The rebellious period of young children refers to the fact that children around the age of 2-3 begin to have a sense of self-independence, will say no to their parents' requirements, will want to explore the outside world, and will show disobedience, resistance, impulsiveness, emotion and other behaviors. This is a normal stage of growth, and it is also an important process for children to form their self-identity and personality.
In the face of children's rebellious period, parents can take the following methods:
1. Be cautious with your own "no".
Don't say no to your child's every request, but give your child some options so that your child feels the initiative and respect. When you say no, give reasons to convince your child.
2. Give your child a certain amount of freedom.
Within the scope of allowability, satisfy your child's curiosity and desire to explore, let your child try and experience on their own, and do not interfere and protect too much. When a child encounters danger or difficulty, protect and help in time, but do not criticize or punish.
3. Establish good communication.
Listen to your child's thoughts and feelings, and don't just lecture or command. Use open-ended questions to guide children to think and express, praise and encourage children with affirmative language, and understand and comfort children with empathy.
4. Guide children correctly.
Set reasonable rules and expectations according to your child's age and characteristics, so that your child understands what is right and what is wrong, what can and cannot be done. Convince the child with facts and reasons, rather than suppressing them with authority and threats. Let the child take responsibility for the consequences of his actions, and let the child learn to be responsible and apologize.
The rebellious period of children's toddlers needs the love and guidance of parents, rather than indifference and indulgence. Parents should educate their children with the right methods and attitudes to help them successfully get through the rebellious period and move towards maturity and health.
