The Right Way to Handle Naughty Children

Naughtiness is something that’s innatein kids. Rarely will you come across any kid who portrays silent and sober behavior. And though we believe that this naughtiness should be thoroughly enjoyed as with age this phase shall pass, we also understand that at times this naughty behavior turns out to be very challenging and difficult for the parents to handle. We often heard parents complaining about their children being extremely naughty and undisciplined. However, you should know that disciplining naughty children should never be about punishing or beating them as it can pent up anger in the young minds and lead to trauma. While it can be downright frustrating to deal with naughty kids, using a friendly and positive reciprocal approach is the right way to go about it.
Here we have a few tips on how parents can handle their naughty children and let them grow up into disciplined and well-behaved adults:
Set Limits
As parents, you need to understand your child’s needs and desires first. This will help you know what should be done and what is unnecessary. However, children at a young age are unaware of their own needs and so ask for whatever they think or see. Just providing them with everything they ask wouldn’t make you a good parent. Indeed, it will turn your child into a whimsical person ending up in tantrums. It is the responsibility of every parent to decide for the kids and let them know what they need and what they don’t.
Be Clear and Consistent
As parents, it is quite normal to go out of the limits sometimeswhen you have your own mood swings and bad days. But still, you need to be patient and kind with whatever you do to your child. Showing up love one moment and exploding the next moment for no reason is going to confuse your child for sure. As a parent, you need to be clear and consistent in setting the boundaries for your child. If they are prohibited to watch too many cartoons, it has to be the same every other day and no excuses even when you have a personal work or there are guests at home. What you do and say has to be consistent and should not change constantly or else they will throw out tantrums because of no stability or clarity in your actions.
Let Them Know the Consequences
When something goes wrong because of your child’s naughtiness, don’t shout at your child or punish them abruptly. You might get angered because of his/her clumsiness or bad behavior but do not lose your temper. Bad behaviors while being naughty are never acceptable. If they show tantrums bythrowing away things, breaking them,or hurting someone,let them face the aftermath of the situation and set things right. Let them know what consequences their behavior will have. Knowing the consequences of their actions teaches them to be responsible for their actions. Being cruel or obsolete is not going to help anyway and all you need to do is let them know what consequences their actions would bring on themselves as well as others.

Multilingual Children Grow into Individuals with Better IQ

  “A different language is a different vision of life.”- Federico Fellini Language holds the key to the cognitive development of the mind. When a child learns to speak a language, he/she connects the sensory experiences with the words and terms used to express the same. Admittedly, it takes a lot of coordination and brain potential to establish a connection between the two and master the language. But it is this very coordination that is related to higher levels of intelligence. Intelligence is nothing but how agile your brain turns out to be with the experiences you go through. The acquired information, knowledge, and other skills and abilities contribute to the growth of intelligence. Language, too, helps sharpen the intelligence quotient of the brain by enhancing its cognitive abilities. Experts and researchers often say that a child, having knowledge of multiple languages, is more likely to respond to the experiences aptly than one with limited knowledge of the language. Every ...

Building a Sense of Play around Math Problems

With the gradual advancement of the methods related to education and learning processes, teaching and learning the curricular subjects have become more interesting. In earlier days teachers used a rule book to teach and hardly stepped out of that which made the entire process of learning serious and boring to the children. However, with illustrations getting added and life experiences being summoned to each chapter, the subjects have become far more appealing to the children. This methodological change in the way of teaching has made subjects like mathematics, which bear a general perception of being difficult, easier and engaging. It is obvious that any child would be attracted by the colorful appearances and easy to relate examples as compared to monotonous operational methods. We at K.R. Mangalam World School, believe in igniting the interest of the students so that no external pressure or compulsion needs to be exerted to them to make them find interest in solving mathematics....
