Using Child Psychology Wisely For Children's Behavior Problems A friend of mine teaches English to eight year old Italian kids. She is well aware of child psychology especially as it relates to language learning. She helps them learn through activities, games and so on and they have great fun in class.Her only problem is that the parents insist that she teaches their kids grammar! She has pointed out that grammatical concepts are not within the grasp of an eight year old so it is useless to take a grammatical approach. Unfortunately the parents do not seem to believe her.This is a lesson for us parents as regards child psychology and children behavior problems. You see, we sometimes use adult reasoning and logic and we fail in helping our children to grow into kind and responsible adults, simply because of an ignorance of child psychology or what is actually going on in the child's brain.

Child Behavior Books - Selection Criteria To Help You Choose the Best When we are looking for really good child behavior books, we need to keep a few things in mind. First we need to look at the reviews and then assess whether this could really solve our child behavior problems.I was very interested to read Robert McKenzie's book called Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child: Eliminating Conflict by Establishing Clear, Firm, and Respectful Boundaries . This book really is an eye opener because it focuses first and foremost on parents' behavior and how that can exacerbate and sometimes even fuel the flames of bad behavior in a child.That really was a surprise for me and taught me a lesson or two. Dr.McKenzie takes us through the whole concept of actually putting the consequences of bad behavior into practice and being consistent. Another surprising fact is that my instructions were totally off the wall. I was not making myself clear at all and leaving loopholes for kids to test me. I was inviting them to question me, clarify and even bargain with me. I was so relieved to learn what to say and what not to say the next time a particular situation arose.Another...more
