Thank you for clicking on my article. This is an interesting topic because it involves your children, if you have them now or would in the future. Kindly read on as I give some tips, below.
Don’t stereotype what they love:
At a younger age, it is okay for a girl to play with cars and not dolls or kitchen sets. Everyone is born differently and uniquely. Don’t let what would people say get into your head and not let your daughter pull through with her dreams. For the boys too, it is okay if they prefer different colors apart from blue. They can love other colors as well and blue must not be imposed on them.
Let them be aware that it is okay to speak up:
There is always the freedom of speech for everyone in their ages. If a child is seen defending themselves, society tends to tag them as being disrespectful, even when they speak with a polite tone. A child is born with enough innocence for them to be understood and given the freedom to express themselves. When things decide to go south, that’s when parents can come in and set things straight with them. This becomes part of their growth process and they get to understand what is right and wrong.
Never compare your children with other children:
When a parent begins to involve comparison with the upbringing of their child, the child would never feel welcome in the society. They would always lose their self-esteem and self-confidence. They must know that every child is special in their own way and must be acknowledged.Â
It is okay for your son to let out their tears:
Why should your son fight back his tears because society would tag him as not being a man? That really affects a child when he is growing up. He doesn’t truly know who he can open up to, with all his emotions. Let him know that it is okay to want to be hugged and let out some tears.Â
