The bad behavior of children can be annoying, upsetting, and confusing for parents. Questions arise as to why the child is capricious, how to stop the hysteria and prevent it in the future. There are the most common causes of moodiness and how to deal with them.
Instructions
Step 1
If your child becomes hysterical for no apparent reason and does not calm down until he receives feedback from you, he may be lacking parental attention. As you know, for children, a negative reaction from adults is better than none at all. It is clear that mom and dad cannot constantly deal only with the baby. They also have important things to do. This means that in front of them you need to pay attention to the child for half an hour. Then it will be easier for the baby to survive the fact that he is not in the center of attention of the parents, and he will be able to play himself, and not throw a tantrum.
Step 2
It happens that the kid is openly hooligan and does something to spite his parents. This behavior speaks of the need for the child to feel like a person. This is a common situation when raising a toddler in an authoritarian style. More often let the child assert himself, show independence. It would be nice to give him a certain area of responsibility in accordance with his age. These can be the simplest household chores and responsibilities that are assigned to the baby. When giving directions to your child, do so in a friendly tone and include a pretending alternative in the conversation. If you want your baby to go to sleep - do not order, but ask if he wants to sleep with or without light.
Step 3
The third reason for children's whims is poor health or lack of satisfaction of physiological needs. Do not hope that as soon as the child begins to speak, he will report that he wants to eat, sleep, suffers from a fever or headache. It is not uncommon for parents to suspect that one of these factors is the cause of the bad behavior. After all, adults can be quite irritable when they are tired, cold or hungry. What can we say about babies, for whom it is more difficult not only to control, but even to recognize their emotions and sensations.
