Tips to curb your child's stubbornness without using a whip

Instead of "giving orders", patiently talking and playing with your child will make the child more obedient to his parents.

Every parent will face a situation where their child does not listen to them and only wants to do what they want. Parents can try to change the role. Let the child play the role of the parent, parents will see that the child immediately enjoys the game and becomes more obedient.

What should parents do when their child refuses to listen to punishment? Talk to your child like an adult and explain why he or she did something wrong and why he or she is being punished. Parents can offer options: a cut in allowance or having to wash dishes for a week.

Let your child have a choice even when they make a mistake instead of punishing them by standing in a corner for a long time to think about their behavior. Try to communicate and find a solution to help your child correct their mistake.

If your child refuses to eat and only wants candy, let him have it after the meal. This trick works well if your child is competitive. He will try his best to eat quickly. However, do not try to compromise too much.

If your child eats too slowly and you are too busy to watch over him, make mealtime fun by asking him to count how many spoonfuls it takes to finish a bowl of rice. By doing this, the child will not even realize when he has finished the bowl of rice.

It’s easy to ask your child to do something if you turn it into a game. If your child refuses to get dressed for school in the morning, you can try a game, for example, challenge your child to ask: “See if you can get dressed with your eyes closed?” Children often love to play. Therefore, they will complete their morning tasks more quickly without the need for parents to scold and urge them.
