hello dear abigail
Clinical psychologist JB Peterson says that for children to thrive in society and, therefore, in life, they need to be informed, their behavior must be modulated. <
We must give our children a lot of love, trust and attention even more in the face of aggressive behavior
At home we must create a family atmosphere of trust so that you can express your emotions. We must explain to him that it is normal to get angry or feel angry but the answer is not to hit, but he can tell us how he feels and thus discharge his emotions. Congratulate him for making good bed, for picking up his plate, for having behaved at a certain time and not having resorted to aggressive behavior
Be an example for the child: our attitude should not be aggressive, if they see us shouting, losing patience or slamming doors, we should not be surprised if they are aggressive. We must be congruent and be a role model for them children are aggressive because they learn to be aggressive, they can also learn to stop being aggressive.
Being close to Lilly is not exactly pleasant, other children and adults avoid it whenever they can. You never know how you're going to react later, and worst of all, we have to keep an eye on her at all times. When I say look, I mean it. She takes center stage. If you do not look at her, she will physically force you to do it <
In the case of Lilly what she does is to draw attention, her parents have to make her understand that her behavior was not adequate and even perform some privative or educational punishment without mistreatment and with much love to discipline her and, of course, she must ask for forgiveness to the person who hurt.
I wish you a happy weekend.
Very important points here @josmarly :)
Disciplining a child doesn't not mean to be aggressive towards them. Love, communication and rewarding good behaviour is always the way to go. But is is also very important for parents to set limits and learn to say 'no' when necessary.
