Don’t Always Satisfy All the Children’s Wishes

Many parents will encounter the same problem at one stage. Their children would cry and make noise in the supermarket just for a plastic toy car or a wooden dinosaur puzzle. If parents do not follow their wishes to buy these toys, then the children will become very ferocious and even stay in the supermarket. At this time, it is impossible for parents to control their children, because they have missed the best time to educate their children. In other words, children have realized that they can achieve their wishes as long as they cry, so no matter what tricks their parents use, they will not change their minds.

So when should parents give children psychological education and tell them what kind of toys is worth buying?

The Best Stage of Psychological Education

Educating a child is not blindly instilling common sense in life and the knowledge that needs to be learned, but emotionally letting the child have a sense of dependence and trust. Some parents may wonder that they are busy with work and send their children to professional tuition institutions, but the teachers cannot teach their children well. This is because parents have not given their children proper love.

Children must experience different emotional changes as they grow up. They need to learn patience from their parents. When they say their needs, parents cannot meet all the children’s expectations in order to solve the problem quickly. For example, if they want a similar toy after they already own a wooden jigsaw puzzle, parents should learn to reject it. Because such a similar toy will not bring children a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, but will only make them mistakenly believe that everything can be easily obtained.

Do some parents think this is a trivial matter? As long as they can pay for the children’s needs, there is no need to refuse them. However, parents have not thought about whether they can satisfy their children in all situations when their children become teenagers and want more expensive things? The children at that time already had all the abilities and options to deal with their parents.

The Right Way to Reject a Child

When many children see other people’s toys, they feel that this toy is more fun than all their own toys. This is because of their desire to explore. If parents take their children to a toy store, even the most common small plastic toys and wooden magnetic trains will become the things children want to have most. This is not because they have never played with these toys, but because they are more accustomed to taking things as their own. When parents realize that their children’s “don’t give up until you reach your goal” mentality, they should say no right away.

On the other hand, parents must not let their children lose face in front of the public. In other words, don’t criticize or bluntly reject your child in public. Let your children face you alone, don’t let them be watched, so that they will be more excited and make some irrational behaviors.
