Never tell a child they are bad. Instead, help the child recognize what it was about their behavior that was inappropriate or intolerable. Behaviors may be wrong, but the child still needs to feel loved, no matter what they may do. Be consistent, follow through Children need to have a consistent message sent to them. It is equally important to follow through.
Most parents look for the most expedient solution.
This often results in children who feel overpowered. It is important to keep in mind the way parents want their children to be as adults and be more thoughtful in the way they parent. Be kind and firm at the same time Parents often get frustrated when their children do not comply or behave. Frustration can easily lead to anger. As parents, it is very important to remain as calm as possible.
