Stop Kids Bad Behavior in 4 Steps!
The problem is their behaviour, the one parents create without knowing it, the one they have to change. I must emphasize this because parents often believe they just have to say "no" to make kids bad behavior stop. Children need to understand things before making a change in how they react. The first thing they have to understand is that their parents' love for them is unconditional and that it's their bad behavior that is punished.
Kids bad behavior has for main reason their parents behavior. It's not easy to accept, I know that, but you shouldn't feel guilty about it. You're not born parents and you are doing your best with what you know. You need to learn more communication tools. If you feel ready to do something about your kid's bad behavior, applying the following 4 steps will be effective:
1. Be the adult you want your child to become. Watch your words and reactions, keep your promises. Don't neglect the little things you tell your child. He probably takes very seriously what you say. You are an example, the image of the adult world for your child, you're a reference. Always keep that in mind. Without principles, your child can't figure out what is wrong and what is right. When dealing with kids bad behavior, we can't blame the kids. It would be unfair and pretty useless.
2. When you say "no", don't expect a change in your child's behavior but rather explain what you say no to. You can and must have a firm tone to be listened to but keep your voice down.
3. Discuss this issue with your child before the bad behavior occurs. It's always better to prevent such behavior to happen than having to make it stop. When you go out somewhere with your child, just before leaving the house, tell him how you expect him to behave, that it is a condition. To help your child rethink his behavior and change it, discuss the consequences of each behavior when your child is calm and willing to listen to you.
4. Justify your role and the reason why you're the one who settles the rules. Because you are the parent, you know what is good for your child and you love your child. That's a reason. Tell him. Discuss the rules with him to help him understand and accept them. Kids bad behavior is often a result of a misunderstanding of the rules and punishments by the kids. They just find it unfair. You have to make very clear to your child the consequences of his behavior.
If you're patient and try not to loose your temper, applying these rules will be effective. Kids bad behavior can be overcame with the right communication tools.
But what if my situation is more difficult and my child's behavior intolerable?
When a bad behavior has already become a habit in your child or teen and that you have no control or authority over him anymore, some effective guidelines have to be applied by you. In such situation, you need more than just a few tips. The good news is that some parents and therapists created very effective parenting programs that you can easily apply.
You may want to visit this friendly website I've created with some parents called www.YourParentingHelp.com to find which method could be appropriate for your child. We actually selected the most effective program per age range (toddlers, children and teens) and give an honest and in-depth review of each.
With consistency and the right communication skills, any situation can be improved, no matter how hopeless it seems to you at the moment, I can assure you that.
