10 Reasons Why Children Misbehave


10 Reasons Why Children Misbehave
It will be easier for you to handle your child if you are aware of the reasons for misbehaviour. Find 10 reasons why children misbehave right here.

During the growth years it is a very common complain of parents that their kids are misbehaving and embarrassing them in front of others. But being a parent you cannot let go the problem. You have to find out the reasons behind such behaviours.
There can be a lot of reasons why your child is behaving so awkwardly. Doctors have categorised the reasons under three basic heads, Biological, Psychological and Environmental. Let us have a look at each of these factors thoroughly.

1. Temperament of Kid

When kids are in a bad mood they will behave awkwardly. It is the responsibility of the parents to understand when the kids are in the spoilt mood. It is better not to rebuke them at that time. Do not lose your cool, be patient to them. When they come to their normal form, talk to them then.

2. Development Disorder

Some kids suffer from development disorder. Such kids behave abnormally if have been ill treated in their childhood.

3. Lack of Confidence

Kids suffering from insecurity and lack of self confidence are reflected by their behaviour. They misbehave almost with everyone just to hide their inner fears.

4. Trauma

When children are exposed to certain traumas, they behave oddly. They think everyone as their enemies who are going to hurt them in some way or other. So to make sure that they are safe, they misbehave in order to show them that they are equally powerful.

5. Seeking Attention

Kids often behave in an unusual manner when they need to seek your attention. It is common that when they misbehave you will turn to scold them and at this their purpose of seeking your attention will be served. For example, they create a fuss about eating or they make noise at the dinner table creating unnecessary nuisances. The best way to deal with this is not to pay heed to this mischief. Just warn them once about the consequences that they will have to face if they continue to behave like this.

6. Revenge

When kids are up to take revenge against their friends over some arguments, they start behaving oddly and end up fighting with each other.

7. Poor Example

Children follow whatever they see. If they follow a bad idol they will naturally behave badly. So it is the responsibility of the parents to cite him with good examples always. Imitating poor models may hamper their personality when they grow up.

8. Independence

Every one irrespective of age likes to live a life of freedom. Nobody wants to be instructed all the time, so with the kids; they also want to be independent. When you are continuously wracking your nerves on them they may not like it, and to show their dislikes they start misbehaving. So it is better to leave them sometimes, let them do whatever they like, but surely do not allow them to cross the limits.

9. To Test You

Kids often misbehaves intentionally just to test how serious are the warnings that are being constantly given to them. They want to see the consequences if they do not listen to you. Simply kids love to test your limits. They want to test how far you can tolerate when they are doing any wrong.

10. Basic Needs

Kids often misbehave when they are hungry and despite of complaining you are not turning up to arrange them some food. This is a way to show their grudges against you. They also misbehave when they are exhausted after the whole day activity.
Handling ill behaved kids will be easier if you know the reasons behind them. So instead of losing your temper on them, try to figure out the reasons and the problems will be fixed very easily.

Manners and discipline should be taught to children right from early age. If not, children take parents for granted and misbehave.

Children who are pampered a lot by parents by fulfilling all of their demands usually misbehave
