How to Educate a Child Who Always Disagrees

Question

How can I educate a child who always disagrees? My son often disagrees with others, and how should I educate him in daily life?

Answer

A child’s behavior of always disagreeing might be due to their intelligence, restlessness, and willingness to admit mistakes. Their affectionate behavior towards other children may stem from intimacy, but they lack self-discipline. It’s normal for them to repeat mistakes, and they need the patience of their parents to remind them. It’s important that parents do not over-intervene and set too many rules, as this can make the child feel lost. To cultivate honesty in a child, as honesty is crucial for their future development. Create a relaxed, cheerful, democratic, and harmonious family atmosphere; frequently convey the message that “being honest is important”; satisfy the child’s reasonable needs and wishes; have the correct educational methods; establish rules and enforce them strictly; and adults should lead by example.
