Transforming Kids Bad Behavior

We all want our kids to behave well, but is there really a way to make that happen? Here are some helpful solutions toward that end.

First, set clear boundaries with your child. Kids need to learn the areas which they are allowed to play in, and those they are restricted from. They need rules set by their parents, and need to be punished when those rules are broken. For example, if a child yells at his sibling when he knows he shouldn't because he will be punished (and in a specific way), he will think twice about yelling at his sibling. Boundaries provide children with a good sense of understanding that there are consequences for wrong actions.

Second, when your child misbehaves even in spite of there being clear consequences, how should a parent react? It's first important to remember that bad behavior can often only be a plea for attention. Children, like adults, need to feel valued and affirmed. Spending time with your child for even half an hour of uninterrupted activity per day can make a world of a difference in a child. Your child will have a much greater sense of your care for them, and will be less likely to misbehave out of need for attention.

Third, learn to play with your child. Simply because they have wild imaginations is not a reason to separate yourself from them. Just because there minds might not be realistic does not mean they're necessarily wrong. Children have much to teach to adults as well. Playing with them can be an educational process for the adult, and also works to show them love and involvement in their lives. They feel like they're a priority to you instead of a burden. And go the distance with their imaginations, choosing to involve yourself in wacky schemes. For males, this may involve arming yourself with sixteen different plastic guns. For girls, it might mean taking time to get dressed up with them.

Finally, find opportunities to love your child well. Make it a point to let them know they are loved. Taking time to play with them or even just listening to them can make a big difference in their day. You are your child's most valuable source of their own understanding about themselves, and the more love you can give to them, the more they will want to respond to you with that same love. Try these strategies, and see if they're behavior doesn't change a little bit.

Was is worth it in the end to stay with your childs father "for the kids"?

I am mostly directing this question to women that have been in that sort of situation, but if you have any insight or advice it will be greatly appreciated.

You need to stay for yourself or leave if you are not happy. Staying for the children is not a real good idea in my eyes. Children know much more than you think they do and the lack of love, respect, the fighting....it all impacts them negatively. My parents divorced and remarried. I thought that it was great to have the family back together until the fighting started again. Seeing your mother cry....the one person who always has the answers, who is always in control......when she was so sad that she cried uncontrollably, I knew they were better off divorced-and I was right.
