| As parents, I do not believe that any of us sets out to raise a child that is disrespectful or bratty (无礼的). Here are some helpful tips on how to raise a bratty child so that you can have a child that will be a benefit to society. It doesn't take long for a toddler (学步儿童) to toddle right into trouble of some kind. This is the perfect time for parents to teach the child not to do that action again. 1_____ Helping a child to behave in an acceptable manner is a necessary part of raising the child well. Discipline is a useful teaching tool to guide a child. I think it's necessary to explain to children what responsibility means. Responsibilities mean the things you have to do. As parents, you should say to your children "If you play with your toys, it's your responsibility to put them away." Besides, coach your children in their responsibilities. 2_____ Children should use their time well. We can't let a child do the same thing again and again. When kids are bored, they can end up in trouble creating problems for themselves and others. 3_____ Children should be told not to waste their time and they should make full use of their time to do useful things. The children who are eager to increase their pocket money should be taught that money does not come easily. For example, when parents buy school lunch for their children, they should put this spending into children's pocket money. If children want to get much more money, parents can ask them to cook the lunch themselves. 4_____ Parents should let their children know how to be in charge of their "expenses" and manage their expenditure (花费). 5_____ It is your responsibility to help and guide your kids. So, the next time you see a bratty kid remember: they didn't get that way themselves, and they have parents who didn't take time to teach them. |
