Every parent wants his child to respect elders. But that is not the case. Many parents often complain about how to make their kid respect adults. This disrespect can be in form of words or actions. It is the duty and responsibility of the parents to instil that value in the child. Children learn all the crucial values of life from the parents. The seeds of such behaviour start from toddler stage only. The process must begin with parents teaching their child to respect their parents. A child normally mimics the words of his parents. The common word used by the child is ‘No’. They learn this word from the parents. While raising a child, it is important that parents choose their words carefully because it is going to affect them in the long run. Developing a healthy sense of love and respect is of uttermost importance.
While a baby begins his life with walk and crawl, he feels curious about each and every thing. During that period parents often say no for things they find appropriate. The habit of ‘No’ develops from here. Once your child grows old and still keeps saying no every now and then, that’s a cause of worry. Parents need to change this habit of his quickly. Don’t take this habit jokingly because this is turning out to be a dangerous habit. The behavioural change process should start from there. Parents should better nip this habit in the bud.
Children have this habit of touching the boundaries before final withdrawal. Discipline is quite important so that your child grow up to be a responsible adult. Parents should also be consistent in their behaviour. They should maintain a stand and stick to it.
