How to raise happy children

When it comes to educating children, there’s always a lot of questions about how you should do it.

There is no father or mother sure that they will raise their child in the best possible way. As much as we try, there is no exact science to ensure the success of the education that you give them. But there is a true consensual to all specialists in early childhood education: the keyword is love. To have an emotional development as healthy as possible, children need to feel loved.

These are some of the aspects to be taken into care in order to make your child grow up happily. Set an example Parents and role model adults should behave and act as balanced as possible, the way you would like your children to act, so they can assimilate and repeat these behaviors, acting correctly. Focus daily on this task and let the stress out.

Take your children seriously, even if they are very small. Talk to them and above all, listen to them. Do not minimize their pain, and fears, and show respect to what they are saying.

Make compliments often. When they finish a difficult task, when they are generous to other people or on important occasions. Compliment, mainly, their effort and not just their natural abilities. Justified compliments are important in building the self-esteem of the child.

Establish rules. The imposition of rules is of utmost importance in the growth of children. Establish rules, and logical, and reasonable limits without being too austere or punitive, but don’t be too permissive.

Don’t sign them up for too many extracurricular activities, especially those that appeal more to parents than to the child. Children need to spend time with their family and time to play.

Being together at home does not mean that you are together. Take some time to play with your children, read, and watch cartoons with them. Especially only children can feel alone.

Work your own emotional state. The happier the parents are, the greater are the chances to raise a psychologically healthy child.
