PARENTING ADIVCE ON HOW TO RAISE A WHINER!!
Ever get tired of hearing your children whine? Complain? Grumble? Well below are five suggestions on how to encourage that behavior and raise them to be an adult whiner and complainer!!
1. Give in to your whiner.
Reasoning with and eventually giving in to your little whiner encourages their resolve to
continue their demands.
2. Scream back at them.
Now your whiner knows they have your attention.
3. Grumble and complain about your problems in front of your children.
while you’re at it, never let your child hear you express thankfulness for anything.
4. Shield your child from difficulties and pain. Getting one’s own way without challenges or
difficulties teaches valuable lessons, such as the “me first” and “I deserve” attitudes.
5. Blame others.
This allows the child to get away with just about anything because everything is someone
else’s fault.
Now surely, you know these five things listed are the TOTAL opposite of how to parent. But you know what? As a teacher I see this over and over again. I am beginning to especially see #4 and #5 on a regular basis. Parents that engage in this behavior will have huge problems down the road as their children age and will especially reap negative benefits when they become young adults and are unable to cope with the realities of life.
Living your best life includes good parenting skills. If you’re raising children now, consider these behaviors…examine your own. If you’ve already raised a family and are now playing a role in grandchildren’s lives, this is still very important not only for you, but for you to encourage your grown children to avoid these type behaviors.
We have a huge responsibility as parents and grandparents to raise children to cope with life and be responsible, contributing members of society. Do a quick evaluation and make sure you are avoiding these types of behaviors and start living your best life now!!
