No matter how young children are, they also have their own self-esteem.

Therefore, when a child makes a mistake, parents should not shame them in public with anger. In this way, the child will not only be unconvinced, but will feel embarrassed.

Why don't you close your door and tell your child in a sincere manner: Mom and Dad are helping you. Listen to the child's voice patiently (everything the child does wrong is for a reason).

Then help the child analyze and point out what is wrong and help them correct their bad behavior. This not only protect the child's self-esteem from injury, and also the child is more willing to listen to parents.

 

Most children like to listen to praise and don't like being criticized.

They may have a kind of antagonistic heart as soon as they listen to criticism. Therefore, before criticizing your children’s shortcomings, parents should sincerely praise their progress or replace criticism with praise.

For example, when we see children getting rice everywhere, we can say, "Wow, you eat so fast, it would be better if you could keep the table clean." This indirect reminder is better than direct criticism. And children are more receptive to indirect reminders.

 

Don't focus on your child's shortcomings. As long as you really treat them as a child, you can forgive them for all their mistakes in growing up, and you will be happy for their progress.

Only in this way will children become better and better under our education!
