5 surprising reasons why children disobey their parents
No parent wants their child to disobey them, but there are reasons why your child doesn't follow adults' orders that you should find out thoroughly to have the right solution.
1. Curious
Children are curious and they want to know what is behind it, why, who did it and could they do it themselves... Such questions are in the mind of children day after day as they grow up. If you ask your child not to do something, they will be curious to know what will happen if they continue to do it. They even like to see where your limits are.
Parents should not get angry because it may make their children more stubborn. When telling their children what they can do or cannot do, parents should explain the reason behind it.
2. Confused
Every day, children will experience new things in life. They will face and decide what actions, how to behave, what is important, what is less important... Your child will even differentiate between rules while reasoning about emotions and making decisions. Children will be confused while deciding whether their parents' requests are right or wrong. Therefore, they may tend to disobey their parents.
3. Difficult to please
Introducing new things to your child is not easy. When they are young, they tend to be picky. Especially when it comes to clothes, games, food and friends, they will express their choices and opinions clearly. Personal identity and personal feelings are important to children, they tend to do things their own way.
If parents have opinions that do not coincide with their children's thinking, the children may not obey or listen.
4. Likes attention
Children love attention. They want people to look at them or talk to them. They may disobey you and do things you don’t want them to do, but you will need to be clear about why they are being told not to.
5. Due to emotions
There are times when children do not want to listen to you because they are sad and want to do things that make them happy, or even want to do something that will make their parents angry. This is a really unacceptable reason for disobedience but you can face this when raising children. Of course, for parents, facing this is not easy.
