Principles of family education

1, principle of equality

Psychological research has proved that the equal debate between children and parents is not only a manifestation of mutual love, but also helps children build confidence, distinguish right from wrong, and enrich their imagination and creativity. Children should be treated equally.

2. Respect the principle

Respect is mutual; Parents respect their children, and children will respect their parents.

3, the principle of communication

The growth of children is not only material, but also spiritual and emotional needs. Parents ignore children's spiritual and emotional needs, and children and parents have nothing to say. In the long run, it will become more and more embarrassing for children to get along with their parents.

4, the principle of freedom

Many parents are very strict in the management of their children, but they are often thankless and even cause tragedy. We should believe in children's ability and give them a space for free development.

5, the principle of unity

Family education should be unified with the school, otherwise the children are at a loss.

6, the principle of example

Parents are the first objects that children imitate. Parents must set an example and set an example.

7. Trust principle

Lies come from distrust. If you trust your child from an early age, there is no need for him/her to lie.

8, the principle of tolerance

To err is human. It is normal for children to make mistakes when they grow up. Parents should be tolerant and give guidance.

9, the principle of encouragement

Many parents have a bad habit and don't know how to encourage it. When their children get grades, they may say a word or two casually. Children should be encouraged more in family life.
