Explain clearly what you expect from your child. Rather than just shouting his name to get his attention, give specific guidelines like “give me the hand to cross the road” or “at the library, we speak in a low voice”. This helps the child to understand exactly what you expect from him or her.
Conclusion
Remitting “no” to children constructively is essential for their learning and development. By setting clear boundaries, revealing the reasons for the bans, and proposing alternatives, parents can help their children grow up in a structured and safe environment. These techniques also offer autonomy and responsibility in children, while maintaining a positive and respectful relationship between parents and children.
