A child who is being corrected for bad behaviour may not necessary be totally to blame for this bad behaviour.
The child may be tired from a hard evening battling it out with aliens on a computer or some other form of electronic game system. He may be tired from a hard night watching television .He may be ill and you haven’t picked up on it yet..
So do try to be careful when you are dishing out punishments to the young ones. The answer to sorting out this bad behaviour is simple. The child needs to be removed from the item that is causing his tiredness, such as electronic games or television etc. If he is not well then deal with that as well. A tired child or “just fed up” child struggles to understand reality or what their parents need from the child.
Please have faith in yourself, you are the adult, the book of experiences and wisdom, you will get there.
