When you become a parent you take great responsibility for your child’s future that responsibility does not come with a handbook on how to raise a kind, honest, sympathetic, and brave child if that’s all you want for your kid but are not sure how to get there we are here to help we considered 10 things your child should learn before he or she turns 10 years old be a pro at parenting and your child will thank you as he or she grows into an awesome adult.
10. you should respect both girls and boys they are equal
Respect for others is an important feature that your child should acquire including respect for other children of the same age regardless of gender, We all know we should teach our kids to be respectful, but what is respect? you can ask three adults this question and get three different answers.
So if you want your kid to be respectful to others you should explain to them what it means in many other situations you should be their role model and be nice to people around you no matter what age, and sex they are, and what social status, they have been nice to your kids don’t yell at them or call them names apologize if you made a mistake.
If your child did something to other kids that you see as wrong and, disrespectful talk to them ask why they did it, and how they felt when they did it, maybe they don’t know a better way of expressing their emotions so they start calling other children names or being rude to them most importantly, never single out any groups your kids should respect.
Don’t tell them not to be rude to girls, or your neighbors’ kids or their cousin respect works the same way for everyone it is great if your child remembers this rule in his or her younger years respectful adults grow out of respectful children you know
9. Don’t be afraid to make a mistake
We all want our kids to be happier more talented and more successful than we are we love them so much we could not want any less for them it is understandable but it is important to teach your kid not to be afraid to make a mistake, learn from someone’s mistakes is a rare talent but it’s also important to learn from your failures.
Imagine this your kid is taking part in a drawing contest he is focused he is calm and you are happy about it for a couple of hours.
And then he is ready to show you the masterpiece as you see it you can’t hide your emotions because they are so strong you yell ugly you ruined it you must have inherited your drawing skills from your dad.
Well your kid might not be huge your Vikas, oh but it is no excuse to react in such a way it will stop your little one from trying again and make him think he is talentless instead you can tell him it is okay to make mistakes because you can always correct them and make it better
8. Knowledge is more important than grades
Sometimes parents become quite angry with grades that don’t meet their expectations however a good grade doesn’t always indicate good knowledge, you should teach your child that knowledge is more important than grades do you remember yourself during your school years?
You did your best to memorize the history of the American Revolution yet you made one mistake on the test your result was a B. The guy sitting in front of you cheated and got an A name yet you were the one who did better because you learned something and he just copied the answers does this situation sound familiar?
Hit thumbs up if something like that ever happened to you or share your own story in the comments, now your parents were probably upset with your result and told you you should have worked harder to get an A as Billy did what they should have done is explained that knowledge is much more important than grades.
So next time your kid gets a B for making one mistake on that math test don’t go too hard on them to tell them what matters is that they found the solution.
7. Your parents are not your enemies
You can ask them for help becoming a friend here child is not an easy matter especially if he or she has friends of their own, don’t be too pushy trust like respect has to be earned if your kid trembles with fear and tries to avoid any contact with you when they did something wrong.
It means you have not earned their trust yet, how can you do it? show that you can be trusted, and try to avoid yelling in long lectures if your kid did something wrong and you saw it discuss it with them note, that there is a difference between discussing and lecturing.
Try to find the reason for what happened and think of what you can do together to change the situation or give your child a good piece of advice when they see this is the way you react to problems they will make you the first person to ask for help and advice not hide from.
6. Always be ready to stand up for yourself
Some parents show more respect for teachers or other people than for a child this may be a reason for future insecurities and an inability to stand up for oneself don’t tell your child we told you this but nobody is perfect teachers are also human so they have their problems and can sometimes be in a bad mood as a result.
They might start yelling at your child for no particular reason if they tell your kid that he is messy, that might mean they have the same messy kid at home, and it makes them angry explain to your child that respect is important but the ability to defend once the point of view.
Is also necessary just be sure to teach it right we don’t encourage you to teach your kid to be rude or aggressive in response to an insult the best thing he can do in this case is to say that it can happen to anyone in a polite but firm tone the offender.
Will most likely calm down and no one in the classroom will laugh at your kid instead they will see your child can stand up for himself like the tip so far, let us know -give us a “thumbs-up” as we are about to move on to the next five things you should teach your child by 10.
5. don’t do something you don’t like for someone’s approval
Every school is a mini model of our society, there are more and less popular groups children think that popularity among friends is important and they do their best to obtain it sometimes they’re ready to do stupid or even dangerous things to prove they belong to the popular squad.
Do you remember which one you belong to you can share some stories in the comments well it seemed alright back then now that you’re a parent things have changed all you want to do is keep your child safe this includes mental safety and integrity use your example.
To show your child that being an honest and respectable person is more valuable than getting someone’s approval by stepping over your beliefs so if your little guy comes home crying.
Because everyone said he was a coward tuck it out and explain that he had a right to have refused to throw stones at someone’s window if someone thought it was a good idea and made fun of your kid they are probably not such great friends to have to manipulate others and making them go against their own will cannot be a basis for long-lasting friendship.
4. If you don’t understand, ask questions
Asking questions is normal it’s better to ask a question that you pretend that you understand everything childhood is the best time to know about this the classroom is the best place to learn it during a math lesson, for example.
They said you were going to need it later but you never actually did don’t tell your kids just yet instead help them use it to learn a much more valuable lesson.
It is okay to ask it is more important to understand than to pretend to be smart in the eyes of your classmates if more people learned and followed that rule they would be more qualified professionals in every career field and have much fewer conflicts.
3. Tell your teacher if you don’t feel well
Health is the most important and valuable thing now you know it well, but back in your childhood days, it seemed overrated that good grades sometimes do not attract too much attention.
Not looking weak his foot seemed more important to kids make sure your child knows that.
He or she should not be afraid to talk about health issues if they feel sick during gym class, for example, they should tell their teacher immediately everyone has their limits.
Sometimes the body gives us signals it is not doing well teach your child not to ignore them.
2. Respect The Environment
How often do we complain about dirty streets and ruined flowerbeds respect for nature has to start at home begin with yourself and then cultivate this quality in your child you can sit down with them and show them pictures of beautiful national parks
Or clean city streets for example then you can show them the result of human reckless behavior and impact on nature even little kids will see and not like the difference be a good model for them of how to be friendly to the environment sort garbage
And never litter watch your water usage fight or walk to places more tell them about different, plants and trees which do us much good next time your kid.
Will see someone breaking trees or littering he will most likely tell them they’re doing the wrong thing
1. learns to say no
Finally, while it is important to respect others and help them you should also teach your kid one word it can be hard to say sometimes but the word mustn’t be teaching your child to say no to adults teachers and even yourself you want to raise a strong personality.
Not a person who should obey any command the ability to say no will come in handy in adult life as we’re children it will come in handy in many situations sometimes life-threatening your kid will no longer cross the road on reading do all the work for others or make fun of the teacher
