In communication, body language is 60% important, tone of voice is 30%, and words are 10% important.
The first step is to know this fact and evaluate whether your body language, tone of voice and words contain the message you want to give. If you are yelling while telling your child not to 'yell', your child will use 'yelling' more in communication.
The second thing you need to do is to ensure that the messages you give are consistent over time. If you are a parent who is overly tolerant and does whatever your child wants on a happy day, but you do not behave similarly when you are tense and angry, your child will not receive the message of what is right and what is wrong. If he has a chance to get you to do what he wants, he will push you harder and try his luck.
The third thing you need to do is to ensure that adults who spend time with the child give messages that do not conflict with each other. If the father says yes to a behavior that the mother says no to, the child will prefer to receive the message that suits him/her.
The fourth important thing is to maintain our way of communicating with him/her in other areas. Even if the mother and father are caring towards their children and use a common language towards them, if the communication between them is poor, the child still cannot receive the clear message. The child communicates with life the same way he communicates with his parents.
Stay safe...
