There is a close relationship between child unhappiness and child mental health problems. A happy child is one who has self-confidence and finds the competence to solve his problems. Let's see together how you can raise happy and self-confident children.
The mental health of the parents is the first rule of raising a 'happy' child. Not only severe mental problems, but also tension, pressure, trauma, etc. affect parents' mood and behavior negatively. Your mental health, which you postpone by saying 'let the children grow up', will negatively affect your marriage and then your child.
The relationship that your child establishes with you individually is very important, especially in the first years of his life. The healthy and interactive mother-child or father-child relationship you will establish with your child lays the foundation for healthy and trusting relationships that he will establish throughout his life.
Try to create a happy and peaceful home environment as much as possible. Try to leave out the problems you experience in your daily life as you enter your home. If not, try to explain your problems in a way that your child can understand, instead of hiding or expressing them in anger. Regular exercise increases the secretion of endorphins, the happiness hormone. In addition, the child in the group will be more active in learning social skills and unwritten social rules.
Try to draw healthy boundaries. Try to find a common way by getting ideas from your child about the limits you will set on screen use, entry and exit times, sleep pattern, study style, etc. that you are trying to control.
Prefer to approve or support instead of criticizing or embarrassing. In order to understand the situation your child is in, you need empathy, not criticism. The child you constantly criticize will stop sharing their experiences and problems with you as soon as they realize this.
Teach them to respect the rights of others while supporting their self-confidence. Give your child a 'you can do it' message and increase their confidence Make sure that other children are respectful and self-confident while trying to reach the moon.
Stop expecting things beyond your child's capacity and abilities. Focusing on the areas that he is interested in and sees himself successful rather than what he can't do will make your child happier and support their self-confidence. Expecting things from them beyond what they can do will lower their self-esteem and make them feel hopeless.
Remind yourself often that beating is not a method of discipline. Both physical and verbal violence seriously disrupt the bond, love and trust between your child and you. You may suddenly see the child you want to see happy as angry, aggressive or timid.
