Kids ' Behavior

Children are considered to be the hope of our tomorrow . The success of our future may depend on the qualities of children we are producing and disciplining at the present . Children 's behavior is shaped through different factors . They can easily adopt the various attitudes of those people who surround them . Children are great imitators and their minds are just like a blank tablet or also known as the tabula rasa ' that can easily acquire whatever they see from other people especially from the adults they will immediately imitate it

and even do the actions exactly the same as the adults have done it . If children are surrounded with people that uphold high morals and values , they will also grow as children with good values and morals but if the children grow in an environment full of hatred and bitterness , it will also shaped their behavior that may lead them living a miserable life . Children 's behavior can still be guided accordingly if parents will just devote quality time to their kids . Parents should set rules (as part of the discipline ) that need to be followed by their kids and explain to them why they need to follow those rules (see Harrelson , Peggy O . Guiding the Behavior of Young Children . Publication 350-020 , July 1996 . In addition children 's behavior depends on how adults treat them . Proper discipline is also important in shaping the kid 's behavior . Moreover , there are ten ways on how to shape the behavior (positive behavior ) of the children and these are the praise , selective ignoring , time-out , consequences motivators , reminders , negotiation , withdrawing privileges , and humor Two of these ten ways on how to shape the behavior of kids are discusses below (see 10 Techniques To Shape Children 's Behavior . 2006 Praise

Every person in this world , young or old , needs an appreciation especially appreciations coming from our parents . Adults like to be appreciated by others , how much more the children ? It is necessary that you genuinely appreciate kids when they do what is right . And through that appreciation , they will be motivated to do what is right and it will build their confidence as an individual (see 10 Techniques To Shape Children 's Behavior . 2006 Selective ignoring

Adults should be tolerant enough to some annoying actions done by children that do not harm other people , property or animals . Adults should avoid the personality of being don 't do this and don 't do that . They should allow kids to explore because it is part of their growing up . Adults should not easily punish the children unless kids turn to be destructive (see 10 Techniques to Shape Children 's Behavior . 2006
