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.

Emotional binge eating: It's important to recognize the problem and turn to experts

 Stress can make a break in our eating habits. When we talk about the connection between mind and body, we talk about the relationship between our psychological and physical health. It is widely known that emotions and thoughts can have a significant impact on our body. One area where this connection is particularly evident is a man's relationship with food. Food for comfort and emotional overeating are examples of how mindset and emotion sometimes shape our eating habits. Chronic diseases Our intestines are one large matrix that works in the subconscious and collaborates with the brain. When it comes to a certain kind of stress, the brain needs more energy than usual, so then it borrows it from the gut. However, long-term stress periods are no longer a matter of energy adjustment and savings, but a risk that leads to various intestinal diseases and chronic diseases. Stress, boredom, dejection, or even too much luck can make a real break in our eating habits. In doing so, our r...

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.

If you have this health issue, avoid watermelon in a wide arc.

Watermelon is full of natural sugar, which can cause a spike in blood sugar. Watermelon is rich in magnesium, zinc, potassium and vitamin B. It is abundant in proteins, and has very few calories, and you can enjoy it to your heart's content without a guilty conscience. Watermelon consumption promotes weight loss, and it is believed that it may have anticancer effects. The medium-sized watermelon contains about 92 per cent water, so it's a great option to be hydrated on hot summer days. A 2019 study, which examined the effects of watermelon consumption on satiety and body weight in overweight and obesity in adults, found that those who consumed two watermelon slices daily over four weeks felt less hungry and lost significantly more weight than the group that consumed low-calorie cookies. Yet despite being so healthy, it's not suitable for all people, writes Web MD. However, nutritionists warn that consuming watermelon for one group of people is not the best, and it i...
