What to do if your child is rude: 3 tips for parents
26.06.2023 10:14
If a child suddenly starts being rude to his parents, then mom and dad should be wary.
Don't rush to respond to rudeness with rudeness. First, you need to find out the reasons for the boy or girl's ugly behavior.
Perhaps the child has encountered some kind of problem, but is afraid to tell his parents about it, and instead “takes it out” on them.
In such a situation, the mother and father must adhere to three rules.
Do not punish the child or yell at him
Parents are unlikely to achieve anything by responding rudely. Most likely, the situation will only get worse.
The child will become more withdrawn and rude.
Understand the reasons for rudeness
Parents should find out why the baby started to behave strangely.
If you calmly ask your son or daughter leading questions, it is possible that the child will calm down and tell you everything honestly.
Perhaps a boy or girl is being bullied at school. Or some other unpleasant thing has happened.
Reward for politeness
If rudeness on the part of a child has become a systematic phenomenon and it is definitely not a defensive reaction, then parents should introduce a system of rewards for polite behavior.
For example, for every help or gratitude - a candy or a little pocket money.
For another rudeness - refusal to provide sweets or bills. But retaliatory rudeness will not lead to anything good.
