Behavioral issues in children - How to handle
Nov 22, 2021, 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
There comes that moment in a parent's life when that seemingly cooperative little baby suddenly has just one word in his vocabulary – NO! When your child grows into toddlerhood, and then into school years, he wears his individuality and independence with pride. So yes, while tantrums, acting out and general rebellious behavior is a sign of growth and development, it helps to know when it is a sign of something more. And in such cases, disciplining a child with love and empathy is what works best.
Tips For Positive Discipline
Here are 7 simple ways to learn to disassociate the negative component associated with discipline and slowly change our perspective about discipline. Let’s us understand the concept of “positive discipline”:
- Understand root cause: Once we understand this simple, basic concept we would be seeing our child from a positive lens
- Try and understand that something in the child’s environment is influencing her to behave badly
- The triggers could be many - the child could be hungry, tired, sleepy, upset or unwell
- Address the underlying need to eliminate the misbehavior
- Reconnect everyday: Switch off your mobile phones, and other gadgets to take out those exclusive 20 minutes for your child every day
- Listen to what she has to say, tell her how much you love her and what she means to you
- Snuggle her, tickle her, cuddle her, have pillow fights, giggle with her
- Be 100% physically and mentally present with her, for her
- Children who feel connected with their parents indulge in less of misbehavior
- Model behaviors which you want your child to emulate: Never act when you are upset
- Leave the situation, or take a deep breath or count to 10 to calm down
- We should not do anything in front of our children that we don’t want them to do
- Give attention to behaviors you like and ignore the ones you don’t like: Children sometimes throw tantrums, whine, lie down on the floor, or throw things to catch your attention. Ignore the behavior or simply walk away to pass on the message that there is a better way to communicate than throw a fit
- Offer an option instead of saying ‘NO’: children who hear no every time, tend to inculcate resentment. Substitute your ‘No’ with an option

My son is 7 years old. It's been six months since I joined work. I couldn't spend much time with my son now a days due to hectic schedule. I notice him using mobile more. He plays some time, then starts playing in mobile. How can I keep him away from screen and also keep him occupied?

Ma'am my 13 year old just doesn't want to listen to us. She spends 10-12 hours on her gadgets. Attends classes from the bed, sleeps during daytime and remains awake at night. Though she is not watching any inappropriate stuff still I am worried for her health. She doesn't want to eat food cooked by me and cooks stuff like pasta, noodles , eggs for herself. I have tried talking, explaining and every possible thing. She is not on good terms with her father. She used to be the school topper prior to lockdown but now hates studies .Kindly guide me what can be done to make her behave normally . Thanks!

Hello mam, my son is 6. 5 years old. Nowadays he spends hours watching you tube and playing games on mobile. Though he is brilliant in studies and does all other works properly, but still spending more times on gadgets will affect his eye sight. Please advise me how can I convince him not to spend time on mobile.

Sometimes it tough to explain to children who are non verbal or partially verbal on the autism spectrum due to their ongoing challenges as well. Condiering that every day is different and the AB & C of behaviours keep varying.. Especially when kids r entering their teens with hormonal changes also happening at the same time
