1. Main - a relationship "Relations between people - that's all. Anyone who forgets this runs the risk of losing everything »
This is - the most important rule, which is to remember any parent. The child - not just the little people for whom you are responsible, he is also a person. Therefore, it is necessary to respect and build relationships on mutual respect. It depends on the way in which the child becomes a teenager and how it will grow.
You as a parent by example teach the child to communicate with others. Without sincere human relationship that is not possible.
This is not about control. Supervise children, especially small, light - enough to intimidate them. But this makes little sense if you force a child "behave" through intimidation, he does not understand the main thing - why do it. Besides, sooner or later the child will grow and you will no longer be afraid. He may cease to be afraid of anything at all, and then to observe the moral stimulus, and he did not.
2. Treat your child with sympathy "Loving children is easy to find in this fun hard»
Children believe that parents love them, it's innate sense. Even if you are in some moments are not paying enough attention to children and punishes the guilty, they still believe in your love.
But sympathy - it is quite another. Most children feel when strangers treat them cool and even indifference. And just as well, they notice when their own parents unsympathetic, although you love them. This is no paradox: every parent knows in his heart that the child can both love and not love.
"I love him, but barely stand," - such words can be heard from parents, unfortunately, quite often. Parental love - is an automatic sense of instinct. But sympathy is caused when a child like you as a person, when you are with him wondering when communicating both of you enjoy.
Try to show a sincere interest in your child and bring him the kind of person that you will be pleasant and likable.
3. Children need a lot of attention "Children - a piranha that require attention. They greedily devoured it »
All children need attention. Attention is never enough. Sometimes the children go to any lengths to get noticed. However, they certainly do not consider that the way they attract the attention (for example, whims), may turn against them. If you can get your attention - the child will take advantage of it.
It is inherent in the instinct of children: they know that their parents supervision means safety, and will try to do everything to you for a moment could not let them out of sight.
With a lack of attention to the child will turn into bloodthirsty piranhas and suck all the juice out of you your indulgence, so this advice: Pay more attention to the children.
4. Encourage good, ignore the poor "If feed something, it will grow. If you do not feed, it will gradually fade away »
Whatever you are tired, it is important to encourage good behavior and ignore the bad. If a child does something wrong, do not worry about it. If he does something really good, it just can not be ignored.
Encourage good behavior, and the child will be more likely to behave. Ignore bad behavior, and the child gradually cease to be capricious self. Yes, stop. You would think that this is impossible, but remember: any behavior - is the search for attention. Paying great attention to moods, you give your child to understand that the most effective way to attract the eye and cause a reaction - self-indulgence and hysteria.
It is a simple principle. Get accustomed to her: parents often do not realize what kind of behavior they actually encourage and perpetuate the child.
5. Place the border children, "If you do not put their children to the border, then you're an idiot»
The boundaries do not make for different reasons. For example, the hippies did not limit children in anything, because they thought that they should be free to get acquainted with the world. Also, children do not limit the lazy - it is easier to do nothing at all, and education are allowed to chance. Restless moms are afraid to limit what a precious child and thereby damage the already fragile child's psyche. Wimp not limit because children do not want to be parents, and friends.
But if you allow children to absolutely everything, they will behave like little monsters. Initially, the children no boundaries, no rules, and you have to define these rules and strictly adhere to them.
The child moves until it hits a barrier - is his nature. However, all children are different: one has crossed the border just knowing of its existence, to another it is necessary to cut his forehead against the wall, to see what it is. But a world without boundaries for a child is very dangerous place, and because it will require even more attention to your own peace of mind.
Ease the task set a firm "no" to a series of actions the child and hold all the defense forces. At some point (fairly soon), when the child will take your "no" as an axiom - and then you will be able to breathe a little more freely.

Not worth the praise, then ignored, punished for the same actions. Yes, difficult to be consistent. Sometimes it is very difficult. Being a parent - hard work, and often a person is willing to do anything to preserve their peace of mind. But the concession - a big mistake. "You can not" should mean "no" always, at any time of the day or night.
Again: mark the rules and stick to them yourself, do not confuse the child.
But if not keep - not reproach yourself. We are all human, and self-flagellation can push you away from the goal.
7. Do not forgive the terrible behavior "never ceases to amaze the fact that some people are able to tolerate their children the most horrible behavior»
If your child swears, insults parents or arranges hysterics, it is impossible to forgive. Yes, all the kids from time to time acting up. But this does not mean that you need to quietly watch over it and get down on the brakes, because more will only get worse.
It may seem that this rule is contrary to the fourth paragraph, but it is not: if the child does not cease to behave badly, then it is necessary not to ignore and suppress because the parent is likely before this behavior is encouraged, unwittingly. The situation is corrected immediately may not, but it will be corrected.
This child is not obliged to accept everything with you. Do not suppress his will, but remember that to argue - this is normal, and show disrespect to their parents - no. Disputes mean that parents are raising a child the ability to think and ask questions, and so do their job.
Own opinion - it's good, because sooner or later the child will grow and will live with your mind. But the lack of respect - is a different matter. He can not forgive, much less encouraged. With this must fight.
