If you're wondering what you can do to improve your children's behavior the you should read this article to find out. In this article we'll look at why the way you behave when around your children is important if you want to make sure your children behave. It's not what you say, it's what you do!
Children learn by watching their parents and other role models such as their caretakers. This means that if you tell your child not to do something, but she sees you do it, she'll think it's ok. A perfect example is when you tell your children not to curse, but when the telemarketer calls you right in the middle of dinner (for the fifth day in a row), you tell him in a not so polite way to stop calling...
Your children will hear this and the next time they're playing with their dolls or action figures, you'll hear them use the exact same words as you did to that poor telemarketer.
But it's not only your words they'll take notice of... If you cross the street when the light is red, they'll notice that and next time they're crossing the road alone, they'll do as you and cross the street... even if the lights are red.
Try to watch how your kids play and listen to what they're saying. I'm sure you'll find that a lot of the words they're using is words they learned from you.
Children process all the impressions they get throughout the day while they play. If you're ever worried about how your child is feeling, watch and listen as she plays with her toys and you'll learn a lot about what's going on her life.
To conclude, remember that you as a parent, is the most important person in your child's life and therefore you must act as a role model and always try to be a good example.
