Parents who adapt their style of education to the age and characteristics of each child, establishing clear rules and making appropriate use of rewards and punishments encourage self-control and the maturity of the children, as well as their sense of responsibility.
Parents who promote autonomy and independence in their children, giving them small responsibilities, offer them the opportunity to feel valued de, to enjoy their achievements and to trust in themselves, contributing to the formation of a positive self-concept and developing a good self-esteem.Tasks to help the child mature and grow in responsibility
Children from very young can perform different tasks that will a help them mature and grow in the value of responsibility
: - A 2 year old can throw away his diaper , place your shoes or hang your coat if we have a hanger at the right height.- With 3 or 4 years old you can help set the table, pick up your toys or feed your pet.
- With 5 or 6 years old you can put the dishes in the sink, take a bath alone, order your books.
It is important to take into account the age of the child. A small child does not understand the weather, that is something for the elderly, he lives the here and now. If we want to get to the sites in time and he is able to get dressed we just have to have time, be careful, leave his clothes ready and teach him little tricks to put on his socks, shoes and jersey.
The first days we will pose it as a game, when the child acquires the habit he will be able to do it without the supervision or the help of the adult
. It is also an occasion to get recognition from your parents, we will tell you how handsome you are and how well and quickly you have dressed, we are proud of you !. As the child grows older, he will be given new challenges,it is good for children to have homework appropriate to their age and circumstances
, this makes them feel useful and foster a sense of belonging to the family, at the same time that we help them mature by having their own responsibilities. Recognition is very important, when they are very small the smile and the hug of dad and mom is enough, when they are older we can use an action plan with a prize at the end of the week for having gotten a new habit like for example order your room, brush your teeth every night, go to bed at the time, etc. Teach the child to mature and grow in responsibilityParents have to facilitate the proper development of children,
fostering their autonomy since they are small adapting to their age and abilities.
If the child can eat we will only be incapacitating if we continue to feed him, at first the food will fall but little by little he will learn not to spill a single spoonful. On the contrary, if we insist on continuing to feed him because we are in a hurry, we do not want him to get dirty, etc. the message we send is "you can not do it alone, that's why dad and mom help you". The child believes what his parents transmit to him, making him feel he is not capable. Our job as parents is to transmit confidence and security in our children, leaving them to develop their full potential, trusting them in spite of their mistakes. The secret is to have adequate expectations and tell them, the phrase that our children have to hear the most is "son, I love you and I trust you".
