Today in our society we celebrate when newborns come into the world. We have baby showers and do various things to prep for the baby’s arrival, after the baby Is born, we know that the baby has to go through different stages in order to become a child, young adult, and an adult.

Knowing where your child is at on their growth can help create reasonable behaviors for your child behaviors. If you expect your child to do something that can exceed their capabilities then you are only frustrating them. A child who is being raised by a parent who takes their child development very serious learns to consider the limits of others children. It helps your child to see and accept others where they are along their own trajectory of growth. Parents have the fundamental responsibility of protecting, teaching, caring, and loving their child.
Effective parenting requires a lot of work, study, and practice. Ramirez,2007) Parents ask one important question about their child and its Why should or shouldn’t parents discipline their child? There are four ways why parents should discipline their child. The first way is to have an understanding of the concept of what’s right and what’s wrong. The second way Is to have self- control over your child. The next way is to teach your child to have respect for rights and feelings of others. The last way is to be for sure that your child will grow into an adult. (Placing, 2009)
One main reason for children’s challenging behaviors Is their Inability to express their true feelings to each other which sometimes occurs in tantrums. Based on Jean Piglet’s theory of object permanence infants only start to develop the understanding to looking tort a “hidden object” at about eight months to age (Berger,1998), which explains the reactions of a 10 month old versus those of a 3-month-old. Some of the key concepts for managing challenging behaviors are listed below: Stay calm- A parent who shows their child angry can have their child afraid of them.
Give clear and positive directions- Your child needs to exactly what you expect of them and they will respond even If they are upset. Be consistent- Children learns more from the way you act than from you telling them. Set boundaries and be creative about it-let makes them to feel less overwhelmed and more secure. These practical and effective tips are easy-to-remember tools that not only minimize tantrums but also encourage problem-solving skills In young child.
