Sounds funny !!! But it works !!!!
Most of us expect our children to be perfect in their behavior. We always correct their behavior to get the perfection. Of course our children hates that.
Please remember when ever we say “NO”, child’s desire of doing that “DOUBLES”.
STOP SAYING NO…. In a period of time, your child thinks, mamma / papa says only “NO” for everything. Gradually they will stop listen to you.
Instead tell them “YES” with little variation. Converting your “NO” to “YES”, still maintaining your stands on the issue will make you child to feel comfortable as well your work would be done.
For Example :
Eating food in front of TV.
This is one thing that every mother hate. Instead of shouting and refusing, you can say, let us have a chat over the dinner in dining table. Here you are not commenting anything wrong about having food at living room, instead offering alternative, ensure your options should be attractive. Then slowly make it as a habit. Allow them to watch TV while eating off and on. So your child does not get clues about your technique.
Writing on the walls :
Your child might be the budding artist, wants to show his / her talents always, it is so natural for them to show in the walls, as it is easily available. It is not fair to make them to feel guilty about it. You are also spoiling his / her inborn talent. Instead paste the black board sheet all over according to their height. Encourage your child to draw on the sheet.
Playing in bed :
Instead of telling them not to spread their toys in the bed, arrange a good mat / small bed, which can be spread in the floor, ensure your child is comfortable there.
Also please remember, it is home, not a workplace / hostel, where the members could afford to make mistakes, break rules, behave silly, being childish. It is not fair to expect everyone to be perfect at home.
These are the small issues, which can be corrected over a period of time with some adjustments from both the sides. But if we always say “NO” to everything, when it comes to vital decision for life, your child would have made up his / her mind, for not to listen. This will cause more damage.
So be friendly, sometimes allow to do nonsense at home, after all it is the place where they can be what they are. So that your child believes strongly my parent do not say “NO” unless there is a concrete background.
ALWAYS REMEMBER NAUGHTY CHILD IS THE MOST HAPPIEST CHILD.
HAPPY PARENTING !!!!!!!
