The child is full of enthusiasm to learn and study this world, curiosity and experiments are whipping in him. Can a child, fascinated by the game, learning everything around, still think about the fact that you can't get your shorts dirty, poke around with your hands too, and in general you need to walk carefully, like in a museum? NO.
Someone will object that there are children … There are, but only on one condition: the fear of getting dirty, the fear that he will be scolded, punished, blocks all his curiosity, all desire to study and explore this huge world around.
When you are anxious or afraid of something, do you have the energy to do something, study, develop? Hardly. Even more so for a child! A child can become correct, comfortable, but only at the cost of development. Is it worth it?
And answer honestly: Does a child get dirty on purpose, out of spite?
Are soiled shorts worth a ruined relationship and your nerves?
After all, in fact, dirty clothes and creating conditions for development are not at all the responsibility of the child.
And often the parents who themselves received such an experience in childhood are constantly pulling at the child. And the very words that once wounded you can now automatically fly out of your mouth.
In addition, rarely a child can get dirty on the street so that ordinary powder and a washing machine cannot cope with it.
But if you still find it hard to see dirty clothes. This is fine. I understand. Maybe then just pick up clothes in which you can get dirty? And keep the "front door" separately.
After all, if not in childhood, then when?
Remember that the preschooler's brain is not yet ripe to hold several emotions, thoughts and impulses in the head at the same time. A child, carried away by a game or other activity, is simply not able to remember anything else, let alone clothes. This is physiology, nature!
Yes, there are situations when you are in a decent place, and the child runs to where it is dirty. But then just think about what you can do to avoid it? To which you can calmly, benevolently switch the child, remembering that he does not do it out of spite, not because he is bad and not well-mannered, but because his brain cannot yet surrender to the game, while remembering all the "must" and " right "at least up to 5-7 years. Either one or the other.
And further. Think back to yourself as a child. Remember this spirit of adventure, exploring the world around you.
How did your parents react when you got dirty? What words did they say? How did you feel about it? Have you felt bitterness or injustice? Maybe everything inside you shrank from screaming and resentment? Pause and feel that state.
Now think, what words would you like to hear from your parents then? Remember them.
And returning to the question in the title. I hope you already know the answer: the child will learn to be more careful with age himself.
