What to do if your child is being rude: 3 tips for parents

01.11.2023 03:30

Not all children show politeness and respect to their parents.

Some boys and girls often respond rudely to their mom and dad.

Even an obedient child who is very scared of something or upset about some event can be rude to close relatives.

What should mom and dad do if their child is used to behaving rudely?

Firstly, you cannot be rude in response or seriously punish the child: such “methods” are unlikely to help re-educate the child.

Secondly, you need to pay attention to the recommendations below.

Become polite yourself

It is possible that the child began to be rude and use bad words because of his parents.

If mom and dad themselves often argue and are rude, then you shouldn’t count on the child’s good behavior.

Parents should not set a bad example for their son or daughter.

Spend more time with your child

Perhaps the baby began to be cheeky because of feelings of loneliness and emotional distance from his parents.

You can't pay enough attention to your child because you're busy? Fix the situation immediately!

Every day, set aside at least 30 minutes to talk to your child. A child who feels supported by mom and dad will most likely stop being rude.

Set a rule

If the above methods do not "work", you will have to tell the child: "I understand that you are upset. But I will not talk to you until you stop being impudent."

As soon as the baby calms down, you need to try to find out what caused the rudeness. At this point, try not to "pressure" the child psychologically.
