To help a child recognize their mistakes without arguments and humiliation, parents should use the "sandwich" method. This approach aims to prevent future mistakes rather than focusing on past failures. Blogger Vladimir Shvets, who advocates for conscious fatherhood, explained the principle of this method on Instagram. It allows the child to receive support and love instead of criticism. This method consists of three parts:

Support

Start the conversation by expressing your love for the child and the importance of your relationship. For instance, say:

"I love you very much, and our relationship is important to me. That's why I want to discuss this."

Pointing out the issue

Explain how their actions affected you or others. For example:

"What you did caused me painful and negative emotions."

Advice for the future

Instead of reminding them of the mistake, offer a suggestion for similar situations. For example:

"In the future, try to act differently, keeping our conversation in mind."

This method promotes constructive dialogue, focusing on resolving the situation rather than on judgment. Shvets also quotes the author of the book "The Five Love Languages for Children," Gary Chapman:

"Before pointing out a mistake, tell the child that you love them, and that love is not dependent on their actions."
