I have met with many parents and found that the\ndifficulty most parents face is not that they do not understand their\nchildren's feelings and needs, or that they do not know how their behavior\naffects their children, but that it is difficult to maintain a trusting and\noptimistic attitude towards their children when they are in a situation. Often,\nparents become increasingly anxious as they worry that their child's\nproblems will continue and worsen, and repeat ineffective ways of dealing\nwith their child's problems.<\/p><p class=\"p2\">So, how can parents maintain the best mental state to face the stress and\nchallenges of disciplining their children? Here are some tips for parents to\nconsider:<\/p><p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">1. <\/span>1. Be more sensitive to your own stress levels<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p2\">Parents are human beings, so there will be times when they are depressed\nor physically and emotionally exhausted. The purpose of parents being\nsensitive to their own mental state is to remind themselves that they need\nto take care of their own needs first. It is difficult for parents to be sensitive\nand responsive to the needs of their children when they are in a highly\nstressed state. Conversely, inappropriate responses may harm the child and\ndamage the parent-child relationship.<\/p><p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">2. <\/span>2. Use resources effectively to relieve stress<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p2\">When parents feel stressed, they should try to explore and make good use\nof their own internal and external resources to regulate their negative\nemotions. For example, find family members or friends to talk to, do things\nthat can relax you, and find positive thoughts and beliefs to encourage you.\nThe purpose is to give yourself a proper rest and temporary relief from\nstress.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04e556b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"04e556b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eff82f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eff82f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"751\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image5-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6862\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image5-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image5.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a5fbba elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9a5fbba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">3. <\/span>3. Turn your mind around and reflect<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\">If a parent's stress continues and increases, professional help is needed.\nSometimes, these pressures come from more than just external influences.\nParents' self-worth, worldview, and perceptions of things can affect how\nwe parent. For example, some parents worry that they are not doing enough\nto fulfill their parental responsibilities and end up pushing their children to\nstudy or participate in activities, or even that they are not flexible enough\nto respond to their children's needs when they are stressed and negative. If parents are aware of and take care of their own feelings and needs, they can\nprevent their negative emotions from affecting the next generation.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Therefore, parents who love their children must first love themselves. Only\nwhen parents are healthy and happy can their children grow up healthy and\nhappy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":6822,"template":"","class_list":["post-6819","parenting_articles","type-parenting_articles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/parenting_articles\/6819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/parenting_articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/parenting_articles"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/parenting_articles\/6819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7498,"href":"https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/parenting_articles\/6819\/revisions\/7498"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elchkcw.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
