Causes for Child Behavior Problems by HG Nadel More often than not, there is a compelling reason behind child behavior problems. There are an infinite number of reasons why a child may display negligent or bad behaviour, the trick is to identify just why they are behaving in this manner. Once the cause of the bad behavior has been established, it is far easier to discipline the child effectively or establish a solution to the deviant behaviour. Here you will find the most established and recognised causes described by HG Nadel for child behavioural problems and causes of action to eradicate or stop that particular behavior trait in the child.
1. Attention Seeking: More often than not this is the primary cause of bad behavior in children. Children will often misbehave deliberately to gain attention. To counter this behaviour, it is important to give your child lots of attention when they are behaving well, this way they will associate good behavior with their desire - attention.
2. Feeling Of Discomfort: children will often behave badly if they are feeling unwell, tired or hungry. As such, it is important to ensure your child gets plenty of rest, exercise and eats well to prevent problems stemming from this cause.
3. Need To Feel Valued: Children possess many of the same needs as adults, we all need to feel valued and feel a part of something friends, family etc. It is key to your Child's happiness to ensure they are included and in no way neglected.
