Bringing Out the Best in Your Child child | Page 8

My 3 year old always seems to misbehave when we are shopping and when I don ’ t buy her what she wants , she starts to throw a tantrum . This is very embarrassing . What can I do to stop this ?
The method I always tell my clients and I believe is most effective ( remember , every child is different ) is : 1- Say No and explain why . 2- Ask them to behave and stop acting silly . 3- They continue misbehaving and then tell them the consequences and start counting to 3 . 4- They stop . This method usually always works for my clients . The kids know the process and the result . So my final answer would be CONSISTENCY .
What is the parenting styling you highly recommend ?
The parenting style I recommend the most is Authoritative . Authoritative parenting is widely regarded as the most effective and beneficial parenting style for normal children . Authoritative parents are easy to recognize , as they are marked by the high expectations that they have of their children , but temper these expectations with understanding a support for their children as well . This type of parenting creates the healthiest environment for a growing child , and helps to foster a productive relationship between parent and child .
