3. Explain in Patience
Your child wants to know how the way you
ask him to do something affects him. For
instance, if your child is throwing his toy on the
floor, instead of telling him “you will scratch the
floor, or you will spoil the toys,” try to say
something like “you can’t play with it anymore as
the toy will be spoiled if you throw it this way.”
Besides, you can try describe the problem to
your child. Instead of saying, “please tidy up
your toys,” you may address the problem by
telling your child, “your toys are scattering on the
floors; mummy has no space to walk through.”
