We are definitely not in favor of using violence or shouting at the little ones, but you should pay attention to these behaviors just in time to prevent them from getting out of hand and it becomes impossible to control your kid. Check this list:

The tantrums

They are part of their nature and there are children that make these their best way to communicate and demand what they want. But if you don’t take control, they will do it and you’ll end up having screaming little monsters at home at all times. If these temper tantrums become very common, you are likely to be pampering a little bit too much, take control of the situation, stay calm, and focus on the cause so you can understand and stop it.

Violence

Children often show their frustration through aggressiveness. But this can have serious consequences and social problems inside and outside home. It takes time for kids to learn self-control, but you can help them by teaching them how to breathe and calm down.

Indifference or disobedience

It is very common that they ignore instructions when they don’t agree with what you ask them to do. It is an act of rebellion that you should not allow and you must never give in to what they want without first talking about it. Look at your kid in the eye and let him know that he should obey, calmly but firmly. Get him used to the rules and to the fact that he has to follow them.

The lies

They usually have a sweeping imagination and this makes them lie more frequently, but lies become dangerous when the child does it to achieve something in particular. They must know that lying is not an adequate or correct resource to achieve what they want.

Sadness

Childhood is the happiest period of life. So, if you notice that your little one is discouraged, talk to him, that will make him feel loved and important. Sadness is a natural emotion that your child can feel every now and then, but it shouldn’t become usual because it may lead into depression. If this happens, you need to seek professional help immediately.
