Why Is My Child Doing That?!!

Let's take look at child behavior.

Has something like this happened to you?

You are sitting at the kitchen table sorting through bills and writing checks. Everything is due and you are a bit flustered.

Your gorgeous toddler is sitting up on a rug at your feet. She waves some blocks at you and says “Mommy play?”

You smile and say “In a minute” and keep doing your paper work. child behavior, child discipline, naughty child

She tries again, and again. Each time you smile but keep sorting through your papers.

Finally a block hits you on the side of the head and you look up, startled, to find your gorgeous child smiling innocently.

Does she know what she is doing?

Well, sort of. She doesn’t want you to be a screaming ogre (unless it’s entertaining to watch), but she does want you.

All children do. And if it’s an angry ‘you’, then that is better than no ‘you’ at all.

Do Parent's Expect Too Much?

A major problem with most child behavior is that what parents need and expect, and what kids need and can actually do, are often poles apart.

If child discipline can take into account our children’s natural behavior it can be less stressful for everyone.

Adults and children have different ideas on everything from sleep problems and the joys of toilet training, to whether the cat should be washed in the toilet or how much attention your child really needs.

We can model our child discipline more effectively once we understand why our children are behaving the way that they are.

Can We Work Together?

child discipline, parenting advice We can say that child behavior centers on the needs of children and parents being at crossed purposes.

Children have a need for constant attention and an inability to cope with the world around them.

That’s always where parents come in. We’re the ones that guide our children and love them.

When you are worried about child behavior problems a child psychologist can help.

It is never a failure to ask for help. It is part of caring for the wellbeing of your family.

Good advice never goes astray. If you have any stories you’d like to share about child behavior, please use the Feedback form…
