Some reliable Tips for Self-Control And Your Children

Self-control is an ability that allows a person to manage one’s thoughts, emotions, behaviour, and impulses. People can easily cooperate with others, resolve conflicts, and cope with frustrations if they have this trait. An example of this is when a toddler says “I’m mad” instead of breaking things or biting others to vent frustrations.

If your children struggle with how to control themselves, they may need additional help in learning this ability. Here’s some tips regarding how you can help your children develop self-control:

 Use Bedtime to Teach Self-Discipline

 

Going to bed without having to argue with your little ones is one of the most common parenting struggles. For children, it takes a lot of self-control to stay quietly in bed and go to sleep. One way you can teach self-discipline and control is by setting a fixed schedule for bedtime. Before going to bed, allot some time for your children to fix their school bags, clean up, and do everything else that needs to be finished before bedtime. This requires a lot of work for parents, but it will definitely pay off in the future. Read them a story so they relate that with going to sleep.

Teach Responsibility and When Done Reward Your Children

 

A responsible person does the right things even without supervision. Train your little ones to follow their routines and be responsible. For example, if they are responsible in getting up early and they are ready for breakfast by 7:30 in the morning, you can give them the privilege to stay up a little later than their bedtime. Being able to choose one’s clothes and get dressed earlier also allows one to have more time to prepare. These simple benefits of life that are granted for doing responsibilities are considered as privileges.

 

Some parents think by giving their children an easier life and less responsibilities that this might make them feel good and comfortable at the expense of developing good character & necessary life skills. However, this often results in more freedom and less self-discipline and control. Remember, self-control is an essential skill to prepare your children to aim for success and absolute happiness. In fact, spoiled children eventually feel unsuccessful and unhappy unlike self-disciplined children who are always happy.

Use Waiting For Practicing Tolerance and Patience

 

Every time we exercise self-control, we also increase our chances of meeting our goals. When children wait, they develop tolerance and patience. Waiting makes children learn that being patient will pay off especially if it’s about getting something they want. However, you must consider that children cannot wait too long because this can trigger anxiety which sabotages their attempts at controlling themselves.

Teach By Modeling Appropriate Behaviour

 

Tell and show your children the things they should and should not do. For instance, if you see them throwing balls in the house, give them an empty box or trash can so they can throw the balls in this. You may also go out with them and show them where they can throw the ball. This is an effective way to show the difference between right and wrong. Of course, you also have to behave appropriately so your little ones can follow your steps.

 

 

 

 

 

Provide a Reward For Helping

 

Children often perform better when they get a reward after being successful. Instead of giving them a treat or a toy, you can offer a privilege. For instance, if they stop what they’re doing to help you set the table or wash the dishes, you can give them the chance to choose the dessert or allowing them to spend more time playing.
