Being a father or a mother does not mean being a steward or a servant of the children ni far from it! A father who wants to do everything for the children is an overprotective father who does not want his son to move a finger or, we would be before a nervous father or mother who wants to do things before the children finish them for lack of patience . Whatever the reason why a father or mother becomes a "father or mother steward"
there will always be consequences, and negative, in the long term. Children must help at home from a very young age
Many times parents hide behind saying that their children are 'too small' to be able to do household chores, but what should be taken into account is that a child It is very small
You can help at home For example, a 2-year-old child is obvious that he will not sweep the whole house or wash his dishes, but instead, you can begin to guide him to collect his toys or objects from the floor to store them all in a system of storage.The key is to offer responsibility to the children according to their age, not expect them to do it perfectly and always congratulate them for a job well done.
Many parents do not know if the children are capable of doing things for themselves because they just do it to finish earlier
. For example, they do not know if they know how to put on their pajamas alone, they do not know if they would be able to eat on their own ... or worse, parents know that they can do things on their own but prefer to do them to finish sooner or not nervous What is clear is that children will not be perfect at first, and probably neither at second nor third, but what matters is that the child feels capable of doing things and that see that you trust him. A father or a mother who does everything so that the little ones do not move a finger,
the message he is transmitting is that he does not trust the abilities of the children .Consequences for children to have parents who do everything When this happens, when parents do not let their children be able to do things for themselves, then the consequences will be assured, let's see some of them:1.
The child will not feel capable of doing things by himself
and will not be autonomous in the tasks or in any aspect of life.
2.Will have damaged self-esteem and very little personal security, having negative consequences in their social and emotional relationships, as well as in their personal development.
3. As they get olderthey will only wait for others to do things for them because they have learned that their effort is not worth it.
Parents who do things for their children are not doing him any favors, quite the contrary. For this reason it is essential that parents teach their children to do things for themselves, but also be armed with patience and love, because it will be worthwhile to guide them in their development. It is the best work of parents!
