10 things kids really want from us

Every parent tries to show love and care about the child in its own way. Someone believes that by severity and shouting, they bring up a strong character in a child, someone is trying to fence off any troubles, someone is balancing and looking for a middle ground.

But does everyone think about the true interests of the child, working on his "bright future"?

Often, children cannot find the words to express what they really want. But here's what they would like to convey:

1. Be a good role model, follow the rules you teach your children. No words will affect the development of a child as much as a living example of a parent.

2. There is never too much tactile contact between parent and child. Kiss and hug him, wear on the arms. This does not make the child spoiled, it gives him love.

3. Children want to learn, give them time and be patient. They may not understand everything and not immediately understand, but one day you will grow old, and they will grow up - and you will change roles.

4. Show your child the boundaries, but keep your discipline benevolent and consistent, and the prohibitions clear and reasonable.

5. Always be on your child's side no matter what happens. There should not be a problem in life with which he would be afraid to turn to you.

6. Be genuinely interested in your child's affairs. Ask, listen, and memorize what he tells you. Try to understand what is important to him, do not discount problems and hobbies.

7. Accept the child without lectures, condemnation, lectures and "I told you." Cry with him, hug him. If he turned to you for advice, help or sympathy, do not deprive him of this.

8. Do not compare your child and their accomplishments to other children. His grades, the speed of development and learning, dreams and aspirations are only his business. Any comparison demotivates him.

9. Play with children outdoors. Show how fun active outdoor games can be, support your child in these games and let them play with friends.

10. Don't force your child to eat. Let the food on your family table not only be healthy and nutritious, but also delicious.

11. Let your child make their own decisions not related to safety and health. Let him make his own mistakes. If you constantly remove him from making decisions, then he will grow up without learning this. And then he will not know where to move in life.

12. Praise and encourage your child. If he does not receive this from his parents, he will spend his whole life trying to prove something to someone, although in fact he only needs something for his parents to love and appreciate him.
