I lose patience a lot with my children, how can I learn to develop it?
There are people with less patience than others, and sometimes younger children can put it to the test. We help you have a healthier relationship with them.
Being parents is not an easy task . As much as we have read information and believe that we are fully prepared to educate our children , until the time comes we cannot predict what will happen.
Although we love our little ones no matter what, we always want them to have the best education possible and controlling a little person who is still growing is very difficult.
We cannot always control what our child learns from other people or when he is away from home, so we must have a good and constant education so that he does not develop behaviors that will make us even more nervous in the future.
However, a good and correct education does not imply that we should lose patience and speak to our children in a way that can hurt them enormously and hinder this learning process. At PregDream we tell you how to learn to develop patience with our children if we tend to lose it frequently.

WHY LEARN TO CONTROL NERVES WITH CHILDREN
We must control our nerves in front of our children, since when we lose them we tend to have violent reactions and bad words that, although they do not come to hurt them physically, they can do a lot of damage psychologically . Normally, when the nerves are lost, things that are not felt are also said and we may think that children do not remember these events because they are small, but the truth is that the bad memory can remain forever.
Another factor that we must take into account when losing our nerves is that young children repeat all the words and actions of the older ones, so if they see you lose their nerves frequently and yell , he or she will develop the same actions and they will tend to repeat it in public, even mentioning that it is you, the father or mother, who has taught them this behavior and you will have no reason to refute them, since you have shown them this way of acting.
It is also important to bear in mind that no father and mother will have the same opinion during the education of your children, so it is normal that sometimes you do not agree on some aspects. However, we should never make it clear to the child that our differences as parents make us lose our nerves and get angry , since he may feel bad because the reason for the loss of your nerves and the bad words and actions are supposedly caused by him .
Thus, losing our temper only makes our behavior worse and the child is confused and anxious, so we are not correcting his actions or improving his education. The only way we can improve their behavior is by always staying calm and in full control of the situation.
HOW TO LEARN TO DEVELOP PATIENCE
Normally, we tend to lose our nerves the first time our child performs an act beyond our control or unexpected. However, over time we must learn to harden ourselves with these experiences and not let this happen again, that is, the child will not stop surprising us, since he not only repeats our actions, but also those that he learns from day to day and contact with other people (your schoolmates, our friends, television, etc.). Therefore, he will always do something that may seem wrong to us, since we all need our learning process and we make mistakes.
We cannot treat a child like an adult , so if we talk to him losing our temper and nerves this will have a much more negative effect on him than on someone our own age.
We can talk to people we trust, such as the children’s grandparents, our partner or very close friends about the way our children make us lose our nerves. This third person will see it from a distance and will be able to give us the best advice to deal with the unexpected reactions and the nerves that so many tricks can do to us.
Finally, in addition to putting ourselves in the child’s shoes and talking about them with other people, we must think about our mental health. Going over a lot of nerves is totally harmful for us, so if we don’t want to hurt ourselves we must also learn to develop patience for our own good.
If we see that we feel under a lot of pressure we should learn to disconnect and relax . You do exercise will help us feel less tense and sleep eight hours we will be highly beneficial. In addition, dedicating a little time to ourselves will also make us see the behaviors of our children from a different perspective and we will be able to understand their attitudes to be able to channel them in the appropriate way, without losing patience.
In cases where it is very difficult for us to learn to develop patience with our children, we can consult the help of a professional who, better than anyone, will give us the best advice to develop our patience, thus giving our children the best education, making them feel respected and dear.
