What is the best way to educate children?
A study published in The Journal of Family psychology, concluded that spanking as a disciplinary practice is not effective, since bad behavior keeps repeating itself after physical reprimands. So, if you want to educate children well, here are the 4 ways that really work.
1. Remember that your child's brain is developing.
A child's prefrontal cortex, which helps with rational judgment, is not yet fully formed. So if you tell your child to move away from the oven and he doesn't obey, remember that his decision-making capacity has not yet developed. In this situation, the best thing to do is to distract him or draw his attention to another matter.
2. Reflect before making a decision
Whenever you feel angry and want to hit your child, step away for a while and try to calm down. It's important that you understand your emotions and find out if your frustration or stress is influencing your willingness to want to act that way. Often, after putting your feelings on the axis, you discover that it's not worth getting upset about the children's behavior.
3. Align your decisions with those of your partner
When the child performs an action, the father may find it amusing and the mother may find it terrible behavior. All that does is mess with the kids' minds, creating confusion in their future decision-making about what is and isn't acceptable. Therefore, parents' expectations and decision-making — regarding education — must be aligned.
4. Think about your child's development
As we know, babies are born with poorly developed brains, which means that adults are responsible for helping with their emotional, empathetic and intellectual development. So by punishing your child the wrong way, you can suppress his growth. So consider using a love lesson to instruct you to do right.
