Consistency with your children grow your child in right way. Consistency is also a child psychology that provides to baby by parents.
Consistency
Consistency
is the key while raising your child. Do not say "no" for something and
then fail to follow up if your child ignores your "no". If you fail to
support your word with action your
child will learn that your "no"
doesn't always mean much. |
| Consistency with children |
For example, if your child is pressing a dishwasher's button that could start a false washing cycle over again, and you are trying to convince him that this is a wrong thing to do for the past ten minutes then you are on a wrong track. After pressing the button for the first time and having heard your "no" he should've stopped his behavior shortly. If he still continues, then you should take your child by his hand firmly, look at him in his eyes and say a firm NO and take him away from the machine and distract with some other activity.
Young (1-3yrs) children's attention span and memory are short thus distraction and firmness of your word are the best ways to deal with certain situations. Start early. As soon as your child becomes a curious explorer there are certain zones that should be kept from the child's access.
However usually there are spots in the house which are accessible to children but you prefer them not to be touched (for example audio system). Lets say your child kept trying to explore your audio system. No matter how lazy you are at that moment, get up from that sofa and tell him that this is a "no" zone. If your baby is again there after a while repeat the same thing again, after a few times your child will likely stay away from your audio system or touch it very carefully and will not make any damage.
