How to handle children having a bad mood attitude?

For a child that likes to throw tantrums. Well, time out to begin with. If the parent has a special spot where they can sit a chair. Set the time out for 9 minutes, being her age, if she is still acting up, ground her to her bedroom for the rest of the day. This doesn't seem to help, then honestly, she may need a spanking. If you don't set up a structure right away when children are young with a discipline plan, this can really hurt you as a parent.

A lot of the time, it is not really the fault of the child when they act this way. Behaviour like this can be caused by the chemicals in the foods that the child is being fed. These chemicals cause the child to act in ways that they are not able to control. This situation compounds when they are punished by the parent and then eat the same foods again. Most people are unaware of just how many nasty chemicals there are in these so called foods. It is not just in the high sugar sweet drinks and foods either. Nasty chemicals can also be found in foods that the media often portray as being healthy options. The parents unknowingly are poisoning their kids and then wonder why the kids are playing up. The best thing to do is monitor the foods she is eating and how she behaves afterwards. We have done this and can tell what the results will be when our son eats simple things such as bread and milk that most people consider healthy. He cannot handle them!

Well, let theme be.. LEt them scream for all they want, and dun give in.. The more one gives in to them, they will know what to do the next time round, in order to get what they want.. Thus, by letting them cry, scream etc, might be a good way to vent their frustration thru the right channels, rather than keeping quiet?? That will be fine if they are still young.. BUt what happen if they starts growing up, and by keeping quiet, yet they are venting their emotions thru hurting themselves??

I wish i could help you about that but i just want to share with you what I noticed with my daughter. A couple of years before she started her monthly periods she was really moody at times. She was old enough i would just leave her alone and go out visiting people myself. At the time i didnt know what her problem was. I still dont know if her moodyness was connected to that but think its a possibility. Maybe thats why this girl your talking about is moody. Ya never know. She just has to accept what her mom says.

Hiya amyson, Depends on how long she plans to keep up that kind of behaviour. Towards mine I have been pretty understanding to a point but I won´t go past that point enough is enough. I used to treat the situation as it came up I did´t have any very set rules. It all depends why she is doing it too although with someone of that age it´s a bit tricky as she is not my daughter but if she were I would not tolerate it for long.

Hi Amyson, It is a normal process that all kids undergo in a certain period of time. Now, it’s a challenge to all parents on how to handle moods and attitudes in such a way that you will not spoil your child and let her feel your love despite her having tantrums. Let her do her thing—if she wants to scream, cry and have tantrums let her. After a while ask her if she’s ready for a talk. Ask her to go with you inside the room. Hold her hand and ask her what the problem is? Then start responding in a good tone of voice where she will not be scared to you instead she will listen to your words. Make it a friendly conversation. Explain the good and bad side for the decision of not letting her go or you can ask her thoughts why she’s not allowed to go? And ask her too if her reaction is fine and nice enough to do just because she was not allowed to go? Focus on the problem and behavior and never let her feel she is being scolded. It’s here behavior not her as a person or as your child that’s being talk about during the conversation. She will always be loved that’s why you are concerned about her safety. End the conversation with a hug an assurance of love and care.

hi amyson, first I would talk to her as one adult to another and find out why she is acting up like that, then if she did not calm down, she would be marched into another room, and stay there until she feels she can act like a normal child again. I do not believe in spanking at all, but in respecting a child , listening to a child, then rebuking that child a nd making her take time out to think about her actions. she must respect others as they respect her.

i have a four year old boy, and yes its really hard to handle their moods, sometimes i lost my patience on him, and to avoid shouting at him nor scolding him, i let his nanny do the stuff on him instead of me.

Hi amyson: When a child gets into a tantrum to get what he want the best way is to say "calm down so we can talk about it, if you are crying we can't understand each other". As soon as he calms kneel in front of him so that you are at eye level, lift his chin so he can look into your eyes and talk to him in a calm but firm voice explaining why he can't do whatever it is he wants right now, and tell him when he will be allowed. Then tell him something else he can do instead of what he wanted. That way you teach him to calm his temper and to barter for what he wants. You do that consistently and soon you will see a change in the child's temper. Good luck, because I know is not easy.

