Ideal children are rare. And they, on closer acquaintance, sometimes show negative character traits. Therefore, to perceive whims as a family disaster is a great exaggeration.
A huge upbringing mistake is indulging in whims. They are much easier to endure than all subsequent ones. If the baby is disobedient and, when asked for something, behaves almost inappropriately, this means that the parents once unwittingly encouraged such behavior.
How to reeducate a moody child
The best way to eliminate unwanted behavior is to show your child that all his whims are childish foolishness and inappropriate pampering. The ideal solution is to ignore. When a conflict situation arises, you need to:
- Keeping calm
- Don't get into an argument with your baby
- To prove nothing
- Outwardly be indifferent to antics
- Don't scream, don't hit the kid
During tantrums and whims, it is impossible to prove something to a child. Better to just keep quiet and limit yourself to rare "no". And when he calms down, it's time to start home negotiations. There should be no shouting or rudeness from the parent. It is enough to tell the child about the feelings experienced: how he upset, how you want him to behave more maturely and not repeat such tricks.
What are the benefits of such a simple approach?
When whims happen for the first time, things will probably end pretty quickly. Children learn such lessons and no longer try to manipulate adults. However, attempts can sometimes be repeated, especially by adopting the experience of peers who knock out anything from their parents by throwing tantrums. But soon the child will stop behaving this way. He will know that such a number will not work in his family.
