How to negotiate with a child: no more tears and tantrums
It can be very difficult with children at times, especially when you need to agree on something.
However, it is possible to avoid tears and hysterics.
Let's figure out how to find an approach to our beloved children.
How to negotiate with a child
First of all, it is necessary to take into account the child's age. The first period when a child begins to contradict parents begins at 2-3 years.
Keep in mind that this is your child's need and try to listen to him.
Secondly, pay attention to the situation when the child resists. If it is repeated over and over again in similar situations, then you should take this into account.
For example, the child resists when you try to dress him. Perhaps you simply missed the period when the baby can do it himself and wants to dress without outside help.
And the child also needs to be given the right to choose. That is, not ordered to clean up toys, but allowed to choose: to do it independently or with your help.
In those cases when the child categorically refuses to do as you tell him, look for a compromise. For example, if the child categorically does not want to clean up, suggest that he play for a few more minutes, and then clean up anyway, since it is time to go to bed.
