All About IVF
Are you demotivated by your child’s aggressive behaviour? Do you often think that you have failed as a parent in helping your child manage their emotions? Do not worry because emotional regulation is a skill we all can learn gradually with time. While some children may even take longer to master self behaviour, as a parent you simply need to be patient and should work on your own actions that behave as a barrier to control or manage difficult situations.
Here are some techniques every parent should adhere to in order to tackle their child’s violent behaviour.
Anger management skills
It is very necessary to teach your child anger management skills. If he/she gets furious too often or at small things, ask him/her to take deep breaths, or go straight to his room. School them to recognise and express emotions such as grief and frustration along with discussing the necessity of coping with these emotions in a healthy manner, through developing techniques to manage emotions securely without hurting yourself or others.
Avoid physical punishments
Stop hitting them as a punishment, they will be perplexed as to why you are allowed to hit them while they are not. Rather than regulating the problem, such punishments can make your child more aggressive. Parents are the greatest teacher of a child, at times they mimic what they see you do. Hence be a good role model to them and teach more about social behaviour and smarter techniques to deal with anger, sadness, and disappointment in a socially suitable way. An example; if your child did something inappropriate you can ask him to clean the corridor as a punishment or reduce the TV or gaming time.
Set rules
Make respect-related norms for the entire family. Everyone, even the elders should be clear that punching, kicking, biting, or other forms of physical violence are not permitted in your home. Plan out severe repercussions of breaking these rules (as simple as only green veggies for a week or the rule breaker will wash socks of the entire family). Do remember to frame every rule with a positive message.
Reward positive behaviour
Rewarding is the best technique to promote or appreciate something good. Even if your kid isn’t doing anything extraordinary, reward their positive conduct. Most importantly, do remember that it’s not always required to give out treats or rewards. Sometimes praise and recognition can create a powerful impact in their learning. Example; if your child behaves well in front of the guests, do not forget to praise or kiss your child after they leave.
Discuss but do not interfere them
When your youngster is expressing his feelings, be cool. Interfering with their emotional outbursts can make them more aggressive. Instead, at the end, assist them to model and manage their emotions. Many times parents even tend to retaliate in between when they have tantrums or act aggressively. For example; If your kid is pressuring you to go to the store and buy something. Don’t react or buy because this is an indirect way of encouraging their bad behaviour. Rather, carry on with your work and react later.
