    Hello, every parent’s problem is that they do not understand that what is wrong with their children’s behaviour. There are several reasons for this kind of behaviour from the children. You need to find out what is driving your child’s behaviour and the reason behind it. Your child’s behaviour can be changing several times but you might not understand why. There are many reasons why child behaves differently as all the children go through this. As a parent it is important that you understand your child and know that he is not doing it purposely and needs your support throughout.

    One of the reasons can be that your child wants attention from you and that is why he is doing such things so that you can pay attention to him or her. They start misbehaving purposely to that they can seek your attention when you are not paying attention to them. Usually when child do this parents shout or hit them in response to that behaviour. This should not be done as the children are small and when he is doing such things remember that there might be reasons behind it. Giving your child enough attention is necessary so that he doesn’t feel ignored.

    There at times when children start feeling uncomfortable if you are at a certain place or even at home. There might be several reason for his discomfort and may not be able to tell you or convey it to you. To bring it to your notice they misbehave, even if they are feeling bored or not feeling well they do such things. You should ask your child properly what is wrong and to the needy instead of just snapping at him by his irritating behaviour. Try to make him comfortable so that he calms down and tells you what he wants or feels.

    Many children feel that they are not valued and all the attention is given to their siblings. They start feeling left out and the outcome of this turns into misbehaviour as they feel hurt from inside and want to be wanted. Make sure you don’t ignore or make your child feel neglected during any family meeting or functions. Always try to involve him in the family and never try to make him feel he is not belonged there. There are at times when a child wants something so he starts misbehaving like a toy or game anything.

    Hi children often throw tantrums when they want things like new dress or eatables when they see someone having it. They start misbehaving when you are not paying attention to them so that you listen to them and get them what they want. You should make him understand that this is not a good behaviour to ask anything and if he or she behaves properly you can get the things. When he understand this he will try to change his behaviour once he gets a reward for his good behaviour. You can try talking to him hopefully it work.

    Children are just like adults when they do not get praised and appreciated they seem to get upset just like us. Parents always punish the child for his or her bad behaviour but forget to praise and appreciate the good behaviour which they show. You should always appreciate the good behaviour and good habits which your child shows, this will encourage him more to do good things. The feeling of disappointment also exists in children and not only in adults. There can be many reason for them to be disappointed. Find out the reason and try to make your child happy by motivating him or her.

    All of the children have a habit of imitating others be it their friends or adults. The most common trait of children is to get influenced by other. They might develop some bad habit by getting influenced by others or they might want something which someone else has and for all of these reasons they can start misbehaving. Handling your child smartly should be your aim as they are your children and you know them better than anyone else. Talking to your child and making him understand what is right and wrong can help him develop good habits.

    You can deal with this behavioural problem in different ways like understanding the real reason behind your child’s different, looking out for the reason why your child has started misbehaving, from when your child has started misbehaving, always try to be calm and patient with your kids. Do not shout or hit your child and try to be clear and precise with your kids when you are explaining them something. Try to focus on the reason rather than focusing on what the child is doing. Be the role model of your child and let him follow you.
