The greatest success for parents is to set these 10 rules for their children in advance! The earlier it is established, the more promising it will be (a must-read for parents)

Today I want to talk to you about an important topic in family education: setting rules for children. A few days ago, I met an old friend Xiaomei. The naughty and mischievous little boy in her family is now in junior high school, but what I didn\’t expect is that this child has become so sensible and polite. I curiously asked Xiaomei how she did it, and she smiled and said, \”It\’s not just about setting rules!\” This reminded me of my own educational experience. I remember that when my little baby first entered kindergarten, he was simply a \”walking gunpowder bag.\” He loses his temper at every turn or is disobedient. His father and I are almost driven crazy by him. Later we realized that the problem was that we had not set good rules for our children. After a period of exploration and learning, we finally found the \”rules\” that suit our family. Now Xiaobao is a sensible primary school student. Seeing his progress, his father and I are very pleased. So, what kind of rules should we set for our children? Today Xiao Yunduo will share with you 10 super practical rules, I hope they can help you! First: Don’t play with mobile phones 1 hour before going to bed. Today’s children love to play with mobile phones and tablets, but the blue light emitted by these electronic products will affect the quality of sleep. Our family has a rule that you are not allowed to touch these things one hour before going to bed. At first, Xiaobao had a tantrum, but then he gradually got used to it, and his sleep quality improved significantly. Second: Children\’s study habits should be cultivated from an early age. Our family stipulates that study time is from 7 to 9 pm every night. Regardless of whether there is homework or not, we have to read and study. It was really noisy at the beginning, Xiaobao was acting coquettishly and mischievously, and I almost softened my heart. But after persisting for a while, he has developed a habit, and now he learns by himself when the time comes. Third: Don’t be picky about food. When I was little, my little baby was a very picky eater. In order to get rid of this problem, we made a rule: eat at least one dish that we don\’t like at every meal. He almost cried at first, but we persevered. Now he can eat a variety of foods and his health is much better than before. Fourth: Helping with housework every day is really important to cultivate children’s labor awareness from an early age. Our family stipulates that Xiaobao must help with some housework within his ability every day, such as packing his schoolbag, folding quilts, etc. He found it troublesome at first, but slowly he began to take on more housework and was quite proud of it! Fifth: This rule of no swearing may exist in many families, but it is not easy to enforce. Once, I heard Xiaobao say a dirty word, and I almost exploded. But I forced myself to calm down, communicate with him properly, and explain why I couldn’t use swear words. Now, not only does he not say it himself, but he also reminds the children not to use swear words. Sixth: If you encounter a problem, find a solution by yourself. Our family has a rule: If you encounter a problem, you must first find a solution by yourself. If you really can\’t solve it, then ask an adult for help. I remember one time when Xiaobao’s toy was broken, he thought about it sadly for a long time, and finally he suddenlyIt\’s been fixed with glue. Seeing that proud look on his face made my heart melt. Seventh: Read for half an hour every day. I won’t go into details about the importance of our reading. Our family stipulates that we should read for half an hour before going to bed every day. Xiaobao found it very boring at first, so I read it with him. Slowly, he fell in love with reading, and now he is clamoring to read more every day. Eighth: Don’t waste food. Waste is shameful, but saving is glorious. The rule in our family is: the food in the bowl must be finished. At first, Xiaobao always liked to eat more vegetables and wasted it if he couldn\’t finish it. Later, we taught him to take appropriate amounts, and now he can control his food intake very well. Ninth: Exercise at least three times a week. Today’s children generally lack exercise, so our family stipulates that they should exercise at least three times a week. At first, Xiaobao kept making excuses not to move, so his dad and I would accompany him to exercise. Now he has fallen in love with sports and often asks to go out to play ball. Tenth: Do not say hurtful words such as \”hate\” to others. The power of words is infinite. It is a rule in our family not to say words like \”nasty\” or \”idiot\”. One time Xiaobao had an argument with a child and was so angry that he directly said \”I hate it\”. I didn\’t criticize him, but analyzed the consequences of saying this to him. Now he has learned better ways to express his dissatisfaction. Having said this, I remembered the words of psychologist Dewey: \”Education is not preparation for future life, education is life itself.\” Setting rules for children is actually teaching them how to live better. Of course, setting rules is easier said than done. When you first start implementing it, your children will definitely have various discomforts. At this time, we parents must show great patience and perseverance. Remember, persistence is victory! Another point to remind everyone is that setting rules is not to restrain children, but to help them grow better. In the process of enforcing the rules, we need to communicate more with the children, understand their thoughts, and adjust the rules in a timely manner. Finally, what I want to say is that setting rules for our children is actually setting rules for ourselves. Many times, what we ask our children to do, we ourselves must set an example for ourselves. For example, don’t use mobile phones, work and rest on time, etc. Only if we do it ourselves can we guide our children better. Dear parents, I hope these 10 rules can give you some inspiration. Remember, educating children is a marathon and requires sustained efforts. I believe that as long as we work hard, we will eventually see the beautiful growth of our children.
