Creating a sense of responsibility requires an active implementation process. Children should be given the opportunity to learn and take on their responsibilities through their own
experiences. A sense of responsibility
will also develop with practice.
Rules, boundaries and responsibilities should be determined according to the child's age, personality traits, interests and
circumstances. For example, if an 11-year-old has an interest in the kitchen
, cooking dinner is too much of a responsibility for him, while making scrambled eggs for breakfast or making a salad for dinner may be an age-appropriate responsibility.
< br /> In this process, it is important for parents and other elders to be consistent and patient with themselves
. When the child does not fulfill the responsibility well enough in your opinion or
delays the task for which he/she is responsible, it is inconsistent
if you do it for him/her. For example, if making the bed is a responsibility of the child, the days when he does not make the bed
for someone else to make the bed for him will reinforce the child's belief that they are doing it anyway
and this situation undermines the sense of responsibility.
We mean responsibility. It's not just about studying, doing homework, and giving assignments
and fulfilling them to the letter. Of course they will make mistakes, of course there will be shortcomings. The important
is to endure and overcome the consequences of all this. While making decisions, the child should be able to determine their own priorities without violating the rights of others and be able to bear the consequences of the decisions they make. family decides. Here, the child is not taking the responsibility of his own life
. Therefore, in fact, he does not take credit for the negative results
. On the other hand, the effort to find identity, which is the most crucial part of the adolescence period, is also undermined, because he proceeds on the path his elders have drawn for him. All these situations
hinder the child's sense of responsibility, self-perception and self-confidence development.
Consciousness of responsibility contributes to self-discipline as well as to self-confidence.
Well, responsibility How will they be determined? First of all, all these decisions should be taken jointly. So
it's not your duty from now on, but it is necessary to express your expectations clearly and to ask what
you can do. The child should be allowed to make mistakes and learn from their mistakes, as long as it is not a life-threatening and irreversible
.
For example, you can remind the child who wants to go outside that it is cold and that he should buy a jacket
. Not wearing a jacket shows us that he is
responsible for the possibility of the child getting sick. But sometimes we make the situation worse
without realizing it. Standing one step behind as parents for a sense of responsibility will help strengthen the bond between you
as it shows the child that we accept that he/she is a separate individual.
