How to prevent bad behavior

Children are children and on many occasions they misbehave without knowing that their actions are not being correct. Maybe your child is bored, not stimulated enough or you have left him alone to think because he has behaved badly and does not understand why you behave like this with him.

Sometimes children don't want to share or they just have bad behavior. To avoid conflict when children play, for example, you need to make sure there are enough toys for the children to share. In the event that there are enough toys and if the children continue to argue over one, then it will be necessary to remove that toy to end the fight.

Use distraction to redirect your child's attention

For example, if your child insists on touching the glass ornaments in a store after being told not to. Show him an object, let him touch it to see how he feels, satisfy his inquisitive nature, and then redirect his attention with a toy in the cart.

If the redirect doesn't work, explain that if you continue the behavior, you will have to leave. Remember, you must stick with the discipline strategy once you have verbalized it. In other words, remove your child from the situation or remove the object from the child's field of vision.

Children learn by modeling what they see

You can't tell your child that they can't yell when later you or your partner yell at or yell at each other in front of the child when you have a disagreement. When your child paints on the wall, for example, instead of yelling at him, tell him that painting is not allowed there and tell him where he has to do it so that it is a correct place (paper). It also allows it to help you clean up any mess.

Always remember to praise your child

If your child has listened to you and does what you have asked, has behaved well or has not had tantrums, recognize that desirable behavior and tell him how proud you are that he is able to behave this well.
