What to do if your child is particularly naughty

Children can often be very naughty because children of each age group have their own developmental characteristics. But some children will have some strange behaviors, such as being very naughty often, which sometimes makes people feel difficult to understand. Then parents should worry that their children may have a disease problem, probably ADHD. Therefore, we should be familiar with the naughty characteristics of children, and very naughty children should have more active brain thinking. So what should we do if our children are particularly naughty?

1. Give up the concept of "gender exclusivity". When people think of naughty children, their first impression is that some boy is being naughty again. In fact, the phenomenon of naughtiness exists regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, but most boys are more active and girls are more quiet. Of course, there are also quiet and well-behaved boys.

Parents should treat naughty children equally, whether boys or girls, and through proper encouragement and persistence, help children learn to abide by the rules and be considerate.

2. It’s human nature. Many parents explain their children’s unruly and antisocial behavior as “normal behavior for children.” As a result, the children’s behavior becomes more disorderly, and the parents begin to doubt whether they have the ability to improve their children’s behavior.

When parents find that their children are behaving excessively, they should provide timely and targeted guidance, or consult educational experts, rather than blaming the child's nature.

3. Awaken children’s empathy and think from their perspective. Young children do not have the cognition of disrupting others' behavior, but parents can set up situational connections. Suppose when he is having fun by himself or with friends, if someone comes to disturb and interrupt, will he be happy?

At this time, parents should guide their children patiently and let them think from their perspective. Other children are just like him and will get angry when they are disturbed. Gradually, children will become more sensitive to the feelings of others.

4. Communicate patiently. Regardless of whether the child realizes it or not, if what he says is hurtful or impolite, parents must tell him that this is impolite and will make others uncomfortable, and parents don’t like to hear it. Let him know that such words are bad and he will reduce the use of such words in the future.

When parents find that their children are behaving inappropriately, they should try to avoid "labeling" their children's behavior, let alone saying: He is like this. That will make the child feel frustrated, feel that he or she cannot meet the expectations of adults, become unconfident and irritable, and his or her own behavior will not improve.
