By Gwen Lowe


Changing a difficult attitude embraced by the child is taxy thing to do. Since such angel does not know which behavior to disregard, it becomes hard to screen out undesirable and desirable stimuli. Considering this fact, it can be right to mention that parents are initially responsible on how their children behave and how to correct it based on accepted values.

Children are always pounded with various stimuli but does not have the filtering capability. Friends, the environment, and especially the family are just few of the elements that can shape their personality positively or negatively. How to help a child with behavior problems would look easy on the surface but would often be done the wrong way, worst taken for granted. To help you, there are some social psychology based theories that may help your youngster.

Firstly, you must put to mind that isolation is not the medicine for imposing the right behavior to your child and nipping the bad one in the bud. This may even cause antisocial thoughts to grow on your youngster. Instead, you must find an environment conducive to character development and to becoming a socially intelligent person.

However, do not try to suppress them with their childhood. Both good and bad stimuli will help them become people with a balanced personality. You may also use the reward and consequence method suggested by experts. If they do something unacceptable along with their friends, punish them with consequences. If they do something good, give them a reward for doing so.

On one hand, know their temperament before giving punishments. For example, punish them with house chores if they do not love doing it. You can also isolate them for a short period of time from their friends if they hate the feeling of being left alone.

Based on their personality, punish them something they do not like doing. It would be ineffective to punish a sanguine youngster to dance and for melancholic lad to stay indoors. Furthermore, you have to understand the natural temperament of your youngster. This will maximize the effectiveness of your disciplinary actions and not destroy their inborn personality strengths.

Several parents of today would go on sanctioning their children with all traces of personality bias. Should you punish them, analyzing if it is an antisocial behavior or just a fragment of their personality is a wise thing to do. You must also know yourself well before you try to sanction your children.

It could also be partial to say that since it is your lad, you have the power and rights to discipline them even when you have troubles knowing your self. On the same context, when you try to enforce discipline to prevent your youngster from smoking but you yourself does it, it creates irony and incongruence. If you wish your child to copy your preferred behavior show them by making yourself a good role model.

To sum this up, 3 factors are important in training your youngster. First, provide them with the right setting and possibly with the right peers. Second, study their personality and their temperament. Last, be a role model so they can follow good habits.
