Tips For Positive Parenting

FOCUS ON THE REASONS FOR THE ACTIONS.

Even though the cause seems trivial to the parents, there is always a reason why youngsters misbehave. It’s understandable for the child, and that’s why they act the way they do. Even if the child does not get exactly what they want, if parents can address the cause instantly, the child will feel that their needs are comprehended. It’s frequently more important to have emotional support from family than it is to get the request fulfilled.

BE KIND AND RESISTANT.

Model how to be courteous and kind to others by being kind to your child. Children learn by imitating others, and you as a parent are the most important role model for them. When a parent yells, humiliates, or calls a child’s name when they are unhappy, the child learns to do the same. Likewise, the inverse is true. When a parent is nice and courteous even when upset, the child learns to handle problems with poise and respect.

DISCIPLINE IN A GENTLEMANLY MANNER

Punitive punishment, according to Jane Nelsen in Positive Discipline: The First Three Years, promotes the Four Rs: Resentment, Rebellion, Revenge, and Retreat. Unnatural negative consequences frequently fail to deter or encourage good behaviour. When parents scream or chastise their children, they start a cycle of compulsion. The coercive cycle has been linked to behavioural disorders and conduct problems in children, such as oppositional defiant disorder.

BE EXPLICIT AND CONSISTENT.

Decide on and adequately explain the consequences of breaching limits before enforcing them. Parents must also be consistent in their actions and keep their commitments. If a parent is inconsistent, there will be confusion. The child may continue to test the limits to see what happens next. If your child misbehaves, don’t make empty threats about cancelling the game unless you’re willing to follow through.
