What factors are responsible for children developing bad habits?

From the moment a child is born, his words and actions are influenced by his surroundings.

So in order to find the reasons why children develop bad habits, it is inevitable that we must start from the environment he is exposed to.

Internal environment

The internal environment is mainly the family environment in which the child grows up.

The influence of the family environment mainly comes from the adults who have been with the child for the longest time and have the greatest influence on the child's growth. It could be biological parents, grandparents, or even a nanny.

How are children's bad habits formed step by step?

Reason 1 Imitation

Adults are the role models for children, and they can be good or bad role models.

The child will constantly imitate the behavior of adults, if the adults always watch TV and play cell phones, the child how to develop a good habit of reading and learning; if the adults are always unkempt and lazy, the child how to learn to be neat and hygienic, hardworking and down-to-earth.

There are many examples of adult influence on children in reality: grandmothers take children to dance, grandfathers take children to write brushstrokes, and parents take children to play with cell phones.

The child is the epitome of the adult, and the bad habits that the child exhibits must be traceable in the adult.

Reason two Indulgence

Real life, many adults are very pampered their children, even to the extent of spoiling, when the child shows a bad way of behaving, still continue to indulge.

Once on the Internet, I saw a three-year-old boy at the banquet skillfully give everyone a toast to their own drink, the movement of skillful degree is obviously on such occasions is commonplace, adults not only do not correct, but also find it very interesting to put on the Internet to show off, proud of.

And many children, as a child, made a mistake broke into trouble, adults repeatedly condoned, children do not have to bear the consequences of mistakes, will not understand the boundaries of the error, grew up more and more intense, until they embarked on the path of irreparable crime.

External environment, mainly in addition to the family outside the social environment. Including teachers, classmates, friends, strangers and other social influences, as well as the virtual world of online games, videos and other dissemination of some of the distorted values brought about by the impact. All these may induce children to develop bad habits.

Examples abound of children who were originally good at school but suddenly became addicted to online games and ended up dropping out of school.

There is also the influence of some child stars, Netflix culture, etc., it is easy for children to form unhealthy values, and at a young age, they compare themselves to others, do not study hard, and want to take shortcuts.

The influence of the external environment is unavoidable, but it can be intervened and corrected, the key is the need for adults to be careful and patient.

A child is born like a blank sheet of paper, and the parents are the ones who draw on it. What habits the child will develop are inseparable from the parents' behavior. If the child grows up with good habits and healthy values. Even with the influence of the external environment, they will be able to make their own judgment rationally.

So, if you want your child to develop good habits, words are better than teaching by example, and teaching by example is better than teaching by circumstance!
