Being a parent is both great and challenging. After all, a huge responsibility lies on the shoulders: to bring up an educated and adapted to life person. And during this process, parents do not always understand how to behave with their child. Consider 4 types of child behavior that cannot be ignored.
This is perhaps the most common problem. And it happens most often because of the desire to avoid punishment and fear of authoritative parents. The prerequisites for deception can also be the need for attention or getting what you want.
Solution: First, the age of the child must be taken into account. Children under 7 years old have a rich imagination. Therefore, you should not forbid them to exaggerate or compose something (unless, of course, this does not harm relationships with people around). If the child is over 7 years old, then the concepts of honesty and trust should be explained to him. If a child is found to be cheating, it should be adequately punished so that the misconduct does not become the norm.
When a baby is a witness to some bad, unfair situation, he may deliberately keep silent about it. And there are several reasons for this: fear of possible troubles, the desire to teach someone a lesson, or the fear of being branded as a chatterbox. It all depends on the circumstances. But, in any case, the end here does not justify the means.
Solution: Parents need to talk to their child and explain the difference between being honest and covering up (or talkative). The main thing is not to judge the child, but to listen to him and try to solve the problem together.
Psychologists say that a child appropriates someone else's for two reasons: a lack of attention from family and friends and a low level of morality and will.
Solution: if the act has already been committed and made public, then it is very important for parents to remain calm. First you need to find out what became the motive for the child. Then you should ask to return the stolen thing and come up with an appropriate punishment. It is not necessary to use a belt, but the child should clearly understand that the consequences of theft are unpleasant. This will prevent the habit from forming.
Often, parents are amazed at how their children behave at the table: chomp, twitch, turn their heads, play with food. When meeting with adults, they do not say hello, they constantly get into conversation, whine. Such bad manners make a child blush and worry.
Solution: a child from two years old needs to explain the basic rules of behavior in society, in particular, at the table. If he is constantly naughty and whimpering, take his hand and ask him to wait until the adult conversation is over. He should also be taught basic courtesy. Say "please" when asked, "thank you" when receiving a gift. Say hello when meeting and say goodbye when parting. If the cheeky behavior is repeated, it is necessary to deprive the child of certain privileges, for example, to sit down at the table when the parents have already eaten or cancel the usual trip to the amusement park.
