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.
