I’ll never forget the first time my oldest son, who is six-year-old, got very angry because I wouldn’t buy him a new toy car, and shouted out the words, “I hate you, Mom.” I felt the mixture of emotions most parents do. Part of me was tempted to laugh because I knew he didn’t mean it – he was just parroting something he’s heard from his friends. But another part of me was crying and upset.
我永远不会忘记我六岁的大儿子第一次生气的时候, 因为当时我不同意给他买新玩具车,于是他大喊道:“妈妈,我很你。”就像所有的父母一样,我当时情绪非常的复杂,我一边想笑,因为他本意不是恨我,他只是在模仿他听同学说过的话;同时, 另一个我很伤心很难过。
“I hate you.” is just the first of many personal attacks our kids throw when they’re angry with us. As they grow, there may be many conflicts between children and us moms. Here are some tips to deal with them.
当孩子对我们愤怒时,他们向我们发起攻击,“我很你”仅仅是其中的一种方式。随着他们渐渐长大,孩子和我们妈妈之间会有更多的冲突。下面给大家介绍几种应对方法。
Don’t Overreact(过度反应)
Though it’s very hard not to boil over at moments like these, the best way to come through our children’s expressions of hatred towards us is to focus on the emotions, not the words. Stay calm, and do not start an argument.
当这种情况发生的时候,让你保持冷静不要大怒是很困难的事情,但对于孩子表达针对我们的愤怒,最后的解决办法就是只关注孩子们的情绪,而不是他的这句话。保持冷静,不要和孩子争吵。
Ask for Their Ideas(征求他们意见)
Take action only after your child has aired their entire list of complaints. By asking your child to come up with a specific solution, you’re putting the ball in their court. Not only do they feel you value their opinion, but they also have the challenge of coming up with something that will make themselves feel better.
在孩子发泄出所有的抱怨愤怒后立即采取措施。征求孩子的意见,是否自己能有具体的解决办法,让他们自己解决问题。这样做,不仅让他们感觉你尊重他们的意见,而且他们还能体会到自己解决问题的乐趣和所要面临的挑战。
End with Love(永远有爱)
It’s also comforting for kids to heat that we all have feelings of intense anger, even hatred, but that these are natural and don’t last long. “Even when I’m angry at you I still love you,” I told my sons when they were little, and they still repeat this back to me after our fights. Kids of all ages need to be reminded that once the storm stops, they’ll find themselves in a harbor where they are safe and loved.
让孩子强烈感觉到我们有类似的情绪,比如生气、愤怒,这些负面情绪都是很正常的,但不能持续太久。这样他们会感觉舒服些。“即使你我生你的气,我依然爱你。”在孩子们很小的时候,我就这样告诉他们,现在他们大了,他们会在我们争吵后用同样的方式来对待我。所有年龄段的孩子都应知道,一旦暴风雨过后,他们孩子那个充满爱心的安全的港湾里,---- 家永远是温暖的,妈妈永远都是爱他们的。
解析:人的情绪并不是只有快乐,还有愤怒、恐惧和悲伤,他们同样是非常重要的情绪情感。我们要学会尊重孩子的负面情绪,鼓励孩子表达自己的感受。有的家长认为孩子说“我恨你”岂止是不礼貌、不尊重,那简直是大逆不道、不孝敬的事情,是不道德的事情—人是不应该有恨的。其实不然,这只是孩子最最真实的心情,让孩子说出他的愤怒,短暂的愤怒,在你接受他的愤怒的同时,他感受你的无条件的爱,慢慢地,他会学会如何爱你,爱自己,爱他人。愤怒是情绪的一部分,是孩子的一部分,接受了他的愤怒, 接受了他的负面情绪,才是真正意义上的接受孩子。在这个过程中,孩子慢慢学会调整情绪,接受自己, 包括快乐的自己和愤怒的自己。如果一个人来你恨都不敢说的人,他是没有力量去爱的----如果把一个人的情绪看作一个总体,一个相对稳定固定的量, 如果他表现出来的是爱, 那他留在心里的愤怒、恐惧和悲伤会多一些。为了保持一个长久的情绪平衡状态,适当的表达你的负面情绪----说出你的愤怒。
举例一:
儿子要求买迪加玩具,妈妈拒绝,儿子生气;“妈妈,我讨厌你。” 妈妈微笑,“我知道,妈妈没有满足的你的要求—不给你玩具,你很生气,但我知道,一会你就会又爱我了。”最后,补充道“妈妈永远爱你。”
举例二:
儿子学小朋友说脏话,妈妈反对。儿子说,“妈妈生气,不喜欢我了。”妈妈解释:“妈妈不喜欢你这么做,但妈妈依然喜欢你,永远都爱你。”
