Even though parenting is a big responsibility, it can be a lot of fun. It is particularly important to respect the child’s personality. Parents should respond to their children, listen to them and take their needs and interests seriously.
Set limits
Parents are more than just their children’s friends. As adults, they are responsible for the child and set the direction. Therefore, you should not be afraid to give the child rules and set limits.
Many education experts consider clear guidelines and rules for children the best way. Children need reliable information that they can follow.
If the parents are inconsistent, this behavior can lead to the child becoming disoriented. Guardians must make decisions for their children if the child is not yet able to do so. However, the decisions should be discussed and justified.
Physical punishments are absolutely taboo. “Before I slipped my hand, I preferred to walk around the block,” reports Cornelia Nitsch from her everyday experience with four sons. “You can talk to the child about problems when you have a cool head again.”
She thinks little of punishments and sanctions: “That should always be a last resort if everything else is no longer fruitful, because punishments quickly lead to a power struggle. First of all, parents should look for a conversation. So I”m usually far with my four children came.”
Educational concepts or gut feeling?
Many parents consider whether they should consider a certain concept in their upbringing. However, many of these concepts are very technical. They provide patent recipes and suggest false security when dealing with children. If they are not tailored to the child"s personality, they restrict the educational scope too much.
According to Cornelia Nitsch can Parents calmly listen to their gut feelings and concentrate on their own perception. The inner voice often says exactly the right thing.
If you still want to attend a course on the subject of education, you can take a closer look at the courses of the German Child Protection Association. The educational programs address the personality and needs of the child.
Are parents alone with the upbringing??
Ideally, everyone should be involved in raising children: parents, educators and teachers. If possible, they pull together. If problems arise, for example, if the child has a behavioral problem, parents need external help. In such cases, various advice centers offer support that parents can perceive.
For the future of child rearing, many education specialists hope for a golden middle ground between drill and "laissez faire". A network of people who look after the upbringing of children would be desirable. In any case, Cornelia Nitsch hopes that "Parents will take a lot of time for their children in the future and deal with them in partnership. However, it doesn’t work without rules and consequences!"
