Curb Your Child
Share The Game!
THE PARENTING GUIDE : CHAPTER 6
What Is The Most Effective Way To Improve Child Behavior?
The most effective way to curb children’s behavior is to teach children to manage their own behavior, of course. Teaching children critical thinking and the value of making good choices, will help them make good choices when on their own. It should also launch them into a life of good choices. Choices driven by smart thinking, not fears or emotions. Giving children a chance to cooperate, an opportunity to ask questions, to understand and to be involved in their own education, is the most respect you can give them. Respect builds trust and commitment to agreements.
How To Get Children Involved
GOOD PUPPY Child Behavioral Tools
Speak to children in a language they can understand. Designed for children first, the system becomes a game. Being consistent with consequences, honoring rewards, getting involved and turning that precious time without power struggles into an educational and bonding moment gives parent’s opportunities to shine.
TEACHING CHILDREN TO MAKE GOOD CHOICES
TEACHING BY EXAMPLE
No Pressure. Really!
Do not be confused, teaching by example is not a parenting style nor is it a choice any parent has. Children mimic, which is how they learn. When you find truly irritating habits in your child, remember to first look in the mirror. There is a “reason why” it is affecting you at such a gut level. It is something that, most likely, you don’t want to look at in yourself. There is a simple cure to most of these cases. To keep your child from copying those behaviors, change those behaviors yourself.
Correcting Behavior Is Easier Said Than Done!
If you find this route difficult, at least you will have gained perspective on what you’re asking your child to change. Maybe it isn’t a habit at all, but a personality trait. It could even be a trait we don’t like from our own parents, and don’t realize we have it too, until we see our children act it out.
In other cases, it may be a spouse’s behavior that is imitated or inherited. The first thing to keep in mind is that the person being mimicked may be the last one to notice it. These issues need to be addressed with patience and sensitivity.
GOOD PUPPY Child Cognitive Behavioral Tools can be used even among couples. These humorous tools can help correct unwanted behaviors, so that children will not imitate them.
A GOOD FOUNDATION
A Healthy Structure Children Can Take For Granted
A good foundation is the structure that helps children build a healthy and strong code of ethics. While a solid foundation could be built on evil principles, a good foundation is built from good examples and good principles.
Building A Healthy Structure With Understanding
In order to grow healthy children, you need a healthy foundation. In a nurturing environment, behavioral rules build a harmonious structure that promotes learning and bonding. With a focus on emotions, parents can deepen the conversation to get to the core of who their children are, what makes them tick, and how they truly feel.
Encouraged to talk about their emotions, children will feel more comfortable, more understood and will be less likely to hold resentments. This eliminates anxieties, and when children feel they can talk about whatever bothers them, it reflects in better behavior.
GOOD PUPPY Child Cognitive Behavioral Tools aid in the implementation of a good foundation. An early introduction to emotions allows children to recognize their feelings, as they learn to recognize them in others. Virtues and challenges Tools aid in building a healthy code of ethics. Cause and effect teaches children to think critically, considering consequences before making choices. Together, these lessons make the foundation for an empathic, responsible and emotionally mature human being.
