One of my friend's son is very destructive in nature, i wonder how a 5-7 year old kid is so very destructive, i dont have the experience because i have a girl baby who is very soft and sensible in nature, but the reverse is the things i hear about my friends son. He is too destructive in nature. Inspite his parents being so well educated and well behaved the society where the kid moves is also good, the only culprit i see is kids of these type watches too much of destructive video through television media, cd player etc, is this the impact of it. How to tame such kids, i believe no kids are bad by birth, its the circumstances which make them like this, how should we bring back to the track.
I would like to have an expert opinion, if any psycatrist or a pedeatrician in mylot pls guide me, may be many would be benefited by this discussion, for this is one of the serious problem of day today life which most of the parents undergo.
Would welcome your valuable suggestions.

I too have seen such adament kids who behave rashly and parents scolding them for their mischieves.There is a 3 year old boy opposite to my house who is a adament child.he has joined school this year and coming for tuitions to my home.
He enters our home with a loud cry and his mother trying to convince him get harsh words and pulls from him.sometime he never opens his mouth to read and just nods his head as reply.he will keep his school bag with himself and never allows other kids to even touch that bag or his belongings and if someone touches he just beats or pinches them..His mother just feels bad and she also gets complaints from other parents for his sons behaviour with his classmates.
Out of anger parents beats their kids badly which will not bring any remedy to their behaviour.Rather they must talk to them with kindness which can only change them gradually.

I think you need to stop blaming things like TV, Music & the like, parents are always the ones that need to make sure theat their child is well behaved & well mannered.
Chances are, they've spoilt this kid far too much & has let him get away with too much over the 5-7 years that they have no control over him. If you let them get away with something once, they'll keep thinking they can get away with it all the time.
This child just needs some rules & boundaries, the parents need to stop letting him get away with everything & set those boundaries.
A lot of people realise too late that they've spoilt their kids & can no longer control them.
So anyway, you need to stop blaming technology, parents are the ones allowing the behavious so the parents need to learn to stop allowing it & make sure their child is well behaved & respectful.
