More often than not, adults who have a difficult child growing up find it difficult to believe that the baby himself wants to be in a good mood. And this is only due to the fact that the child spends most of the time in a bad mood. Adults sometimes even think that their child is enjoying it. In fact, this is not the case.
Instructions
Step 1
Children want happiness, they just do not always understand what is needed for this. Therefore, they are mostly depressed. The task of the parents is to remind the baby what a good mood is. And you need to start with encouragement.
Step 2
Encouragement works as an incentive for good behavior, and this is not only for toddlers but also for adults. When a child receives something pleasant, or a smile, or a compliment, or a hug as a result of good behavior, that reward will delight him. The reward process develops new habits and over time turns into positive reinforcement. It is an effective action that helps to induce positive behavior in the child.
Step 3
Any child needs to be encouraged, but difficult children need it even more. They lack additional incentives to compensate for negative feelings towards themselves.
Step 4
Parents should distinguish between rewards and bribery. In the second case, the child knows that if he cries or collects toys, he will get what he wants. This most often has negative consequences. After all, to calm the child, praise alone is not enough, you have to use material incentives such as going to the store, buying toys or sweets. In such cases, this is bribery, which teaches the child to manipulate the parents rather than obey them.
Step 5
Praise is the best reward that you don't have to come up with in advance. It does not cost a penny from a material point of view, but it is very expensive from the side of the senses. The most important thing is that for children, it is more important than some kind of toy or candy. Of course, you can sometimes encourage the child with the help of gifts, this will not be worse, even in some situations, it will be better for further progress in behavior.
Step 6
Everyone is pleased to hear the praise addressed to them. It is especially important for toddlers to know that adults are proud of them. Praise has tremendous power. She means a lot to the child.
Step 7
Encouraging desired behavior has nothing to do with bribery and is therefore effective.
