A checklist of Children's Behavior

Parents and teachers should always be sensitive towards a child, and make every concerted effort to develop a quality connection with their children,  explains the Dubai Nursery. Sometimes a child's behavior can take a turn for the worst or sometimes they develop good habits, here is a parent-response checklist to help  parent's with their responses and approaches to their children, 
  • Preventive measures - A little prevention can save parents a ton of aggravation. Children love to explore and test their environments, and they also express uncomfortable feelings through limit-pushing behavior. So, if we don’t want children throwing things or playing roughly with a pet or a younger sibling, we should not be walking around saying 'no' to them all the time and being annoyed, it's best to minimize or remove certain objects and options. 
  • Confidence - Confidence is important and crucial and tends to be absent when a parent's direction and response is not working. Confidence is firm,  decisive, and often upbeat, not angry or stern. Children sense an adults feeling, and can easily detect whether the decision the parent takes is serious or not, If parents are not confident with their decisions and feelings, the child will not feel comfortable making them cry, whine and protects and keep pushing the limits. Teacher's at the Nurseries in Dubai demonstrate this confidence, often giving them the ability to calm a difficult child. Often, parents and teachers should be calm and deal with the situation in that manner as the child is watching your every move. Don't panic or change your movements or be hurried, simply demonstrate confidence, and that you are in control. 
  • Early action - Children understand a parent's word and actions, but need more from parents when their impulsive, emotionally fueled behavior gets the better of them. This might mean calmly taking the child aside when their behavior is out of control, or being totally fine with helping a preschooler attending Childcare Nursery in Dubai get dressed in the morning, even though they are perfectly capable of doing so themselves. 
  • Acceptance - Both acceptance and acknowledgement are important, but the one to focus on is acceptance. Parents should try to let go of their feelings and emotions and let things be in certain instances, instead of always saying or urging the child to do the right thing or calm the child down, this is what accept means. Parents should accept disagreements with the understanding that with children and teenagers, especially, disagreements can be a daily, healthy, developmentally appropriate occurrence. This is also a way for the child to allow, acknowledges, even embraces the concept. When parent's are hastily making everything better, they are unwittingly sending an invalidating, squelching message that says we are not comfortable with your feeling and that they should stop as soon as possible. 
Changing and becoming a more effective parent can take some time and is a long process, but you need to stick with it and understand that you can be an effective parent and be open to different ideas and different ways of doing things.
