There is no universal formula for parenting: How to overcome children's stubbornness

 Going shopping and agreeing on a possible choice in time will certainly not result in an inappropriate reaction





A defiant child very often questions the limits of his own parents and environment. It is important to know that there are possibilities to overcome defiance, to mitigate it or to bring it under control.


Are the times we live in, the pace and the responsibilities we have, just a drop that spills over in situations when our little ones, defying the moment, our weakness, fatigue and unpreparedness, demand that we react properly and well?


Timely warning


Announced outings can be beneficial because you can clearly define your expectations and possibilities for your child. Parents are often unable to satisfy their children's wishes due to financial difficulties. 


Going shopping and agreeing on a possible choice in time will certainly not result in an inappropriate reaction.


Negotiating


With slightly older children, try to come to an agreement, be allies, give the child the opportunity to decide which one he wants between two little things. If you go shopping with a small child, experts advise that you give the child something to entertain himself, whether it's a toy he likes or a pastry to nibble on while you shop.


The compromise


Patriarchal parents would certainly not agree with the word compromise. Strict rules do not make children considerate, but, on the contrary, cause spite, anger and defiance in the child. Be a consistent parent and if you give in to your demands from time to time, it does not mean that you lose your authority in the end. 


With a smaller child, in situations that can lead to failure, it is good to use the "attention diversion" strategy. Some little ones while visiting the store, the moment they see one of the toys, they simply stick to the shelf. In such and similar situations, it is good to pick up the child and move him away so that he can focus his attention on something else.

These three foods slow down metabolism: One is almost unavoidable daily

 Many seasonal favourites, who we often reach for during the warm months, can have a hidden negative impact on our health. Summer is a time to enjoy - whether it's beach parties, barbecues or simply enjoying treats under the sun. However, many seasonal favorites, which we often reach for during the warm months, can have a hidden negative impact on our health, especially metabolism. High-calorie foods and drinks and highly processed ingredients can slow the body's ability to burn fats and convert food into energy, leading to unwanted weight gain.

Anger negatively affects health: It can cause numerous problems

 This emotion promotes the release of stress hormones, which can harm heart health over time. Anger isn't just an unpleasant emotion, it can negatively affect your health. Damaging effects While anger can serve as a warning signal and motivate us to do something, it often involves a sense of hostility towards someone or something that has caused us trouble. If anger is experienced too often, intensely or too long, or if it seems a disproportionate event that has caused it, it can have adverse effects on our well-being and health. This emotion activates the physical reaction of “fighting or escape”, which causes adrenal glands to release stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. This leads to physiological changes such as an accelerated heart rate and elevated blood pressure, which prepares the body for “combat or a” escape. While this stress reaction has evolved to protect us, most everyday situations (like traffic jams or minor conflicts) do not require such high energy leve...
