Honing Your Parenting Skills and Teaching Manners
Parenting goes beyond simply teaching your child to say "please" and "thank you." It involves guiding your child daily on expected behaviors, offering countless opportunities to direct them positively.
Focus on Teaching, Not Reprimanding
It's crucial to teach rather than criticize. Misbehavior often stems from a need for guidance, not intentional naughtiness. Be specific in your instructions and be prepared to reinforce them regularly.
For instance, instead of stating, "Don't be discourteous!" you might say, "It's impolite to belch at the table, but if you do, remember to say 'excuse me.'"
Rephrase and Guide
When your child's language is less than polite, offer a rephrased version of their statement. If they say, "I hate this green stuff!" gently correct with, "You can say, 'I don't like spinach.'"
Accept Mistakes
Children naturally make mistakes as they grow. Spilling, dropping, or breaking things are part of learning motor skills. Social errors are also part of maturing. Understand these age-appropriate blunders for what they are.
Correct Privately
Refrain from correcting your child's manners in public. Public reprimands can embarrass your child and reflect poorly on you. Handle corrections discreetly.
Set Expectations
Once your child learns proper behavior, consistently expect it. Encourage good manners daily and offer gentle reminders. Over time, this will nurture respectful and well-mannered individuals.
Take Charge
Empower yourself to lead confidently. Establish a trusting, loving relationship with your children, providing them with the values, wisdom, and skills they need for adulthood.
Implement Rules and Routines
Having clear rules and routines fosters a peaceful home environment. Without them, chaos can ensue. Invest time in setting family priorities, rules, and schedules for daily activities.
Embrace Growth
Parenting doesn't come naturally to anyone. While we love our children deeply, we aren't born with a manual for every challenge. Trust that your parenting skills will develop with time and experience.
