A child can turn into a naughty little monster for a variety of reasons.
Sometimes disobedience is caused by stress or fatigue, sometimes – by the desire to attract the attention of parents. In this article you will find useful recommendations that will come in handy at times when it seems that children have completely gotten out of hand.
Be consistent
Have you promised something to your child? The promise must be kept – otherwise, trust in you will be lost and the child will stop obeying.
Do not use physical violence
Look for other methods of influencing the brat: instead of punishing physically, ask him to explain why the child does not want to listen to you and look for a compromise.
Listen to the child
If you listen to your child, there is a much higher chance that he or she will listen to you. Be interested in how your son or daughter is doing, ask questions, and don’t interrupt when you hear the answers.
Set rules and boundaries
Convey to your child information about acceptable and unacceptable actions and let him know what punishment awaits him for breaking the rules (it should not be harsh).
Encourage your baby
When a child behaves well and follows the established rules, he should be rewarded - for example, with a gift or words of encouragement.
