How can I change my child´s misbehavior?

Catch Them Being Good

Children do not always know what is “good” behavior or bad behavior. They need to be taught (Really!!). When your child shows appropriate behavior, tell him/her. Catching them as often as you can will bring about more change in a behavior than if you yell, scream, or holler. Every child has something they do well. Find out what it is and exploit it. Use it. Encourage it. Re-enforce it. Boast it. For a good book on behavior management, click this link:
