How to cope with the persistent disobedience of the child

The period when the child is aged two to four years, and is one of the most difficult for parents. The fact that at this age children just drives adults crazy with their disobedience, whims and stubbornness.





The most important thing for parents at this time is to learn to understand that whims of the child and his reluctance to fulfill the requests and demands of parents are the norm at this age. Adults should be patient and learn to understand your child, otherwise his behavior will be difficult to cope.

So how can we cope with the disobedience of the baby?

Do not give in to anger and try to understand the child. If he refuses to return from a walk home, rests and cries, hug him and explain that you understand his desire to walk a little longer. But it's time to go home... Categorical requirements will only lead to further protest.

Create a system of rules. For example, set a specific time in which the child will go to bed. Or that he won't get out of bed if it was already laid, or that will not fight with other children and hurt them.

Encourage your son or daughter for good behavior. At this age, is much more effective not to punish the child when he misbehaves and praise him when he listens and behaves well. Any abuse may cause the child to continue behaving badly. It is not necessary to focus the kid on what he can't do better, tell us about what he can. For example, if a child asks for sweets before dinner, then do not forbid him: it is better to offer him to eat something else, like fruit.

Generally at this age it is very important to offer your child a variety of fun and sweets. Feeling some freedom, the child will be more willing to listen to you as parents. In addition, before the walk, offer him / her clothes and shoes and according to his desire, as well as a few toys to choose from, etc.

Try to predict which situations can cause the next "surge of disobedience," and avoid them. For example, if you decided to sit with a friend in a cafe and take the child with her, he can get there pretty quick to get bored and start to act up. These meetings meet in the places where the child has something to do, for example, in the parks.

Also for adults it is useful to draw attention to themselves. If you are not overly strict and demanding? Maybe some situation is seen much calmer? Maybe that's not so bad and you just need to look at the situation from a different angle?
