SUMMARY
– The correct phrase is “You need to listen to your parents.” This helps the child develop critical thinking and a healthy distrust of strangers.
– The correct phrase is “Tell me what’s bothering you.” Or “Why are you crying?” If the child falls or gets bruised, say “Are you crying because it hurts or you’re frightened?” This will provoke a conversation which will help the child identify their emotions.
– “Would you let this boy play with your toy for a while?” or “Maybe you want to exchange toys for a while?” Give your child an opportunity to manage their things themselves. If the child is against sharing, then do not insist.
– The correct phrase is “Why did you do that?” This will help you find out whether the child did it themselves or upon someone’s encouragement. Always give children the opportunity to explain their actions.
– Comparing him with others negatively affects the child’s self-esteem, making them think they will never achieve anything. The correct phrase is “I love you. You can do this, too.” Point out your child’s abilities, and show that you believe in him. Remember that every child is unique and has their own talents.
– The correct phrase is “Let me tell you what upset me.” Hearing your point of view, your children will learn to take your feelings into account when pondering their future actions.
– The correct phrase is “I’m not ready to answer now. I need some time.” Do not dismiss the child. If they ask you a question, try to answer it. This way you will remain an authority in their eyes and will never lose their trust.
