Another topic in these articles and journals is how you praise your child. It really upsets me when I m in a store and a child is acting up and to get the child to shut up, the parent buys that child a toy or something. That is just so annoying to me. If you are constantly buying a child things everytime he or she is acting up, then that child will constantly act up on purpose because they know that it will get them what they want. Believe it or not, children know how to use their parents.
Children are very smart and are very manipulative.
Sometimes children just do it for attention. The best way to deal with a child who misbehaves and throw tantrums is to just ignore them. The child wants some attention and wants to be paid attention to. Eventually the child will stop if he or she notices that you aren t paying attention to them. Disciplining is one of the most difficult and important jobs facing any parent, says Annsel.
