How to deal with naughty children

It is quite common for children to be naughty. For such children, education must be proper, neither too strict nor too indulgent. Children are at a critical moment in their mental development. Only good education can make children realize what is right and what is wrong. Let us learn how to treat naughty children correctly. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

How to deal with naughty children

1. Correctly view children's "naughty" behavior

For "naughty" children, many teachers often regard their mischief, fighting, and love of "pranks" as intentional destruction and disruption, and arbitrarily label them as "bad kids", which is bound to have an adverse impact on the growth of children. In fact, if we calm down and pay attention, it is not difficult to see that many behaviors of "naughty" children are no different from those of ordinary children, except that the degree is more intense.

2. Treat children differently and show more care to "naughty" children

In reality, we often see that some overly naughty children are treated with negative educational methods by angry teachers - isolating them. Practice has shown that young children who are disliked by adults or the group often give up on themselves, develop inferiority complex or rebellious psychology, which will only create a vicious cycle and take us further away from our expected educational goals. You know, love is an important condition for the healthy mental health of young children. Teachers should always pay attention to the words and deeds of naughty children, understand their inner needs, tolerate their childishness and ignorance, and respect their personality characteristics.

3. Prevent problems before they happen, use more hints to guide children to correct themselves

Some young children may appear to be indifferent to their problematic behaviors, but deep down they have a hidden desire to improve. Therefore, when a child's naughty behavior just emerges or recurs, the teacher should use shaking head or eye contact to signal him to stop.

4. Let children correct their bad behaviors through experience

For certain bad behaviors of young children, children can be allowed to feel the emotional experience generated by the behaviors in a specific environment, so that they can distinguish right from wrong and correct themselves consciously.

5. Discover the shining points of "naughty" children

Although "naughty" children have many unsatisfactory behaviors, they also have many positive and valuable qualities, such as being curious, exploratory, independent-minded, and intelligent, etc. Teachers should try their best to find their shining points to encourage them to make progress.

6. Create conditions to give children ample opportunities to play and “vent”

Being active is the nature of young children, and toys are their angels. Teachers should provide children with sufficient materials, toys and learning tools so that children have things to play with and operate. This way, they have something to do and will not run around. "Naughty" children often have excess energy, so we should create conditions to allow them to "vent" their excess energy, such as ensuring enough time for outdoor activities, allowing them to run and jump, and taking them to play games with higher intensity. For those clever, naughty children with good ideas, we can create problem scenarios and guide them to find solutions, so as to improve their thinking and problem-solving abilities.
