Dealing With Inappropriate Behavior in Preschoolers in Dubai

There are instances when a parent is called by the child's Preschool in Dubai about their inappropriate behavior. This could be when a child is being disruptive for the day and talking out of turn, or it could be a series of bullying incidents involving peers. When this occurs, a parent might wonder how to deal with this sort of behavior and how to address this matter with the school . It's a challenge and resorting to punishment too quickly can be damaging, so here are some important information to keep in mind when addressing the situation. 

• The child may be showing that they cannot follow direction, and to a parent this looks like stubbornness.
• Never shout at the child, instead talk to the child and find out what is going on, the reason behind their behavior.
• Children may just want to act out or miss behave to get the attention of the parent, therefore, ask the child what is wrong instead of asking them why they act that way.
• If the child is vying for attention all the time, it's best to let them sit it through, so parents should simply ignore their unnecessary whining until it stops.
• Parents and educators at the Nursery in Umm Suqeim should model good behavior for a child. For instance, a child taking apart a toy or any other item is not a way to annoy you or the teacher, but they are acting on impulse to satisfy their natural curiosity. Usually this is common in children until they reach kindergarten age.
• Time outs and other type of punishment should be done when a child is behaving in a manner that is not safe for himself or others around him. Children who are punished or given time outs may not always understand what they did wrong, they know they are being punished but they don't know how they should behave.
• Don't stigmatize the child or label the child. Treating a child like they are bad can inevitably lead to a similar predicament, whether a parent likes it or not. Therefore, don't label the child, but instead, start by validating the child’s feelings and modelling good behavior before discipline. No matter how the child behaves, always be consistent with the approach you adopt as a parent.
• If a time out is absolutely necessary choose a place that is not frightening for the child, after giving them several warnings. Parents should be calm at this point and not lose their cool. 

Educators in the Nursery Schools in Dubai warn parents that their child's behavior cannot be changed or fixed instantly or overnight. It takes time and patience to change a child's behavior and this can be gradual. Until the child starts behaving well in the  Dubai Nursery reward the child in minor ways when they behave appropriately. 

Sometime, children may have so many issues, therefore experts advise that parents should deal with one issue at a time, with physical behavior addressed first.

Teaching Your Preschooler in Dubai Chores at Home

Teaching  a child attending Preschool in Dubai to  help out with chores around the home can take some stress off your shoulders and give you more time to spend together as a family as well as teach your child the importance of being independent as well. Also, making a child do chores around the home will teach them important life skills, such as teamwork and cooperation. 

When parent's allocate chores  it is important to set clear and consistent expectations. For example, don't expect the child to complete the job the way you would or do you expect them to do their best. It's important to be consistent and have realistic expectations. 

Educators at Kids Nurseries in Dubai expect parents to allow their child's input into  which chores he or she would like to perform. Give them options and allow them to choose what they would like to do. However, the child may also be assigned some tasks that he or she doesn’t like, make sure to rotate these chores among other children, if parents have more than one child. 

Assign tasks that are age appropriate. Even in Dubai Nursery Schools, children are assigned tasks that are age appropriate and rarely are not given tasks that are inappropriate or difficult to perform. For instance, 3-4 year olds can clean up the play area and put away their toys and 5 -6 years olds can clean their rooms by emptying the dustbins, washing plastic dishes and making the bed. A 7-8 year old can fold and put away their laundry, sweep the floor and set the table for a meal. Children who are older than 9years can usually wash the dishes or wash the windows. The most important trait is to make sure the child grasps the idea of pitching in and working as a team. Children should be responsible for chores that directly benefit them, such as cleaning their own rooms. 

Since your child is still learning it will take time to get the job done properly, therefore, give your child the opportunity to take their time and learn. 

Choose a good time for the child to attend to the chores. Don't make the child do chores as soon as they come home from  school, give them time to rest and relax. Some experts at the Nurseries in Dubai suggest setting aside a time when the whole family does chores together. 

Use a chart, like teachers at the Dubai Nursery Schools use in their classroom for each activity. This will help to organize, promote language skills and develop math skills. Make sure all children know that they are expected to help out at home. 

Make chores a fun task by incorporating play, music, and singing. The chances are if a child enjoys their chores, they will do them well and take on more responsibility. Make sure to praise the child for a job well done as the child needs to be motivated through praise. With younger children use a reward system.

Children’s Nursery Dubai vs. Homeschool

Are you considering a Children’s Nursery Dubai vs. homeschooling your child, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. How does a parent decide which is the best option for their child. Despite looking at the pros and cons of both, there is no correct solution and a decision will have to made by the respective parent, as one child may thrive in the preschool environment while for others this sort of environment may be intimidating and very scary. 

Every Nursery in Dubai and homeschool differ, based on the resources, staff and funding. 

Here are some of the advantages of sending a child to a nursery, 

For a child who responds well to peers, instructions from adults and does not need constant supervision and attention a Children's nursery will be a good fit. The child will have many opportunities to interact with other children, will be able to learn things from each of these interactions and could also be encouraged to learn by competing with other children.  

Another advantage of Kindergarten in Dubai is that a child often has the opportunity to help other children. Children learn to recognize situations in which they can help and learns to be a leader and teacher, by helping classmates and other students by problem solving. 

Nursery schools also have trained professionals that are directly involved in the child’s education. Teachers are often trained to look for and recognize learning disabilities or children who are gifted at the early stages so that the school can have special programs to help accommodate this sort of children, whereas a child that is being home schooled may have a disability that is overlooked or may not have access to the knowledge, resources, or equipment needed to help the child with his special needs. Parents may not pick up any learning disabilities until it's too late, as they are inexperienced as well. 

 Another proof Nurseries in UAE is that compared to homeschool, they have the professional resources like counselling, free meals and special educational trips. A child who is being homeschooled may not have access to these benefits. 

Some of the benefits of homeschooling a child, 

A child who is timid and does not do well in a group setting, may come shy and get lost in the  crowd. The child may be scared to ask for help if he does not understand an assignment or lack of communication between teachers may not make it clear that the child  is struggling in a particular area. Some children may also be intimidated by other children and will not make an effort to try something they like just because they are worried about what others will think of them. For these children the best learning environment is for them to be in the comfort of their own home with one on one instruction and no comparison to other children. This can make a world of difference in how well he learns and performs as well.   

Homeschooling can be a very positive and rewarding experience, but it takes a lot of time and dedication.
