Hot yard “disputes” are inevitable at any age. And our task as parents is to teach the child to protect himself/herself if necessary, while respecting the rights of another person.

Here are some tips that you should definitely tell your child in order to guide him/her on the right path:

📍 Do not let anyone violate your rights: no one has the right to force you to act against your will, to humiliate or hurt you. Be prepared to defend yourself with words and actions.

📍 Believe that everything will be fine. Optimistic people perceive the world easier and attract positive people to themselves.

📍 Fighting is not the best way to resolve a situation. Very often, words are more effective.

📍 Ask for help if you need it. Children should know that under no circumstances will their parents leave them alone in a difficult situation.

📍 Go in for sports. Sports help boost children’s self-confidence while at the same time developing their patience and endurance.
