Send an E-Card AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' 13 techniques for raising obedient kids by Jan Faull of 5 As parents, we all expect some level of obedience from our kids. When we yell, "Stop, don't run into the street," we expect our child to obey. If we tell our child to brush her teeth and get ready for bed, we hope she'll do it without whining, arguments or too many complaints. Too often, though, it's a struggle to get kids to behave properly without a fight. The "do it because I said so" method that so many parents resort to is usually ineffective. Overpowering the child only challenges the child to resist, leaving her undisciplined and the parent frustrated. 13 TECHNIQUES THAT REALLY WORK Fortunately, there

How Can Parents Encourage Responsible Behavior? Activities: ... What We Can Do To Help Our Children Learn Forums Raising our Kids Related Articles How to Teach Your Children Discipline Introduction Our children deserve to learn important lessons from us and to acquire important habits with our help. They need help in learning what matters to us. We want our children to grow up to be responsible adults. We want them to learn to feel, think, and act with respect for themselves and for other people. We want them to pursue their own well-being, while also being considerate of the needs and feelings of others. Today, there is wide recognition that many of our children are not learning to act responsibly while they are young. Studies show that many children see nothing wrong with cheating on tests. Some see nothing wrong with taking things that don't belong to them. If proper attitudes and behavior are not learned early, problems can mushroom with even worse consequences when children are older. As crime has increased, teen-age offenders have shown less and less feeling for their victims. But even for the youngsters who will never commit a crime, it is better to learn responsibility when they are young, rather than when they are older and they have to change bad habits.

The Daily Parent Home A Newsletter for Working Parents Summer 1998 Why Does My Child Act Like That? Introduction All parents wonder at times whether their child's behavior is normal. Children at every age exhibit embarrassing or frustrating behaviors: whining, tantrums, bathroom talk, swearing, or bossiness. These behaviors test your patience and can leave you at your wit's end. As much as you love your child, his actions can make you feel uncomfortable and vulnerable to other people's criticism. Parents ask: "Why is he doing this?", "Will she outgrow this?", "What should I do?" For each challenging behavior, parents struggle with what is normal, what is acceptable, and how to deal with it. Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between unacceptable behavior and normal development. Is This Behavior Normal?

88. Early Years Are Learning Years #99/11 Biological factors such as visual impairments, tactile sensitivities, auditoryand speech disorders, or motor disabilities may affect a child's behavior. http://www.naeyc.org/resources/eyly/1999/11.htm

Understanding Behavior: A Key to Discipline Teachers, parents, and caregivers all struggle with some behaviors and actions of the children in our care. Wouldn't it be nice to have a magic formulaa specific bit of advice or strategy to work in all situations? Of course there is no magic formula, but it helps to remember that children's behaviors do not occur in a vacuum. Instead, they are driven by five basic issues or possibilities that help explain a child's actions. Understanding these issues and being a reflective rather than reactive parent or caregiver will result in more positive outcomes for both the caregiver and the child, creating in the process an atmosphere that supports and nurtures the child. 1. Is this a developmental stage? Many problems that occur in infancy and early childhood appear at the onset of a new developmental stage. Each new phase of development brings challenges for the child and the child's caregivers. For example, body independence in the child's second year and an emerging sense of an independent self elicit a period of negativism. Feeding and sleeping problems also may occur during developmental transitions, and it helps if caregivers are extra patient and loving in their responses. It's best to give a child choices, use humor, and be firm but supportive. Parents will find this period good practice for the teenage years when many of the same issues of independence emerge again on a more complex scale.

89. Frank Approach To Adolescents And Internet Pornography who also serves as chairman of the National Center for Missing and Exploited children,says to be careful to distinguish the child's behavior from the feelings http://www.safekids.com/frank.html

Frank approach to adolescents and Internet pornography by Larry Magid June 24, 2000 THERE has been much hand-wringing recently about how to keep children away from online pornography. But let's be honest about the problem. Many children especially post-pubescent boys are interested in this type of material. You might not like the idea that 14-year-olds are looking at pictures of naked people, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an extremely common occurrence. Today's column isn't about young children or children who accidentally come across unwanted sexual material. Those are different issues. The question I want to explore is how a parent should react if they discover their growing child typically 12 or older is deliberately looking at sexually explicit material on the Internet. First, recognize that there's nothing new about teens looking at such material. We didn't have the Internet when I was 14, but that didn't stop me from getting my hands on copies of Playboy. Unlike some of my friends, I didn't have a stash of the magazines under my bed, but I sneaked an occasional glance whenever the chance arose. Let's also be honest about why most young males look at pornography. Sometimes it's curiosity, but in many cases especially for males past puberty, it's for stimulation at times when no one else is around.

Striking Gold with Feingold When Foods Affect Your Child's Behavior By J.J. Hanley Last May, 22-year-old Kori Schneider graduated from New York University. For her mother Judy, watching Kori receive her diploma was an experience that she thought she might never see. "I sat with the tears flowing at how much she had accomplished and how far she had come," Judy said, remembering the nightmare of Kori's early childhood. At age two, Kori had never slept through the night. "We were exhausted from that," Judy said. "But then she started having complete mood swings. She would wake up every night, screaming from nightmares with her legs and arms flailing. Eventually she began having tantrums during the day. I hate to say it, but she reminded me of the child in the exorcist. It was a horror." Judy knew intuitively that what her daughter was experiencing was much worse than a case of the terrible two's, but she had no idea what was wrong. "Even my neighbors knew she was having a problem," she said of the screams that could be heard up and down their street in Staten Island, New York. In fact, during one tantrum, Judy placed Kori on the front lawn of their home to prove to neighbors that she wasn't harming the girl. Judy described her daughter's difficult behavior as "autistic-like." Although her language was developing normally, she had poor motor skills and seemed disconnected from the world around her, especially when she was having a tantrum.

