the
Choose the best habit will make it pleasant and easy.
(Pythagoras of Samos)

raising a child is a long and emotional process for parents. Every parent would like to create not just a comfortable environment for your child, and the conditions rewarding environment, being in which the child will acquire the right to his life experience.

Wise parents adhere to the principles of gradual and phased in teaching children to good habits. So, if the parents want the child to eat less sweets or chocolate, they give him more fruits, gradually understanding which of them he eats them with great pleasure, it's about gradualism. Phases - a complication of levels of implementation of tasks: the first stage – introduced into the diet of fresh fruits and candied fruits, the second stage, fully exclude the chocolate, or stipulated, the day that you can eat it.

Such parental wisdom allow you to create a comfortable environment for the development of healthy habits.

There are time-tested rules that help the children easier to learn good habits, it's: repetition, emotional reinforcement, habits, number of formed habits, the age of the child. Let's consider each rule in more detail.

"repetition is the mother of learning" - says the proverb, and indeed it is! If we introduce for child social habit – to keep clean Desk, then at least within 21 days (that's how much skill is reinforced in long term memory), we remind the child that after he has done all the homework, he clears the table. Daily we work with this task. The rule applies not only for homework, but after creative exercises and games, we tirelessly repeat: "the Table should always be clean!". When we see that child more often he remembers the order on the table, we will celebrate and praise him for his work!

Emotional reinforcement is, then, what mood the child performs the new action. Parents should consider how they will remind the child about the habit, if he's forgotten about it. Sharp criticism and negative comments, will not contribute to a positive attitude towards a new case with the child. Positive motivation to perform a particular task can be found for a child of any age! Just parents should consider in advance the reasoning of why the child to perform a new action.

the Use of habit – it is just a conversation and reinforcement of correct actions, they are systematic, note that the child creates a comfortable environment for yourself, your health, your environment or personal space. Parents, it is important at the stage of preparing the child for learning a useful habit, to explain the benefit to him, it is possible to illustrate clearly. The habit of brushing teeth morning and evening, can be fixed with the Hollywood smile one of his favorite actors, or cartoon characters. Show a picture of carious and decayed teeth, as a negative motivation is not always necessary, it is more important to dwell on positive moments.

the Number of developing habits at a time no more than three. The child will be easy, if the new good habits are not consistent, and disbanded in a day.

the age of the child will directly affect the quality and speed of learning habits. For children of primary school age has the meaning of habit forming in a phased manner, not expecting quick results. More development of habits occurs if it is fixed visual chart or a drawing-a memo that reflects and reminds the child what to do and what time!

And most importantly, dear parents! Do not forget about personal example! Requiring fulfilment of the obligations which we avoid ourselves, we should not wait for their fastening and a positive assessment of the children!
