The current President of the United States, Trump, has five children. All of them are well-educated, have excellent academic performance, have successful careers, and are self-reliant. Some people say that it is not difficult for a child to be outstanding, but all of Trump’s children are outstanding. This only shows that Trump is a successful father. I saw an article introducing Trump\’s parenting experience, and there is one thing in particular that many parents can learn from: He is always the staunchest ally of the mother of his child. Trump\’s first wife told reporters that when she was \”setting the rules\” for her children, Trump was firmly on her side. If she says \”no\” to the children, they may ask their father for his opinion. At this time, Trump will ask: \”What does your mother say?\” The children reply: \”Mom does not agree.\” Trump will tell the children that he does not agree either. I have a colleague who does the exact opposite of Trump. The young master in his family has been naughty since he was a child, and he is the type who never makes big mistakes or small mistakes. As for the couple, when they rarely have the same opinions in life, they often get into quarrels over trivial matters. What\’s interesting is that the child, as big as a brat, has already discovered this secret. Whenever my mother criticizes me, she goes to my father to criticize me, and when my father criticizes me, I go to my mother to complain. So, this often happens: the father says to his son: \”Why don\’t you do your homework?\” The child runs to his mother: \”I\’ve been doing my homework for a long time, and my dad still blames me!\” So the mother says: \”Let\’s do it.\” What\’s wrong with the kid taking a break? You have to…\” Then, the couple started to quarrel, and sometimes even staged a full-on martial arts show. Then, the child will take the opportunity to run away and be happy! Now that the couple has divorced, the future development of the child is even more worrying. It really is a rule of thumb to always be an ally to your significant other when educating your children. Some people may ask, if the other half\’s idea is wrong, shouldn\’t they still support the child? This is actually a bit of a stretch. There is usually no obvious right or wrong in what parents ask their children to do. As parents, no one would deliberately push their children into the fire pit. If one party really wants to harm the child, it is no longer a matter of who supports whom. If there is just a conflict in educational concepts, it should not be resolved in front of the child. Otherwise, if the couple exposes their differences in front of the children, it is easy for the children to take advantage of this conflict to \”break up\” each parent like my colleague. In fact, both husband and wife look at the problem from different angles, and have higher or lower levels of knowledge and ability, resulting in different concepts of child education. Sometimes one party may do something inappropriate, which is normal. For example, in a family, a mother may make more demands on her children, and of course, there may be more times when her demands are excessive. If a child applies to his father for a \”ruling\” and the father immediately supports the child in person, it will obviously reduce the mother\’s prestige in the eyes of the child. Over time, the child will develop a habit of rudely rejecting the mother\’s discipline and expecting the father to support him. This will obviously make the mother feel frustrated and weaken the mother\’s impression in the children\’s mind. Doing so is not conducive to the education of children, nor is it conducive to the relationship between husband and wife. At that time, not only will the children not be well educated, but they will alsoIt will hurt the couple\’s relationship. So, what should you do if a couple has different opinions when it comes to educating their children? The first is to communicate in advance and form a consensus before talking to the child. The second is that when the child asks for a ruling, be consistent first, then communicate privately, and make corrections next time. At home, it is inevitable that one of the couple will be stronger and the other will be weaker, one will be more strict with the child and the other will be more doting on the child. This is normal. But as long as they face the child together, the two people should have completely consistent attitudes and appear in front of the child as a whole. Not refuting the other party in front of the children is very important for educating children and for family harmony.
