1. What is their goal / destination (this could be multiple - one for health, one for academics and one for swimming etc). Kids need to know where are they headed.
2. That the scolding & guidance from parents is always for their benefit.
Its like getting from point A to B. And the shortest distance is a straight line (most of us know that...else demonstrate). So each time the child is not moving ahead on the straight line and takes a detour ( changes direction, gets distracted, loses focus et all) , the mum knows the child needs a shake/ a reprimand or a reminder to get back on track. Else he will end up at point C which will take him away from B (the goal). And then going from C to B - may be time consuming, difficult or may be not possible!!!!
All the guidance & scolding are like bumpers on the bowling alley which the little ones use to make sure the bill ball stays does not fall off.
All the things parents say to their kids ( which the kids may not like sometimes) are in way for the parents benefit. Its selfless and for the good of children. When kids get this , there will be a lot more harmony in many homes.
( I am still waiting and my patience runs out very often!)
