Faced with changes in their children's pre-pubertal age, many parents do not know how to behave, wondering how to teach their 10-year-old son appropriately. Here are some suggestions:Caring for others The 10-year-old son is the time to have a deep understanding of kindness, sympathy, and how to show concern for others through actions and words. Parents should not only teach their children theory, but create conditions for them to practice, by going to charity, giving gifts to the elderly and orphans, sharing with the needy, giving in to the children.. You can also encourage your child to imagine, to put himself in the shoes of others to feel. If a child says "I don't know", don't be disappointed. Instead, suggest and ask for more details for your child to think and absorb.

Practice patience Your stubborn 10-year-old son will hate being reminded a lot, and theories will not work. Therefore, parents should experience with their children so that they can quickly and deeply understand the essence of the problem. For example, when your child does a difficult assignment and keeps asking you, don't rush to answer, but ask your child to read the question carefully, analyze the main idea, step by step to find the solution until the final result. Patience is a good virtue for a 10-year-old boy, creating a foundation so that when he gets older he can persist in pursuing his goals, even in difficult times.
Practice independence 10-year-old boy is no longer a baby for you to cuddle, pamper and protect. At this age, children can be independent in many things, especially personal tasks and help parents with housework. Let your children schedule their own study, clean their own room... Even though they can't do it quickly and are clumsy, you still have to let them do it, to avoid complacency. If the child has a harsh reaction, refuses to do it, parents should still patiently create a habit until the child accepts it. Just like when your child asks to come home late, ask the reason and be flexible to accept or not depending on the case. Studies show that if parents give their children more freedom and responsibility, children will learn virtues faster.
Determine goals Finally, parents do not let their children grow up living without purpose, without striving. Teach your 10-year-old son to set goals by encouraging him to dream and pursue his passion from an early age. Do not change your child's goals, because changing everything for him will make him dependent on you. When knowing how to identify goals, 10-year-old boys will know how to strive and overcome difficulties to complete their tasks.
10 years old is a period when children develop strongly both physically and mentally, so parents should spend a lot of time talking and caring to understand and have the most effective parenting methods.
