If a child is impertinent and snaps... One mother asked me a question: “What should I do if my 5-year-old daughter often snaps, cannot stand criticism, although she does not say nasty things, doesn’t cry, doesn’t get offended. She’ll just be alone, and then she apologizes, seemingly sincerely.” If a child is insolent, there may be several reasons for this: Childish impulsiveness. This happens if the child has not yet learned to control his fleeting desires and impulses. There is even such a concept in psychology as “weak impulse control.” This happens with increased temperament or activity of the child, which is affected by a lack of parental control. Inconsistency of upbringing or overprotection, when the child knows and feels from experience that mother’s words can be ignored, the mother herself cannot be taken seriously, and in general one can do whatever “I want.” ". A negative attitude, when a child gets used to the fact that his way can be achieved by being harsh, that because of rudeness, the mother is “put out,” gets lost and gives up ground. Example of adults. If adults in the family communicate with reproaches, criticism, mockery and harshness, the child naturally learns: “This is how you need to communicate.” Internal deprivation or disadvantage of the child. If a child suffers from a lack of love, from rough treatment or a “confused” (sometimes irritated, sometimes tender) relationship, he can speak sharply and rudely, relieving internal tension. In the next post I will talk about what to do if a child is insolent and is rude. Read also: Behavior on the playground: how to teach a child to behave.
