Unspoken rules of conduct on the playground. How not to become a black sheep?

Going to the playground can be fun or not. In order not to turn an exciting pastime into stress, you need to know a couple of simple secrets.

The playground is a separate society. It has its own unwritten rules and laws. So that your stay does not end in a scandal, and you are not expelled from the party, you need to know the rules of the game. And to children, and especially to their parents.

Eye and eye

Do not leave your child unattended. Even if the situation is seemingly controlled. It can take a fraction of a second from digging with a shovel to throwing sand on a neighbor on a sandpit. Get involved - no one will take care of your child.

Set boundaries

No matter how much you want to run, push, bite and spit - this is unacceptable. Keep within your child. Explain, sidetrack if things get out of hand.

Snack

Try not to feed your baby in front of others. Children always want someone else's, and you can create an unpleasant situation when another child starts crying that he wants exactly what you have. And even if you're ready to share a product, you shouldn't. First, you cannot treat unfamiliar children without parental permission. Secondly, the child may not be allowed to eat this product (

allergy, lactose intolerance, lunch soon after all).

All toys are shared

Since all toys on the playground are common, buy a separate set for this purpose, and use it only here. So it will be easier for the child to perceive the "capture" of the scapula by another baby. Don't take expensive toys with you, especially if your child won't share them. Get involved in all the "carve-up" of Easter cakes, offer an exchange. Do your best to maintain a friendly atmosphere.

. In case it turns out that the children had the same toys, sign your own with a marker. This will avoid unnecessary disasters.

But not all things are common

There may be strollers, bags, packages of other mothers on the site. Always ask if your child can ride a stroller, for example. But it is categorically impossible to get into other people's things. Let this ban your child also knows.

Be polite

The simplest and most difficult rule to follow (especially in public areas) is to say hello! Enter the circle - say, "Hello!" This is how you set an example for your child.

Avoid conflicts

Try to avoid conflict, shout or raise other children. If a disputable situation arises, resolve it with the parent, not the child.

Be tactful

You cannot give advice when you are not asked. Do not touch controversial topics - the pot, breastfeeding, parenting processes. Light conversation on neutral topics is the key to a pleasant pastime on the playground.
