Raising a child is a complex and demanding process. The parent must deal with it. There is an opinion that a father should raise a boy, and a girl should be a mother. And not in vain. The question of how to raise a boy as a gentleman is asked by each parent. It is dad who is the person who sets an example to follow. Looking at his father, the baby already from the diaper has an idea of how a man should behave in relation to life, work, women.
The model of the parent’s behavior is deposited in the baby’s head very precisely at the subconscious level. In order for a child to grow up as a worthy representative of modern society, it is necessary from childhood to set a positive example for him, even in situations where everything gets out of control. It is rather difficult to raise a child. 1 year is the age when a personality is already beginning to form, and memory - carefully put aside everything that it receives from the outside world. It is dad who should show the baby the basics of the basics. Starting with how to go to the toilet (mom is not able to teach this by her own example), and ending with how to talk with the ladies.
You do not need to have special knowledge to know how to raise a boy as a gentleman. It is enough to teach simple rules of etiquette from an early age. For example, ordinary words:
- thanks;
- you are welcome;
- bye;
- Hello.
They are simple, but must always be present in the adult's speech, the baby will copy them, gradually realizing what’s what. In addition, from an early age it is worthwhile to teach boys to protect girls, to give in to them and to help. But at the same time, to defend one’s position and analyze this or that situation fairly and correctly. Of course, it will not turn out right away. But in order to know how to properly raise a boy, you have to act by trial and error. Something will be effective, something - not very.
One thing is certain: the categorical prohibition method cannot be used. All educators and psychologists refused him because he gives only a negative result. Compromises must be sought even with a very young child. Before raising a boy as an example, dad will have to pay attention to himself and his behavior. Perhaps something needs to be adjusted.
As for single mothers, then you should strictly limit yourself. You can not transfer the image of your ideal man (and everyone has it) to the baby. It is possible that as a result there is a risk of getting the exact opposite result. The main rule for single mother-educators of small gentlemen is not to spoil the child. You can not replace the absence of the pope with excessive pampering and forgiveness. When the boy is guilty, he must bear the most feasible punishment. This educational moment, like no other, teaches us to be responsible for our actions.
To know how to raise a boy as a man, there is no need to run around child psychologists. It is enough to tell him about who he is, why it is worth striving for justice. Only by personal example can we clearly demonstrate what is good and what is negative and evil.
