The purpose of parents interfering with their children's friends is nothing more than worrying that their children will be influenced by some bad behaviors of their peers, which will lead to their children being infected by such bad influences. The bad influence of peers should not be underestimated, but this does not mean that this is an all-round problem. I personally think that educating children should be strengthened from the aspects of children's own cognitive ability and the close relationship between children and their parents.
When children are young, they will form their own action ability by imitating and observing other people's behavior, so in this case, parents really need more patience to guide their children. But making friends is inevitable, so parents need to guide their children to make friends correctly and scientifically from their own perspective. Then, this means spending more time teaching children such self-control and discrimination, rather than restraining their behavior. If you can reach a very close relationship with your child, then he will trust what you have educated and enhance his cognitive ability. He will also consider it in the process of making friends, then distinguish right from wrong and resist some bad influences.
Excessive interference with children's friends will only make children feel that you are not respecting him, but limiting his personal freedom and the right to make friends. In this case, parents should not judge whether their children are worthy of making friends by their grades or personal growth, but should teach their children more discriminating ability to make friends with recognition or understanding. In this case, he can show his intention of making friends. At the same time, it can also cultivate children's strong heart and become broad-minded.
If the friends a child meets will really have a bad influence on him, then parents need to be patient with the child and don't stop him from making friends immediately. I believe that as long as a child knows the meaning of so-called friends and how to make friends worth making correctly, then he will take fewer detours and really gain friendship.
