Здравствуй, Вика! Моему сыну Лёше – три года, в садик он не ходит, мы живём вместе с мамой, и с рождения его воспитывает бабушка. Внука она обожает и настолько избаловала, что ребёнок стал садиться на шею всем домашним.
Лёша совсем перестал слушаться, на прогулке может специально залезть в лужу, а когда бабушка его вытаскивает, начинает её отталкивать и даже плеваться. Слово «нельзя» он не понимает. Однажды после того, как сын изорвал новую книжку, муж отшлёпал его ремнём. Совсем не больно, скорее, чисто символически. Но ребёнок после этого больше часа заходился в истерике. Мы сейчас в полной растерянности, не знаем, как себя правильно вести, чтобы, с одной стороны, не порушить сыну психику, но при этом вырастить его хорошим человеком. Пожалуйста, подскажите, как нам быть.
Светлана УСТЮГОВА,

Дорогая Светлана! Вопросы, которые ты задаёшь, мучают многих родителей. Наказывать или нет? Если наказывать, то как? Браться ли за ремень или это только нанесёт ребенку вред?
Наказывать за проступки, пресекать дурные склонности, конечно, надо. Ребёнок должен привыкнуть к тому, что есть правила, которые необходимо соблюдать. Кстати, знание границ дозволенного важно и для самого ребёнка, это вносит спокойствие и упорядоченность в его жизнь. Но наказывать нужно уметь.
Ни один психотерапевт не скажет, что ребёнка, наказывая нужно бить. Ведь этим родители показывают своё бессилие, неумение добиться желаемого «цивилизованными» методами. Так что же делать, если малыш, к примеру, упрямо рвёт книгу, не реагируя на ваши слова? Шлёпнуть, поставить в угол? Самое правильное – взять книгу и убрать её в недоступное для малыша место, объяснив при этом, что книжка «обиделась» и не вернётся, пока он не попросит у неё поощрения.
Взрослым часто бывает трудно понять мотивы поведения ребёнка. В трёхлетнем возрасте малыш начинает активно проявлять своё «я», однако он ещё не способен испытывать чувства вины. Поэтому крики, угрозы, порка в этом возрасте – бессмысленны. Правила поведения можно прививать только через игру, поощрения, личный пример. А вот годам к пяти – шести уже будет эффективной демонстрация родительской «обиды» на плохие поступки малыша, а так же лишение его жизненных благ (мультиков, игрушек, сладостей, прогулки). Очень важно, чтобы ребенок чётко понимал, за что его наказывают, и как долго будет длиться наказание. Ни в коем случае нельзя говорить: «Больше никогда не будешь смотреть телевизор» и т.д. Лучше укажите конкретно: «Я лишаю тебя любимой телепрограммы на три дня».
И самое важное – наказывать детей нужно без злобы, сохраняя самообладание. Малыш должен чувствовать, что мама и папа при любой ситуации очень его любят, а если наказывают, то для того, чтобы помочь ему стать хорошим человеком.
