A Nutty Mom

When parents usually love their testimony, obedient child to act in a violent or aggressive behavior they might be surprised. Parents are not sure what brought on the behavior and may not know how to fix it.

Before you can fix the problem, you must first discover what is causing the problem. If parents see their child hits another child, they are quick to react and reprove the child. Yes, the boy’s actions did not deserve and parents need to intervene quickly, but what you do after the explosion is the most important.

Stay calm and check the situation. With children who are older, you may be able to ask them what happened to make them feel like they need to beat others. Typically, an impulsive act of violence is a decision made in frustration or anger. Young children may not know how to tell other children, they frustrated them. You as parents need to teach them the words, they can be used to express their feelings without using violence.

Another thing to consider in these situations is the child’s mood. If a child is tired or hungry they may be fussy and not good company. Set the time schedule of children playing around can help alleviate some of these problems as well. What about supervision at the time it happened? adequate adult supervision might have prevented the act occurred.

Finally, parents need to think about their own reactions in a frustrating situation. Children are the mirror image of their parents, and if they were slapped or hit (by way of non-violence), while their parents frustrated with them, they imitate the behavior.
