All mothers dream of a cloudless relationship with their own children. To achieve this, they read books on how to build relationships with sons and daughters, resolve conflicts, and they certainly know how unacceptable it is to raise their voice at them and be too categorical.

But, as you know, there are exceptions to all the rules. Sometimes a moderate stiffness that does not go beyond reasonable limits is very helpful.

Of course, it does not in any way mean physical punishment. It is about defending her position by a mother with the sole purpose of not succumbing to provocation from her own child, directing his behavior and train of thought in the right direction and conveying that some of his actions are beyond the bounds of what is permissible.

In such cases, the mother is always right, and the best thing you can do is to remain adamant and strictly follow the chosen line of behavior until you achieve the desired result from the child. So in what situations does Mom’s stance deserve to be tough?

At first, in matters related to the safety and health of your child … Do you know that sweets are undeniable harm to the child's body, and your heart bleeds when you see how your beloved child devours chocolates one after another? Are exhortations and arguments that seem persuasive not working?

Feel free to take sweets and do not let childish tantrums confuse you. Immediate reaction and suppression on your part also require playing on the roadway, climbing windowsills, unwillingness to take medications, go to bed on time and brush your teeth, hours of sitting at the tablet and in front of the TV.

Undoubtedly, your dedicated service to the only goal - to raise a healthy child - will not find his understanding and is unlikely to cause delight, however, it is worth enlisting the support of your family and firmly following the plan.

Secondly, in situations when children show disrespect to their elders . On playgrounds today, you can often observe how kids aged one and a half years and older do unacceptable things towards their parents: beat them, swing them, and sometimes spit.

Moms are condescending to such actions, writing off the child's behavior by age, in the hope that over time everything will pass by itself. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Before the age of four, it is necessary to eradicate such episodes from your relationship, otherwise you have every chance to face the consequences of permissiveness at a later age.

Undoubtedly, you should also show your pedagogical talent and punitive potential even then, when children hurt animals and other representatives of the natural world or somehow otherwise offend them.

It doesn't matter if it's a dog, an ant or a caterpillar. The child must clearly understand that he has not the slightest right to take the life of a living creature, injure him, hurt him, tease him or endanger him.

The rules of respect for nature and its inhabitants should be clearly learned even by the smallest, because, unlike their sandbox friends, they are often completely defenseless. Be consistent and, after promising punishment, be sure to follow it.

The baby's tears, which are evidence of his protest against the prohibitions designed to reason with him, should not deter you from playing the role of a strict parent.

Fourthly, among the situations in which mom is always right, and those when child unreasonably and intentionally breaks his own or other people's things, toys, furniture or appliances.

For example, some children do this to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the decision or action of their parents, in other words, out of spite. Sometimes you can see a group of guys purposefully breaking a good toy, accidentally forgotten by someone on the playground, simply because in their understanding it is a draw.

Unconscious little children are still half the trouble, parents who are indifferently watching this are the root of the problem. Always toughly and promptly suppress such actions. Believe me, the younger the child and the less influence he is exposed to, the easier it is to explain to him that every thing has value and no one should spoil it just like that. This is one of those cases where toughness and persuasiveness shouldn't be skimped on.

Fifth, you can rightfully be completely adamant, when the kid requires immediate fulfillment his another whim, which even at a stretch has nothing to do with his real needs. At the same time, he expresses his dissatisfaction with parental disobedience with shocking antics, the number of which slowly but surely tends to infinity during the day.

A typical example of this behavior is when a child demands a new toy every day. You will be surprised, but there are parents who are in their right mind and memory and deliberately go to such blackmail. Perhaps they would be happy to stop this outrage, but excessive softness and pity force them to give up their positions.

This is a bad example to follow. Have the strength to be patient and resilient to stop such antics and not allow yourself to be manipulated. After all, here you are without a doubt right!

Someone will spread his arms and begin to assure that he does not see ways to win in a psychological duel with his own child, and you can influence him only by resorting to prohibited methods, such as assault, which sane parents, of course, try to avoid. For this reason, the matter does not move from the dead center, parental authority is being lost more and more year after year, and now situations in which the mother is always right for your child simply no longer exist.

Sad, isn't it? Meanwhile, there are many ways to build the right relationship between parents and children. As a last resort, you can always turn to specialists who will most likely help you understand the situation. Because mom has to be right, at least sometimes!
