How To Control Unruly Children

Misbehaving children can be very frustrating for parents. In today's post I will cover a few more techniques that can be used to control unruly children. If you haven't read my first article on how to approach unruly children, Click Here to read it.

Parenting children can often lead to situations where parents become frustrated or lose their cool when dealing with unruly children. Your not alone if this happens to you. An important step to take is to keep a cool head and approach the situation calmly. Getting upset or wound up will only make things worse.


- Determine what your child needs

Plenty of children will become disobedient from time to time, no child is perfect (and no parent is for that matter). Attempt to keep this in perspective when managing misbehaving children. If your child is being unruly it is mostly likely because they want something from you, be it attention or an object. Discerning what it is your children wants and providing it, within reason, quickly will satisfy your child's wishes before any confrontation can emerge.

- Establish crystal clear regulations

Both children and parents will benefit from a clear set of rules that are laid down. By doing this your child will not be confused as to what is expected of them. It is also important that parents are consistent in keeping to the rules, if a child breaks a rule the punishment must be given at the time of misconduct and not after it has passed. Be consistent with punishment, if a child feels they can get away with misbehaving once they may try again.

- Use encouragements and incentives

Even if parents are punishing bad behaviour consistently when it occurs, it is not the full solution to the situation. Positive reinforcement of good behaviour is essential to show your child that good behaviour has its benefits. Incentives will differ for children of different ages and sexes. With older children, teenagers, a mixture of punitive measures and incentives can be utilised to achieve the best results.

Misbehaving Children

Troublesome children can be more than a handful to control. For parents, keeping a tab on their children's constant needs, desires and actions can be a daunting task.

Children may not be acting naughty deliberately. Misbehaviour can be due to many things ranging from pushing the boundaries of parental discipline to imitations of parent moods or behaviours and children acting up is just a way for them to tell you that they are unhappy or have unmet needs.

As parents you need to take note of your children's behaviour and try to fulfil their emotional and mental needs. Washing clothes, cooking meals and taking you children to school may feel like you are helping them but it isn't stimulating them mentally. Involve your child in a task which involves measuring or learning a new skill, such as cooking or a set of instructions on setting up a dvd player. The activities and responsibility you give to your child will, of course, be dependent upon their age.

Don't be disheartened if your children seem to be upset, unruly or misbehaving. It is most likely not your fault. It could be a change in environment, such as moving house, or a new experience, such as the first day at school. Children need time to adjust to such changes and you need to be there to advise and guide them through such an event.
