Children often try to bring the parent to emotions, if he succeeds, a scandal cannot be avoided ...
How to respond correctly to a child's provocation?
Psychologists immediately named 5 options for getting out of the situation, use the one that is more suitable at the moment.1. React calmly, smile, speak in a low voice. Give up the idea of punishing the child.
For example, when doing homework, focus on helping your child, rather than putting him in a corner or yelling.
2. If the child is making a cruel joke, praise him for his quick wits, and then explain why this should not be done.
Bad jokes hurt people, so concentrate on this idea.
3. Play the game - the other way around. Let your child clean up the apartment while you do his homework. Of course, the child will take a pose, say that he does not want to clean up, and decides that it is better to do his homework after all.
4. If the situation is about to get out of hand, try to shift the child's attention to something else. Or just leave. Say you need to do something in the kitchen or call your dad.Sometimes the child also needs to be given time. During your absence, he may switch to another occupation.
5. If you've already yelled at your child, don't worry about guilt. A child provocateur expects just such a violent reaction from you.
You should not dwell on this, because both the child (provoked) and the parent (could not restrain himself) are to blame for the scandal.
