<!--more-->Most child behaviour problems are much more prevalent than
parents realise. When a child acts out and throws temper tantrums, a parent may
believe there is something wrong with them. However, there are several very
common behavioural issues; particularly in children aged 2 to 5, that can be
easily corrected.
Let's look at three common issues with child behaviour.
Biting others as a sign of continuing to act out or being upset
- Biting others as a sign of someone being upset or craving attention is common
in toddlers. Almost any circumstance can set off this behaviour. When the act
is committed against other children, the behaviour can be inconvenient and even
dangerous.
Child screams for an extended period - This behaviour trait is a
clear indication of a desire for parental attention. The child is relating his
or her experience as a baby, when crying meant getting attention, to screaming
to get attention or get what they want. This behaviour is common in public
places because the child is not used to being in public and is easily spooked
by the unknown and unconventional surroundings.
Child hitting others, including parents - By hitting others, the
child is expressing his or her anger and frustration. Most toddlers are not yet
developed enough to comprehend proper conflict resolution methods and will
resort to physical violence to gain attention.
These child behaviour issues are fairly common, but they can be
solved and overcome quickly and easily if the proper steps are taken. One can
contact a specialist for dealing with behavioral issues in toddlers.