Strategies for teaching children with behavior disorders Adolescent Stealers' and Nonstealers Social Problem-Solving Skills Ages: 13 to 16 The article compared social problem solving skills of children who were in a detentional facility to children who seldom got into trouble. They used teenage males between the ages of 13 and 16 years old. At the end of the experiment each boy was given $10. There were 22 to men in all, 11 from each category. The researchers first wrote a letter to each of the boy's parents informing them of what was going to happen and they also got permission to administer the means-end problem solving test. This test measures the ability that each boy had to develop a step by step plan to solving hypothetical problems. The result of the study was that stealers' were less likely to consider the passage of time for achieving a goal as compared to nonstealers. Source: Greening, Leilani.

PREVENTING BULLYING T AKE A STAND : Prevention of Bullying and Interpersonal Violence NEW Bullying is something most children encounter in one form or another. Children struggle with being called names, being picked upon, being excluded, not knowing how to make friends, or being the ones acting unkindly or aggressively toward others. All forms of bullying are abusive and all are opportunities to teach children how to get along, how to be considerate people, how to be part of a community or group. The TAKE A STAND Program is a revolutionary approach to prevention of bullying. Starting at the Kindergarten level and progressing through Grade 5, children learn about bullying, its effects, how to stop it and the importance of mutual acceptance and respect. For the first time, schools, churches, youth groups, after school programs, etc have a tool to teach all children how to be advocates for creating a community that will not tolerate bullying behaviors; to teach children who are bullied how to stand up for themselves; and to teach the bullies themselves alternate ways of handling their own feelings of not belonging.

94. Behavior Modification Facilities- Fact Sheet outside world, and employ a system of graduated levels of earned privileges and punishmentsto stimulate behavior change. The child's communication privileges http://travel.state.gov/behavior_modification.html

U.S. Department of State Washington, D.C. FACT SHEET BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION FACILITIES There has been an increase in the number of facilities around the world for the treatment of minors with drug/alcohol and discipline problems. These private overseas treatment centers are known as "Behavior Modification Facilities." Parents enroll their children in these facilities with the hope of improving their children's problematic behavior. The Department of State is aware of these facilities in Costa Rica, Jamaica, Mexico, Samoa, and one under construction in Fiji. There may be facilities in other countries that have not come to the attention of the U.S. government. U.S. citizen parents who place a child in these facilities typically sign a contract for their child's treatment that authorizes the facility's staff to act as agents for the parents. These contracts often give the staff blanket authorization to take all actions deemed necessary, in their judgment, for the health, welfare, and progress in the child's program. The facilities tend to isolate the children in relatively remote sites, restrict contact with the outside world, and employ a system of graduated levels of earned privileges and punishments to stimulate behavior change. The child's communication privileges may be limited. The Department of State has no direct knowledge of the corporate or legal structure of these enterprises or of their precise relationship to each other, including ties to organizations in the United States. Though these facilities may be operated and staffed by U.S. citizens and populated primarily by U.S. citizen minors, the host country where the facility is located is solely responsible for compliance with local safety, health, sanitation, and educational laws and regulations, including all licensing requirements of the staff in that country. These standards, if any, may not be strictly enforced or meet the standards of similar facilities in the United States.

Home Articles Resources Links ... Contact Ways to Help Your Child and Help Yourself At the Same Time William Steele, M.S.W., Psy.D. Understand: Trauma is like no other experience. It brings out reactions you may have never seen before, nor your child has ever experienced. Your child may not have control over his behavior because the terror he experienced has left him feeling out of control. It may be that terror which is driving his behaviors. As long as a childs behavior is not hurting others or himself, it is okay. If your childs behavior is upsetting to you, it is best to talk with a trauma specialist before reacting because these behaviors need special intervention. Be Patient: Trauma destroys a childs sense of safety and security. They will need time to feel safe again and to feel you can protect them. As a parent of a traumatized child, it will be very difficult to see your child return to behaviors he engaged in years earlier, to see them act entirely different than the child you knew them to be before their trauma. They need you to be patient. Whatever behaviors they turn to after their trauma, no matter how strange or frightening they are for you, it is your childs attempt to feel powerful and safe again. Be patient. Do not push them to change or to stop until you have consulted a trauma specialist

Section Front E-mail This Story Printable Version Study: Children Attending Daycare More Likely To Show Aggressive Behavior Apr. 20, 2001 (CBS) According to a new study, young children who spend an extended period of time each week in daycare may be more likely to misbehave when they are in kindergarten. Researchers found that children who spent 30 hours or more per week in daycare had the most severe behavior problems later on in kindergarten. Sarah Friedman, lead author of the study, is a child psychologist at the National Institute on Child Health and Human Development. The study was comprised of three papers. One looked at how the quality of childcare can affect children's behavior. The second paper examined what kind of effect the quantity of time in daycare can have on a child's behavior, and the third looked at how the type of childcare can affect a child's behavior. The conclusions in the study were based on ratings of children by their mothers, the childcare providers, and kindergarten teachers. The study found that the higher the quality of childcare in the first 3 years of life, the better the outcome cognitively, in language and achievement. The researchers also found that children who spent an average of 26 hours per week in non-maternal care were more likely to be rated to have behavior problems.
