Raising children is a challenging journey for parents. And when the couple has different views on the educational method, it will form a conflict that is difficult to resolve, causing stress in the family. If not resolved properly, these disagreements can affect the development of children.
Accordingly, the 5 basic but effective solutions below that couples can refer to to come up with a suitable solution in raising children.
Listen to each other's opinions
Each wife or husband has a different perspective on raising children, starting from an educational background and having their own experiences.
Therefore, each person should reduce their ego to listen to the other person's point of view and thereby discuss to find a common solution instead of fierce debate.
Unifying common principles
Setting common principles in raising children is especially important. Parents should unify the general principles in raising children, from educational methods to daily eating and playing to help children have stable and healthy development, both physically and mentally.
Flexible teaching methods
There is no one-size-fits-all approach, so parents should be flexible in teaching their children and adjusting them to suit their circumstances. The cooperation between parents and children will help both sides achieve a positive result, in line with the set goals.
Avoid conflicts affecting children
Controversy between parents in raising children can greatly affect the psychology of young children. Parents should limit expressing disagreements in front of their children and instead need to discuss in private to find reasonable solutions, and bring the best to children.
Learn and learn from experience
Consulting psychologists, or reading books on raising children as well as attending courses for parents will be an effective way to open up knowledge and help couples gain more experience.
When learning and gaining experience together, parents will be able to create the best environment for their children's development.
