Common Child Behavior Issues
- Don’t ignore the sings when your children touch everything they see at stores and becomes adamant on buying them. It’s their way of saying “I want it and I should get it.” Since your children see you take things without a system, they assume it is okay. As a parent, you must teach them to put their wishes and desires at bay. They must understand that not all things they see and want are instantly purchasable. Let them know that you’re buying the list of necessary goods and not just something you want to pick up on the store.

- Children can sometimes become rude and impolite, instead of getting fascinated about it, don’t smile or laugh when it happens. Some parents think that when their kids act like grownups and talk firm about what they want, they are unbelievably smart. However, they aren’t. Show your kids the right manners and teach them the magical power of polite words. Consider making them say “please” when they ask for something. Always make sure that they end up saying “thank you” after receiving anything.
- When your children have the habit of interrupting others, telling them “not to” will become useless. And since they sometimes often don’t listen, you start to yell and punish them for that. But the thing is, it won’t make them feel guilty about it. Instead, the kids will continue to do what they do because they know they will eventually get used to the punishment and yelling. So might as well teach your children to wait for their turn in any conversation patiently. You can practice every day at home.

- Your children are sharing too much and don’t know when to stop. Sometimes it is like having an issue at home, work, or other people where you rant about it. A couple of days you heard the kids telling others almost everything you wished you didn’t say. It becomes frustrating because some of those words are not supposed to be spoken. Children don’t understand that there are pieces of information that they shouldn’t share with others. Let them understand the concept of having a “home secret.”
There will be a time that your kid will start to imitate you. Therefore, don’t get surprised when you happen to see negative habits on his system that looks exactly like yours.
