All parents are divided into two groups: those who want their children to grow up as soon as possible, and on those who want their children to remain small longer. The first it seems that time goes too slowly, the second – that it flies too fast. Be that as it may – children grow and grow up.
From the course of time, not only sizes change, but also requests, and with them the conditions. Manezhik and pot sooner or later should give way to quite adult furniture. Sooner or later in the children’s room, a single -spar bed should appear for the child, and with it certain rules. Own “adult” bed implies an adult attitude towards it. Now the child himself must keep it in order. Let this be his responsibility – to refuel the bed. You should no longer be allowed to jump on such a bed.
In addition to the bed, the child now needs a separate working corner – a table, a chair, a closet with books. The order on the desktop should also maintain the child himself. Books, toys, things – the attitude to these things should now be not just user. Let the child gradually control the state of things. At first, it is worth telling him how to properly distribute things in the closet so that it is more convenient to get them, and then put this responsibility to the child. You can’t behave so that the child evades his duties to maintain order in his room, knowing that parents will take them upon themselves. Situations are different, but losing once, the child can simply “sit on the neck”.
The child’s desire for independence must be encouraged as early as possible and as often as possible. No need to take a broom from him with the words “You do not know how”. It is necessary to show how to use a broom or vacuum cleaner correctly, and do not scold for the first dust with a pillar. Patience, time and a reasonable approach will help the child not perceive growing up as a heavy burden, but get involved as a fascinating journey.
