The upbringing of a child begins as early as the mother's pregnancy. Family conditions, love, and relationships play a vital role in a child's upbringing. The formation of our inner qualities, our ability to direct our abilities, to find our place in life, depends on the family environment. It is especially important to teach our boys the right lessons from an early age in order to bring them up as real young men. Here are some of them:
Let him keep his promise!
Teach boys to “keep their word” from an early age. Promise to do what you can, and explain in a friendly way how important it is to keep your word and how it will work. Of course, this emphasizes that you trust him, and do not tire of repeating your pride every time he speaks.
Be strong, durable, strong!
Introduce the characteristics of boys (as resilient and strong). Explain that boys have unique qualities through various fairy tale characters, cartoons, positive characters in movies, or real-life examples. Explain in particular that boys should be involved in sports (or physical labor). In this way, you help your children to develop into a life-sustaining, resilient and strong person. If there are women at home and women at school, you will not achieve the desired result. After all, only our men can correctly explain and absorb the strong qualities of our young men.
Let him feel responsible!
Help build a sense of responsibility. Assign a task and explain that you are responsible for that task. Explain that if you take responsibility for a small task now in your youth, it will lead you to take on a big task with the same responsibility in the future. If he answers, "I can't do it, I can't do it," you should always trust your child, support him with your love, and say, "You can do it, I believe in you," and encourage him when he gets the result.
Have your say!
Teach them to make decisions. That is, he should have his own opinion. To do this, explain what the qualities of honesty, perseverance, kindness, envy, and zeal are in life. Form young people with these qualities by instilling in them an inner motivation for what to expect. Explain with examples that confidence, cheerfulness, inner fear, anger, jealousy, evil, deceit, and jealousy do not lead to success, but only to negative consequences.
What you get depends on your hard work!
Think seriously about your real relationship with your child. To do this, focus on what you are thinking or saying about your child. For example, avoid words like "You're not human," "You can't do it," "You act like a girl." Remember, no matter what you do, your thoughts will come true in life. Therefore, your intention is the seed you sow, and your harvest depends on your labor! Your attitude towards your sons is very important in building the self-confidence of our young men. That is, BELIEVE and CONFIDENCE that your child will become an adult! Help her find her place in life, and don't limit her to her dreams in life, depending on your circumstances. Teach them to decide their own lives.
My recommendations are simple, it will take years to implement. And today is the SAME time - let each of us take seriously the upbringing of our sons!
