- 7. 🎯 Focus on the Behavior, Not the Child
- Correct the behavior without labeling the child.
- Instead of:
- ❌ "You're a bad boy."
- Try:
- ✅ "Hitting your sister isn't okay. Let's find another way to solve the problem."
- A child can make a bad choice without being a "bad child."
- 8. ⏰ Spend One-on-One Time Together
- You don't need expensive activities to build a strong relationship.
- Try 10–15 minutes of focused time each day:
- 🎨 Draw together
- 📖 Read a story
More ideas in this section
- Giving children limited choices can help them develop independence.
- Instead of:
- ❌ "Get dressed now!"
- Try:
- ✅ "Do you want to wear the blue shirt or the green shirt?"
Use these ideas as a starting point, adapt them to your family, and consult a qualified professional when personalised advice is needed.
