Dear Mrs. Brown,
I’ve known that you are wondering how to deal with your child's behavior problems. The following are my opinions.
If there are lots of behaviors you want to change, start by focusing on one or two of the most terrible ones at first. Don't try to make too many changes at once.
Let your child make some decisions by giving him acceptable choices. For example, ask,"Do you want some bread or eggs for breakfast? or let him choose between the red and blue clothes.
Have some stated rules and explain the reasons behind them. Let your child understand the results of breaking the rules.
Direct your child and help him find a better place to do what he is trying to do. For example, if he wants to write on the wall with pencils, give him a piece of paper and let him write on it or let him write on the sidewalk with chalks.
Notice your child’s good behavior and tell him you have noticed it rather than praise him. For example, describe what you see," Wow, this room is so clean and everything is in order. rather than praise him like" You' re a good boy Good job
Being a mother is not easy. Remember to treat your child with great patience and love and then you' ll find that you child will become better
Best wishes for you and your family.
