To prevent getting angry, do various activities that can help you calm down, such as meditation, exercise, or listening to music.
5. Let Children Learn from Experience
Prohibiting a child through words doesn’t always work. Sometimes the way to educate a stubborn child can be done by giving them a little freedom.
According to the New Kids Center, the goal is for them to understand what you want to convey through experience.
Their own experience can be a more powerful lesson in educating a stubborn child than simply telling them “No.” Children need to learn the consequences of their good or bad behavior as it is with adults.
6. Have a Discussion
Sometimes, you need to negotiate or bargain with your little one. This shows that you are not refusing your child’s request immediately, but are giving them consideration that will train them to make good decisions.
If your child does not want to sleep even though you have asked nicely, ask them why and when they want to sleep. Afterwards, you can invite them to discuss the importance of sleep and determine together the sleeping hours that are suitable for them and to which they understand to abide by or agree with.
7. Create a Positive Environment at Home
Children are both good learners and excellent imitators. So try to educate stubborn children by creating a fun environment at home and setting a good example.
If children often see their parents fighting, chances are they will imitate them when they grow up, especially when there is violence against children.
