Recently, more than one parent asked me how to help his kid willingly get rid of the bad habit of carelessness. I think it’s necessary to share with you my experience in helping kids stop making careless mistakes. In fact, there are many careless children, but they are all different. For example, some are careless in homework, but not careless in exams. There are also children who are careless in the subject they are weak at, but not careless in the subject they are good at. No matter what the situation is, parents will be very anxious, and I understand the feeling of being a parent very much.

Many parents get anxious and may beat their children for carelessness. The child who is beaten answers: "I dare not, I change it!” But what is the result, he will behave as usual after two days. So how can we eradicate the child's carelessness?

In my opinion, the first thing you need to do is to remain patient and calm. As a parent, you shouldn’t be annoyed and label your child negatively. Even if a child is careless, you can’t always talk about it. If you always say, he will think that he is like this. In this way, your child’s carelessness will even get worse. If we react the other way round, play down his carelessness, and praise him immediately when he is careful. His subconscious mind will tell him that he is a careful child. By doing this, he will slowly develop in the direction of being careful. Do you believe it or not? Hope you can try it!

Besides, another thing you can do is give him some examples of incidents that are caused by carelessness. It will help your child get a clear understanding of how bad carelessness is. When he wants to avoid making careless mistakes, he will subconsciously do things carefully.

Try the above two suggestions and do get back to me to say how much they worked on your child.
