How To Discipline A Stubborn Child

children exhibit certain characteristics
consistently. It is a wise observation of a
Montessori caregiver in Hacienda Heights CA.

A clinical psychologist and behavior analyst in
Hacienda Heights CA says that kids this age are
undergoing so many developmental changes that
make them act this way, and it does not mean that
there is anything wrong with them or your
parenting skills. According to him stubbornness
and defiance are actually completely normal
behavior. The toddler starts to think that he is
his own person and he is excited to experiment
with his newfound independence. However, they do
not realize that they lack the physical and
cognitive skills to do everything they desire.
So, when you have to say no to something your
child wants to do, there is a good chance, he
will resist.

But, stubborn children are intelligent and
creative, they will do things better in their
way, these kids are extremely focused on whatever
they work and they need acknowledgment. They do
everything at their own pace and mood. Child
psychologist thinks that Parents should handle a
stubborn child in a very sensitive way.
Communication is the best way to handle a
stubborn kid. If you want that child to listen to
you, you listen to them first. They may become
defiant if they feel that they are not heard. If
you see that your child is strong-willed, do not
force them to do something. They may turn into
rebels. They will do just the opposite of what
you want. The term that best defines this
behavior is counter will.

of giving them direction, give them options.
Yelling or shouting at the defiant stubborn child

use on them.
