5 Behavior Problems in Children That Should Not Be Ignored: The Response Must Be Immediate

11.03.2024 11:00

Not all of a child's pranks and whims can be ignored - some of them may have many motives behind them.

Therefore, the parent’s task is to react to such a “red flag” as quickly as possible, stopping unacceptable behavior, and in some cases, seeking help from a specialist.

The child interferes in the conversation of adults, interrupts and tries to switch attention to himself

Try to explain to your son or daughter that only ignoramuses demonstrate such disrespectful behavior. To make it clearer to your child, give an example: would he or she like it if, while watching a cartoon, you closed the TV screen and started talking loudly about something of your own.

The child tells something that did not happen

A small invention is a step towards a serious lie. To prevent this, praise your child more often for good behavior.

The child pretends not to hear what you say to him.

This behavior may be caused by a childish desire to win the championship, to fight with you for power. Shouting will not help - instead, first establish eye contact with the prankster. This trick will definitely work.

The child shows aggression during games

Never allow your child to hit, bite or scratch other children - if this behavior is allowed to go unpunished, the bully may grow up to be a real tyrant in the future.

The child takes without asking what he is not allowed to have.

Don't forget to make time in your busy schedule for conversations about rules of conduct. Let other family members and books help you with this, for example, "Harmful Advice" by Grigory Oster - which can (and should) be discussed together with the child.

Earlier we talked about why a father loses authority in the eyes of his children.
