During the parade that closed the celebration of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, Prince Louis of Cambridge stole - again - the stage. The mimicry of his face did not go unnoticed: sitting on the podium next to his mother Kate Middleton held his little show full of grimaces and funny movements. His video is the most watched on social networks.
Moms from all over the world found themselves in Kate's reaction which very subtly asked the carefree 4-year-old to calm down. On the other hand, there were those who criticized her behavior, saying that it was her irresponsibility that failed to control his behavior in that kind of public appearance.
Is such a criticism worth it if Kate Middleton strips of titles and holds only mother status? How should you behave in such cases?
First of all, if you are facing embarrassing child behavior you should know that you are not alone and the princess was the best example to prove this.
There is no need for excessive feedback
Funny faces, touching hands, toddlers screaming or inappropriate requests can be frustrating, but you do not need to take it too personally. Nor do you react to any of his behaviors as you will not see results. What you can do is focus on behaviors that require attention and ignore the rest. Do not get upset because you will only make things worse.
Do not talk badly about other people at home
Life is full of stressful moments: bosses are challenging and sometimes tedious, neighbors annoy us just as our spouse can annoy us in certain cases. Your job as a parent is to know how to manage anger in the presence of children. Children are great imitators, so do not be surprised if one fine day you hear the girl / boy talk angrily about others or swear at them. Remind yourself that they are seeing you at every moment, therefore give the best model of yourself.
Notice good behavior
Do not criticize and advise all the time. When they are behaving well, commend them so that he / she understands the differences more clearly. Usually, children respond well to assessments, so remember to do them whenever they deserve.
Apologize
If your toddlers are stubborn in public, the first thing you should do is apologize to other people around you who may be bothering you. You never know who you are dealing with, so instead of clarifying, apologize directly.
Talk to them about feelings
Tell him what he did wrong and talk to him at length. Show him how his behavior affects others. Children understand what it means to hurt someone. Let them know how they might feel if someone did the same thing.
Realize that there are consequences when you deserve it
Once you have clarified calmly and without irritation, teach them that every behavior has consequences. You can limit the time the doll watches on TV or not play for certain hours.
