When children reach the age of 9 to 10 years, many changes begin in them. Children at this age begin to explore the outside world more, and the restrictions of home begin to seem disapproving. If parents do not make some changes at this time, children start moving away from them. At this age, it is necessary for parents to also change their perspective to give right guidance and direction. Here are two important changes parents should adopt:
1. Stop fussing over small things
When children reach the age of 9, they start considering themselves adults. They try to do things themselves and express their desire for independence. At this time, parents should avoid interrupting children on every little thing, such as brushing teeth on time, bathing or keeping books in the right place. Thus, when parents focus on important changes, children will also be able to communicate with them in a better way.
2. Take children’s opinion while making rules
Till now, parents are setting all the rules for their children themselves. But when children are on the verge of adolescence, it is important that parents take their children’s opinion into consideration. Like asking how long they want to watch the mobile. By involving children in this process, they will accept the rules as their own and become better at time management.
By adopting these changes, parents can establish better relationships with their children and encourage them to move in the right direction.
