Tips to stop misbehavior of children and make them listen to you.

This is the first blog post which I am writing after starting the blog. Having taken care of children and babies for the past decade I will like to share the steps which I use to tackle the playful and naughty child. First need for a parent to deal with playful child is lot of patience and politeness. Children want the parents do to what they want, while parents will be interested in teaching the children about respectful behavior. Here are the steps.

Try to sow a feeling in the children whether he/she is a good boy/girl or not. When ever they misbehave you can make them realize that such a such activity doesn’t belong to a good boy/girl. Believe me or not the question “whether you are good boy/girl or not” asked to children in a patient manner has lot of impact in their behavior. First it enters in their mind such a such activity is a bad activity and second thing I must not do such a bad activity. This I have observed in number of children in my crèche.

While communicating with you children be polite and don’t order them. Instead of saying “You must sit quietly now” you can say them “Please why can’t you sit quietly now”. Patience is a key in controlling the misbehavior of children.

I have observed some children although initially do not obey what we say, continuous polite instructions puts a habit in them such that they regularly get practiced to do things.

Another tactics which clearly works in dealing children is, create a feeling in them, that you are there to help them. Words like “I am here for you only know” creates a sense of responsibility in children that ultimately, they finally turn towards you and listen to you, whenever they are in difficulty, however trivial the difficulty may be.

Give full attention to the children when they are speaking. Words like “Mmm” , “Yes” etc makes a children feel their words are getting recognized, while no response from the elders gets them thinking they are left out. Such a feeling in children will keep them far away from you.

Finally don’t show your office pressure or family pressure on your children. A quarrel with your spouse or your boss in office and showing harsh words and face to your children is going to negatively motivate them. Whatever be the case, politeness, calm face and positive approach are the key in making your children listen to you.

I have started a new group at Google groups for parents about how to make your baby happy and comfortable. Here you can interact with other parents about the nature of your baby and discuss about common family matters. You can join the group for free. Join the group
