The following five things should not be done in front of children. Just so that your child does not form the same bad habits.
So, what should not be done with a child?
1. Watch TV
If you want your child to be active and alert, do not show him a bad example of sitting in front of the screen forever. Children, especially in the preschool period, subconsciously copy the behavior of their parents. Therefore, stop turning on the TV as soon as you cross the threshold of the house, otherwise, you risk losing the contact and attention of your child. Leave watching a talk show or series until late in the evening when the child is asleep, and now ask the child about how his day went or discuss plans for the weekend with him.
2. Spend all your time with gadgets
Even if your child is still very small, in order to understand what a smartphone or tablet is, still try to take it in your hands less often with a child. Try to strictly control yourself: read paper books to yourself and your baby, play real games with him – he will meet virtual reality again.
3. Criticize a partner in front of a child
You can express dissatisfaction with your husband to your mother (his or her) or a friend. But the child is not the listener to whom you can complain about his father. By expressing your disappointment with your partner, you can easily belittle your father’s authority, and he can still come in handy a few years later, say when dealing with a difficult teenager.
4. Make fun of the teacher
Each of us in our school years probably had a teacher over whom the students made fun, often quite evilly. In the presence of the child, one should refrain from ridicule and jokes about the teacher. If you want your offspring to listen in class and learn something, make sure that the teacher remains an authority for him.
5. Tell lies
It is not uncommon for a situation when, while walking with a baby, you meet a friend whom you want to get rid of quickly, and you start to come up with non-existent things that you are supposedly in a hurry to do. With repeated repetition of such a situation, the baby will remember your lie and decide that there is nothing wrong with deception.
