Characteristics of authoritative parents

Generally speaking, be "gentle and firm".

Once at a party with a colleague, her child was four years old, and she was severely beaten if she didn't agree with a word. I guess it hurts, but she just said normally: no! Another colleague later said to me: It's too uneducated. If I were you, I would definitely give the child a good beating. I didn't say anything. I thought there was something wrong with both of them.

Although many parents know that violent discipline is not good, they will still use it, because it is so easy to use, and the effect will appear immediately. However, many children stop being naughty not because they know they have done something wrong, but often because they are afraid of losing their parents' love.

To be an authoritative parent, you must have your own family rules, and these family rules can't be changed easily, and children can't change once they roll around.

Children under the age of three may need to strengthen this rule repeatedly, because children under the age of three learn the rule through trial and error. Children over three years old should work with him to find out the reasons for the violation and find a solution. And tell the children the rules in advance.

In short, we must remember "gentle and firm", and you can become an authoritative parent only if you speak and do things gently!
