For some reason, many parents believe that children should always behave sensibly, thoughtfully, and like adults.
But this is simply impossible.
For a child, mischief is a normal form of activity and even socialization, experts believe.
How parents should respond to their child's unwanted behavior
Calmly explain how to behave
This should be done without shouting, threats or undesirable expressions. Just try to convey in an accessible language the fact of what kind of behavior you want to see from him.
More activity
If you understand that the mischief is connected with the fact that the child has a lot of energy and there are no ways to “neutralize” it, then you need to come up with some.
Exercise together, teach your children active games, go out on foot more often. You can also look for a sports section for especially active children.
Set boundaries
Children must clearly understand what behavior is within the normal range and what clearly goes beyond it. It is the parents who must explain this issue.
Don't be dramatic
It is important to remember that small children are always playful and active: this is human nature. As they move into middle school, mischief and undesirable behavior will become much less frequent.
