Re: Early Childhood Days
wow, if her Dad does her homework for her, how can she learn anything? That's probably why she doesn't want to do that work.
And cheating in games is probably also because she is used to getting what she wants, she has to learn that in life you can't always have what you want.
I had a problem with my son, he didn't like to loose in games. He didn't know how to cheat (he's 6 now) but whenever he lost, he started yelling and crying. It took me some time to teach him that losing is part of life. I think it's important that we teach our children at a young age that they can't have it all. In their mind games are very important, when they learn to lose in games, in later life it h elps them in different issues.
And children should have the same rules from both parents and they should be strict when it comes to those rules. We've lived with my parents and my brother for a while, and whenever I said no to something, they said yes. There were no real rules for the kids. As a result no discipline. Now I'm learning to be more consistent with my children, a no is a no. Don't give in just because a child keeps nagging. That is difficult. But clear rules are very important for children.
