For novice parents, they may have absolutely no experience in parenting, but their little ones have already arrived, and they have to grit their teeth and learn how to raise them. In fact, novice parents have nothing to fear, as many classic parenting principles have been passed down. As long as you learn patiently and meticulously, you will definitely do well.
1. Stay calm when your child is throwing a tantrum. For young novice parents, perhaps you have just transitioned from being a child to being a parent, and may still have some youthful temperaments. When your child throws a tantrum, you might throw one back or even ignore them. This is wrong. When your child is throwing a tantrum, what you need to do is stay calm. Only by staying calm can you think from your child's perspective and solve the problem. The more your child throws a tantrum, the calmer you need to stay, otherwise, the situation will escalate.
2. Criticize your child's behavior, not their personality. Many young parents, when angry, may say hurtful things like, "Why are you so stupid? You're not even as good as a pig." Such insulting criticism that hurts their personality can cause great harm to a child's inner self, and may even directly affect their future life and learning, sometimes even impacting their entire life. You can criticize your child's behavior and point out what's wrong, requiring them to correct it, but you cannot accuse or insult their personality.
3. Respect your child's privacy and give them space. Parents are the closest people to their children, but it doesn't mean that parents need to know all their secrets. Children have the right to have their own little secrets, and parents should not interfere. Many parents are very curious about their children's privacy and want to know everything they do, which can affect the parent-child relationship. Parents should give their children some space, allow them to have their own privacy or little secrets, and be willing to keep those secrets for them, rather than exposing them or constantly monitoring their every move.
4. Teach your child to be independent, self-reliant, and confident. For excellent children on their growth path, parents will definitely find ways to cultivate their independent, self-reliant, and confident personality. Only in this way can children live a sunny and healthy life after leaving their parents. Only in this way can they think of ways to solve problems independently when faced with them, laying the foundation for their growth. Therefore, parents should let go more often and allow their children to face and solve problems on their own, rather than always relying on their parents. Doing so is not beneficial to the child. If one day the parents are not around or out of their sight, they will be unable to live on their own.
