Do you see your child's mischief as too little to cause damage?

As a parent, I have come to observe that there are some ill behaviors that are usually exhibited by children at tender ages, and if overlooked, they grow with them and become difficult to curtail. I have also observed how some parents pamper bad manners in children all in the name of "they are still children and before you know it, they will grow with such habits," and no one would enjoy being around children who exhibit ill manners.

I have seen kids disrespect their parents, and the parents ignore the habit and even laugh at some words that comes out from a child because they assume he or she is just a child and therefore does not know what he is doing. Some kids also tell lies for fun, use bad words for fun, and even steal, all in the name of fun, and get away with all these manners. Perhaps some of my fellow parents are waiting for a particular age to start training up their children, and in the process of waiting, the child keeps bearing bad roots that will paint a bad image of the family. Personally, I begin correcting bad manners as soon as my child can understand mild communication, which is at least 12 months old. There is no room for any kind of pampering bad manners, no matter how little, and starting as early as possible will save us unnecessary stress.

These children love to explore different kinds of habits that come to their mind, both the good and the bad, and correcting them at the point we observe any bad manners is the goal. Seeing them as children and ignoring bad habits might be disastrous as they grow older, and I am sure no parent would love to receive a bad report from outside about his or her child. So the earlier the better, we shouldn't see our child's mischief as too little to cause damage, and no wonder the scripture even said that we should train up a child so that when he grows, he wouldn't depart from it.

This morning, I was at my neighbor's house to pass along some information to the mother. While I was there, her 8-year-old son spanked her buttocks playfully, and she didn't alter a word. Then I politely asked her if she was not supposed to caution the boy. And to my greatest chagrin, she said it's nothing; he is just a child. Like seriously, an 8-year-old boy is just a child? What if he unconsciously spanks his female classmates buttocks in school? Have you imagined the repercussions from the school management? Because if he does similar things at home without any corrections from the parents, the child assumes that what he is doing isn't bad but fun and would extend the act outside home without their knowledge.

The best we can do as parents is to always point out their bad habits to them at every point that is observed, correct them either with a rod of correction or any kind of discipline that works well for you and your child, and also encourage them whenever they improve on that.

Me gusta tu punto de vista, así es yo tengo una nena de 2 años y está en la etapa donde se siente invencible, donde ella quiere mandar y wao es sumamente estresante, pero así es debemos corregirlos a tiempo.

0E-8 BEE

Indeed my friend
Many thanks for your time in my blog ❤️

De nada amiga🤗

Hola! Tienes mucha razón esos malos comportamientos hay que corregirlos a tiempo y de la mejor manera posible para evitar que se conviertan en hábitos normales que repitan en cualquier lugar o con cualquier persona. Muy interesante tu post! Saludos 😊

0E-8 BEE

You are very right on this.
I really appreciate your nice comment 👍🥰

Every little thing matters especially with children. They need to be trained and corrected as soon as possible and not just think they are still children. What many of them have started inculcating will shock an adult because these kids learn faster and if one does not caution them with the little bad things, they will feel it´s right, so they continue with it even to outsiders until they grow up to become adapted to such habit until they cannot be changed again. It is from the beginning of a child´s growth they need to start stopping them from doing some wrong things.

Just like that woman whose son spanks on the buttocks and does not talk, he may start abusing his opposite gender like that until he grows up to become a bully. That little thing will cause problems in the future if they do not stop him. An 8 years old boy is not a small child again.

Indeed every little things matters and I wish my fellow parents can see this and stop ignoring some habits before it becomes too late. Some of these children that bully others, if u trace it, some of the symptoms may have started at home but was ignored by the guidance...God will help us
Thank you so much Princess for your beautiful contribution here

0E-8 BEE

Exactly. These symptoms should be noticed from home because if they aren't cautioned, they take it out and start trying it on their peers until they get used to such acts. It's my pleasure too

Some parents use to think that they are just children with time they will learn and stop a bad manner without actually correcting the child.

But the thing is children will l always test their parents with bad manners and if such is left uncorrected as soon as possible they will continue to grow in it thinking it is alright, and before you know it, it becomes a bad habit.

You are right, a bad manner should be corrected in children as soon it is exhibited.

0E-8 BEE

The truth is that without that correction, they wouldn't know that what they are doing is wrong.. corrections doesn't mean we don't love the kids rather it show how much we love them and want the best out of them

Children should always be cautioned when they act wrongly no matter how little they are, there is a way to talk or punish them depending on their age, my little one year 4 month daughter already understand little things, if you see her throw a tantrum, you will feel she is one old mama like that, still I don't overlook, I make sure to talk to her, to calm down and we settle the cause of her tantrums

0E-8 BEE

You are doing well mummy
Little things should be corrected, these children understand things oo , so let's continue to do our best from early age

According to my opinion everything is okay within limit. Sometimes parents need to play strict rule for the better future of their children even if it's hard for parents.

0E-8 BEE

You are very right on this even when the child feels otherwise, he will get to understand the importance of what the parents did to him or her in the future
