Scolding or forceful change is not doing any good for your kids
Parents should take care of their kids. No argument in it. But the way it has been done so far is the real problem. When parents try to pinpoint kids and scold to change the bad habits , they actually make it worse. Many child experts confirm it. Scolding could only make things worse.
Positive reinforcement is the only way to change your kid’s bad habits. As adults, we need to display maturity in understanding how kid’s psychology works. We should not try to directly change the bad ones. Instead, infuse the opposite good ones and appreciate whenever your kids do it. Kids do not do what we say, they do what we expect. So the rewards for their positive habits, inspire them to repeat it more.
So never try to change bad ones. Instead, add an alternate good habit and appreciate kids whenever they do it. Kids get inspired to repeat it more as they grow. The result is, you have cultivated a good habit and also removed the bad ones. Time to show some maturity in handling your kids. Take care.
