Raising a boy is like playing a "development game", except that this "game" does not have a save function and cannot be restarted. Many parents find that boys and girls are raised in completely different ways – they are energetic, instillable, adventurous, and sometimes very "stubborn". In fact, boys grow up at their own unique pace, and as long as you master these few key principles, you will find that they are improving every day.
1. Give boys plenty of room to exercise
Boys are born "perpetual motion machines", and instead of forcing them to sit quietly, let them put their energy in the right place.
1. 0 hours of outdoor activities are guaranteed every day
Basketball, football, and running can all be, and exercise not only burns off excess energy, but also promotes brain development. You will find that boys who play sports are more likely to focus on their studies.
2. Turn learning into a game of "moving".
For example, use hopscotch to memorize multiplication tables and shoot basketballs to practice oral arithmetic. Boys' brains are more adapted to this dynamic way of learning.
2. Cultivate a sense of responsibility in boys
A sense of responsibility is an important quality for a boy to grow into a man, and he can get twice the result with half the effort when he is cultivated from an early age.
1. Assign family tasks to boys
Such as taking care of pets, taking out the trash, tidying up your own room. Praise them for doing a good job so they feel needed.
2. Allow boys to bear the consequences
Before the homework is finished, let him face the teacher's criticism by himself, which is the most direct responsibility education.
3. Protect the boy's adventurous spirit
Boys are naturally adventurous, this is not a disadvantage but an advantage, the key is how to guide it correctly.
1. Encourage exploration within a safe range
For example, they are allowed to climb trees and build "secret bases", but they are taught to assess the risks.
2. Transform the spirit of adventure into motivation for learning
Like to dismantle things? Then buy him some toys that he can assemble; Love adventure? Take him to the museum to find the "treasure".
4. Teach boys to express their feelings
Who says boys can't cry? The ability to express himself emotionally determines the quality of his relationships in the future.
1. Take the initiative to talk to the boy about his feelings
"Isn't it sad to be criticized by the teacher today?" Help them name their emotions.
2. Be a good example of emotional expression
Dad can often say "I love you" to his family, and boys will imitate this healthy expression of emotion.
The Golden Rule of Raising Boys: Less preaching, more demonstration
1. Replace preaching with action
Boys' brains are slower to respond to verbal instructions but are particularly sensitive to visual demonstrations.
2. Give boys time to grow
Their brains develop 2-0 years later than girls, so be patient.
3. Establish a close father-son relationship
The presence of a father is essential for a boy's development, and there should be at least a dedicated "father and son time" every week.
Each boy is a unique seed, some like a pine tree that grows slowly but straight, and some like a bamboo that seems to be motionless but takes root. What parents need to do is not to pull out seedlings to help them grow, but to provide suitable soil and sunlight. Adhere to these parenting principles, and you will find that your little boy is growing up at a speed that is visible to the naked eye and will eventually become a man you can be proud of!
