TRAINING CHILDREN FROM INFANCY TO ADOLESCENCE

Training a child can be a daunting task especially when the parents fail to start on time. the best time to start training a child for sure is when they are young and can be easily controlled and directed.

AS CHILDREN grow, they explore the boundaries of their expanding world. They interact with more people—playmates, schoolmates, and extended family. when children interact with different people, the parents definitely are not the only people that influence them anymore. That is why it is essential that you use these years to teach your child the value of obedience and good manners. It is also important to provide direction with regard to right and wrong.



To train a child requires a lot, like, you have to reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all long-suffering and art of teaching.

Children ought to be tought at every given opportunity, seize every opportunity to inculcate something in your children. for you to be able to teach your children effectively, you have to develop the art of listening. listen when they talk, either to you or to friends and neighbors. children hardly keep secrets, so when you listen carefully when your children talk you can easily understand how they feel about things and also what they are going
through.

Make your children your friends. its normal for your friend to tell you what is bothering him or her, if you make your children your friend, they will more easily tell you things that bother them and also ask you anything they do not understand.

Do not hold back discipline. when your children flaunt your law, knowingly or unknowingly do not hold back discipline. if there are certain standards you set in your family and you also set out punishment for the offender and you child side steps, make sure the proportionate discipline is melt out. this will help the child to see reasons why he/she should never disobey your laws, and it will also help them to see why they should always fulfill their promises when they make one.

In disciplining your children, do not let them see you as a wicked father, that will make them see you as another enemy or threat they have, so you must show reasonableness when disciplining your children.