In my house her actions would result in a time-out. Crying for no reason is not acceptable and not speaking to me becuase she was mad that I did not give in is even worse. I would send her to a spot to cool down and when she was willing to discuss why she felt I was being unfair and listen to my reasoning we could talk it.

Instead of saying them a plain "NO" it is always better to explain them the reason behind the "NO". Give them a better option which would make them feel glad. Divert their attention to something of their interest or promise to take them to the neighbour later.

Children can't be allowed to run the home. A parent has to be a parent. If this were my child, I would have consequences for the poor decision to throw a temper tantrum and refuse to talk. Children need to be taught to show respect and honor to their parents. I would explain to my child the reason for my decision. Then if my child were to be disrespectful or have a tantrum. I would leave her alone to have her tantrum, then later when the child is expecting a ride to a friend or dinner to be prepared for her, I would gently explain that I don't cater to disobedient and disrespectful children. She would have to then choose a punishment, whether it is some chores to be completed, or no tv/video games that day, or not going to her friends house. When the child accepts and shows that she can act appropriately, then I will go back to doing the things I normally do for her.

we are responsible for children's bad mood it means how we are doing our work over the children and children will learn whatever we will do and on the time of children is in bad mood than we have to do whatever is children like to do and try to make children happy and we think at that time like a children for that we also have to become children.

i dont have kids yet, but when we we're kids one wink from my father quiet us. he's very sweet, loving dad, but when he's angry we gotta hide, so better behave than do our thing. i think that depends on how the parents train their kids, that's what am afraid of, i don't like bully kids- generation of today is quite difficult to handle. one reason why i dont like to have kids. hehehe just don't know what to with them hehehe

Hello, she is 9 and she still does that? unbelievable. you said her mom doesn't spoil her? well... I dont think so. if she didn't spoil her then she will not jump and cried and didn't talk to her like that. it has to do with her childhood. may be your sister didn't treat her in the right way to show her how behave. Another thing, you can do is let her do anything but if she does something bad then punish her and make it serious one. she has to quit of crying and jumping cuz it is not for 9 years old girl.

Well, in m own experience with my nephew and nieces, when they are in bad moods I usually left them alone until their temper went down. Once they cried, refuse or become so busy with their self like they are playing computer games they do no like to be disturb. Then, if you constantly remind them they would think of you as something annoying, the more reminder, the more they would ignore you. So when they already get over with their temper it is then i ask them what they like to eat which is not an expensive things as i would not like to spoil them. i prefer to give them advices and be with them whenever they need me still they could have their freedom to explore of their own then out of curiosity they could learn something..

I'd bust their butt. No need in allowing this kind of behavior or it will continue and the parents /mom or dad will just end up allowing her to do as she pleases and there will be no respect for the parents at all. Nip it in the bud, bust the girls' butt and sit her down and tell her no more !!

I have expierenced the same situations with my kids in the past. Its a power struggle game they play at that age to sorta voice their independence and to test the waters to see whos going to be the boss. How i handled it with mine was if they had inappropriate behavor like fit throwing they would get privlidges taken away and have a cool down time in thier room until they could reagain control of thier behavior. This helped alot with my kids because it showed them i was the boss and they needed to listen to what rules i was making. Children sometimes need to have some alone time to think about their behavor and then when calmer try talking about it with them. Ask questions like Do you know why you had to go to quiet time in your room? What behavior do you thing mom didnt approve of? How can i help you to not have this behavor again next time? Parenting isnt easy thats for sure. Its all about teaching kids to grow up to be the best adults they can.

this sort of thing usually happens to my second child who is 13, we do have to discipline them some times, an unreasonable tantrum, is not tolerated in our home, we treat our kids as adults, we ask them for their reason why they are acting like that, they have to reason out, (usually parents win) but we always ask their side of the story. sometimes we give them TASK, which completed we will allow to their request. My 11 year old Son is very at this Task, he knows his way around his Mom.

child the god best creation free from any corruption worries. I f we find such attitude in any child this is because of our attitude some time just to make child happy we even accept the wrong things which motivate the child later on to react in such way when ever he/she want you accept his/her demand. Instead on accepting the wrong demand refuse them gently and allow them to make cry or even scream so next time they should under stand that what is there limitation are.
