Taming the Tot -Behavior Patterns- 1

Feelings and emotions are very important factors in the process of growing up.Emotions are a combination of physical and metal states.Environment plays a very important part that affects emotions.Children can be happy, sad , aggressive, exited, jealous ……..We as parents and teachers must not try to suppress the child’s feeling. We should try to understand why the child is behaving in a particular way.We should never think the child to be bad or think these are moral issues.We have to work patiently and with love.

Remember :-

.  Never ridicule a child.

.  Always maintain your calm.

.  Be patient and loving .The child should never feel he is not liked.

.  Never single out a child in a group.Always take him aside and talk so the      he is not embarassed.

.  There is no magic word or method you can use to bring up your child into a     perfect person.

.  The child should always feel safe and secure.

.   Last of all set rules which you must abide to so that the child understands he cannot take advantage.

TEMPER TANTRUMS:-

Children start throwing tantrum by 2/3 years. At this age the kids are kings of their universe.Their parents almost always like to fulfill their whims and fancies ,little realizing that they are spoiling them.As kids grow they realise that throwing tantrums becomes a way of asserting themselves when their desires are not met.

Avoiding tantrums entirely is not possible. Gentle yet firm handling can help .Simple rules can be set and they must be followed.Each child is different so one cannot generalise disciplinary rules. Many a time one of the best way is to ignore the tantrum and give no special attention -after a while the child may resume his play.Parenting is not easy.It is all about love and patience.

Here are some children in a nasty mood hoping their demands will be fulfilled.They try all kinds of ways.Have a look at the pictures bellow.

Children are very smart they know what to do so that you  fulfill their demands.

Here are a few things that can help you discipline your child and also keep tantrums under control.Remember like i said earlier there is one one thing you can do which works with kids- No fairy wand works every time.There is no magic to discipline.-

–  Do not give into all demands espeically the unrealistic ones.Learn to draw     a line.  Only you will know when-  its your child.

–  Be calm and confident while handling the child during a tantrum.Never          feel guilty, be  firm yet gentle.

–  Set rules and be consistent.Kids know your weakness.Aggressive           behaviour should be best avoided with silence and disapproval.Let the child     calm down before you start a dialogue.

–  Be a good role model. Do  not scream and throw tantrums in front of your   child however angry you are.

–  Give positive attention and reinforce positive behaviour.

Many times tantrums set in due to frustration or lack of attention.Remember a tantrum does not reflect on your upbringing.

Do not try to analyse every action of your child. You are his teacher -he has to learn right and wrong and learn to make his decisions as he grows.

In the next few posts I shall write about some behaviour patterns which every parent gets concerned about.

Relax you are doing a good job bringing up your child. Always have faith in yourself.

Archimedes’ Principle

Archimedes was a Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born around 2500 years ago. He loved math so much that often he forgot to eat when he was solving problems.

The most famous story about Archimedes:-

Archimedes was always thinking about problems wanting to solve them.  One day when he went for a bath he was so busy thinking that he did not see the bathtub was full to the brim.He slid into the bathtub and noticed a large quantity of water flowed out of the bathtub.

He suddenly jumped out of the tub and screamed “Eureka! Eureka!” Which means i have found it in Greek.

So kids he discovered that when an object is put into water ,  there would be  an upward force from the water which would push up the object -this force is equal to the weight of water displaced by the object.You will learn and understand this as you grow up .

This is the principle behind all the boats and ships. Do you know what a submarine is? Very simply it is a ship which is almost always travelling under water.

The submarine is a very good example of Archimedes Principle:-

sub  sub1

The submarine displaces a large amount of water so the upward force from the water on to the submarine is very large. That force is more than the weight of the submarine so it does not sink.

When the submarine has to be brought up ,the captain empties out its own water tank- this makes the submarine lighter- Now the upward force of water is more , so the submarine comes up.

Kids you must sit with your daddy he will demonstrate and show you.
