Children's aggression: three ways to fight effectively
Parents often end up in an impasse aggressivethe behavior of his own child: the beloved child suddenly turns into an embittered devil shouting offensive words and throwing himself at the arm. Meanwhile, it is worth remembering: the reactions of the baby are direct and still poorly controlled - he does not want to hurt the parents, he just does not know how to correctly express dissatisfaction. How to deal with such situations?
Demonstrate strength and authority. This is especially important in case of physical aggression. If a child tries to hit, bite or pinch, immediately stop the attacks - hug, hold hands, squeeze. It is necessary to do this firmly, but carefully - in no case manifesting a counter-wrath, and even more so - without taking physical reprisals. The purpose of this method is to give the baby time to calm down and then discuss what happened.
Affirm the intransigence of their decisions. Verbal hostility is a common variant of childhood irritation. Responding with cries and insults is the worst decision possible. But it is also impossible to ignore and forgive such antics: it is best to calmly but persistently repeat the prohibitions and apply reasonable punishment, clearly explaining the reasons.
Patiently voicing your opinion and supportinghis arguments. This rule is applicable to manipulation: the anger of the baby is not expressed explicitly and manifests itself in hidden confrontation and whims. Indulgence to whims will allow to solve the problem for a short while, but will lead to loss of control over child behavior. Therefore it is necessary to have patience - the little one must understand that ultimatums to parents are unacceptable.
