Little Bit of Green

When you ask other people’s opinions about handling child behavior problems, you are likely to receive a variety of ideas.Some people have old-fashioned notions about dealing with child behaviour problems, and they believe that yelling or spanking are acceptable methods. Research studies have proved that this form of child discipline can be harmful to a child and so is discouraged. Children whose parents yell at them learn that it is acceptable to solve problems by raising their voice. In the same way, a child who is spanked to learns to resolve conflicts by resorting to physical violence. So if yelling and spanking are ineffective ways of dealing with children’s behavior problems what options are available to parents?

Child behaviour problems can be dealt with effectively with other strategies that do not involve yelling spanking. If the child is very young, then saying”no” in a firm manner is often enough to teach them that you do not approve of a particular behaviour. sometimes, however, saying “no” is not enough and then a further step needs to be taken. If the child does not respond to “known” then a parent should remove the child physically away from that unacceptable activity. Other effective ways of dealing with unacceptable child behaviour with a child who is very young are using timeout or removing your attention from the child. This involves removing the child to a boring area of the house and ignoring him or her until they have calmed down. You can use this technique particularly efficiently with the child who is having a temper tantrum.

With slightly older children, you are able to use the logic of rewards and consequences and they are able to understand how this operates. Therefore you can deal with child behaviour problems by withholding rewards and stopping privileges. For example if your child refuses to pick up their toys or clean their room don’t try forcing them to do so. Instead put the toys into garbage bags and put them out of reach until he realizes his mistake. At the same time remember to always give rewards for behaviour that does meet your approval.

Finding positive things to encourage and reward your child can be challenging at times, but remember children do more of what gets rewards. Having more positive communication than negative is important.
