Children are always the light of the family. They are the sweet cakes in our ordinary day, the joy in our desperate moments, the hope whenever we are about to give up, and the happiness when everything seems to fall apart. Given all these, it is no doubt, children are indeed blessings.
Unfortunately, there are times children become unruly, which causes parents to become stressed so much. They tend to become undisciplined, mischievous, and loud. Oftentimes they can't even be controlled and would just throw tantrums whenever and wherever they want to.
But did you know, despite their naughtiness, experts say there are times your kids are not misbehaving but are just acting normal at their age? Here are some of the situations we often thought kids are being mischievous but are not.
HYPERACTIVITY, RESISTANCE, OR MELTDOWN
There are certain situations where kids tend to become hyperactive, so resistant to discipline, and experience tantrums even around a lot of families, friends, or even strangers. During this time, adults or parents often think about humiliation and their pride. But have you ever wondered why your kid does this in the first place?
Experts say children are likely to act that way due to overstimulation, as explained by Raising Children. This happens when a child is exposed to so many factors that his little body can't bear such as noise, activities, sensations, and experiences.
So, what do you have to do when this happens again? Your little angel should rest for a while or maybe to go home instead. Being in such busy and crowded places can stress your little one so much, he needs to get away from it soon.
UNCONTROLLED IMPULSES
Have you had a moment with your child that made you think how undisciplined he is? Have you scold him or been angry with him because of that? Turns out it is not mostly his fault after all.
Studies show that in their young age, children's physical body has not fully matured yet, as shared by Curious Mind Magazine. That includes their brain regions too. Given this reason, their ability to control impulses is greatly affected.
Through this phase, it is important for parents to properly guide their kids until they are fully-matured enough to control their impulses and resist their urges. So being angry at them won't help a thing. So loosen your grip. Know that until they reach maturity, you must show them lots of love and a thousand tons of patience.
