ijfamily Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Many times, parents are at a loss on how to handle deviant behavior in their kids. This becomes more disturbing when such behavior is exhibited by a child who ordinarily could go for a calm and responsive kid. I have discovered that the most effective tool needed to handle deviant behavior is calmness. Calmness helps the parent or care-giver to think straight without being overtaken by emotions. It also makes it easier for one to patiently work through the whole lump in order to discover the real face behind the child's behavior. In other words, calmness will help you to ask the right questions and take the right steps till you discover the reason(s) behind the unacceptable behavior of the child. Without doubt, if you are able to discover why a child behaves in an unacceptable manner, you should also know what to do and how to guide the child back to the right track. Therefore, the next time you are faced with a deviant behavior, I suggest that you don't give in to emotions and emotional outbursts. Rather, be calm and patiently work your way into the heart of the child. Shalom Quote Link to comment
