Common Problem in Early Childhood

Problem: How to stop children tantrums?
Solution:

1.  Many so-called "discipline methods" are actually cleverly disguised forms of punishments and rewards that can cause your child to suffer the lifelong consequences of having a lower sense of self-confidence... yet the parenting marketing industry continues to lie to you so they can maximize their profits by selling you watered-down versions of lashing kids with belts.
2.  Disciplining methods such as rewards, consequences, and manipulation are actually the LEAST effective method of getting your child to listen and cooperate. We'll explore what types of methods REALLY work in a minute.
3.  Sitting your child down for a painful "talking to" or forcing your child to take "responsibility" are NOT the best way to stop misbehavior and unleash the genius inside your child... I'll tell you the exact types of unique child discipline that produce 10x better results below.
4.  You DON'T need to waste your money on expensive child psychiatrists or doctors who push expensive pharmaceutical drugs to help control your child's behavior. These drugs can have serious consequences and they never address the real problem that causes the misbehavior.  I'll show you how to use the power of child brain science in more detail below.

Problem: The child has no friends
Solution:
 
IF YOU WANT TO ENCOURAGE FRIENDSHIPS, START YOUNG AND START SMALL
Get together on a regular basis with another mother and baby so your child can get used to playing next to another child.
In nursery school, encourage the teacher to suggest to children to play together. Take the initiative to set up play dates after school with children your child likes. Set up dates with other mothers to take your children to the museum, the library for story hour, the community center or for activities like gymnastics, music or swimming. Above all, be patient and understanding. Encourage, but don't push. Some of us take longer to make friends than others.
If you feel that you have tried many avenues and the child still doesn’t or can't make friends, or if he seems too introverted or too sad-looking, it may be time to seek professional help. If some trauma or crisis has occurred, like the birth of a new sibling, a move to a new home, or the prolonged absence of a parent, your child may become clingy or want to stay home. Be patient and supportive.
Most important, just be there for your child. He needs friends, but at this age, he needs you more!

Problem: The child witnessed the intercourse of the parent
Solution:
The issue here is not so much what he saw but how he understood it. He needs to be asked: What woke him up and why did he come into your room? What did he see? How did he feel about it? On the basis of what he says, you can respond in kind.
He needs to know that grown-ups who love one another express their feelings in different ways, including physical affection, like when mom and dad kiss or hug during the day. When parents are alone in their room, being naked and touching each other is another way of showing love. "You too will do that when you're a grown-up." To prevent this in the future, the door to your bedroom should be shut and locked when you're making love.
The children should also be taught to respect your privacy and not bother you when the door to the bedroom is closed. 

Problem: The child don't want to doschoolworks
Solution:
You may wish to speak with your child's teacher and tell her that your daughter may not be ready yet for formal assignments. Speak to the parents of other children in her class. You might discover that the assignments are hard for other children. If so, perhaps a group of parents can speak to the teacher and mention that the work seems a bit hard for the children.
Perhaps your daughter is not developmentally ready for an academic program, but next year, after another year of maturation, she will do well in academic studies.
Do not be concerned that your daughter will be left back because of not completing assignments. Occasionally, there is good reason for a child to repeat kindergarten, but at age six, any decisions about academic placement should not be related to school assignments. 

Problem: The older siblings feel jealous to the younger one
Solution:
you make sure that each of your children has some toys or belongings that he or she can call their own. When children have siblings so close in age, it is normal for parents to expect them to share. All children, however, need some items that they can call their own.
This does not mean that you should not encourage your children to share. Rather, every child needs some items that belong to him and that he can choose to share or not.
If your children fight over a certain object, quickly take out a timer and set it for say, five minutes. Give the item to one child (I usually try to give it to the child that had it first although that is not always obvious) and say, "Now it is your turn. When you hear the bell, your turn is over." 
Remind your daughter that she can always play with "her toys" and if your son is upset when you give an item he wants to your daughter, try and distract him quickly with some of his favorite toys. At his age, out of sight is usually out of mind, so if he doesn't calm down when you give him a different toy, suggest that your daughter play with the toy he wants in another room.
Keep in mind that despite your best efforts; there will still be times that your children will fight over their belongings. This reaction is a normal part of early childhood. By implementing the suggestions above, however, you can help your children to understand earlier, rather than later, the concepts of personal belongings and the necessity of sharing.
