Dad University Podcast: 11 Reasons Why Young Children Misbehave & What To Do About it

While it may seem difficult to understand why a child is misbehaving, the reality is that there is typically only a handful of reasons why children have bad behavior. There is usually only a few reasons why they mis-behave.

The most important thing to remember as the dad, is to not take it personally... Especially if you have young kids. They are not out to get you, they are simply learning how to manage is this big world.

So the first reason kids misbehave...they are tired. So put them to sleep. It's not them arguing, it's a zombie trying to communicate.

Another reason they have bad behavior?.....they want to assert their independence or control. Give them choices. Would you like X or Y?

Here's another one: They don’t understand the rules. Be sure to explain the rules, post them if you need to.

They are bored. This one could be your fault if you are constantly making sure your children are entertained. Ask them questions – instead of always being their entertainment – What is something you enjoy?

Next reason....Your expectations are too high – is it normal child behavior? Lower or stop having expectations If you are in a restaurant with a 2-3 year old, you can bet they are going to do something you don't approve of.

They saw it somewhere else – friends or parents. Explain what you want to see not what you don’t want to see

They don’t know how to control their emotions. Teach them to be able to calm themselves, teach them it’s ok to have emotions but need to handle it appropriately...watch our previous video on teaching emotional intelligence

Here's a very common one: they are hungry. Make sure they eat, bring snacks, don’t go too long without food. Being hangry is common

And finally: they just want attention. Don’t give them the attention if they are misbehaving to get it. Be sure to watch our other video on attention.

Like every child, they probably have been rewarded for bad behavior. In other words, they get yelled, reprimanded, etc. but that is still is getting your attention. It's not good. Stop giving them attention for bad behavior.

So that's it for today. Hopefully this shall not only help you understand what is going on with your child when he or she misbehaves, but also solve their problem. Thank you for watching.

Glad you are putting this information out there. It coincides with our approach to parenting -- misbehavior usually occurs when 1) kids are being asked to do something they can't do or 2) their natural urge to assert independence as they get older is misinterpreted as being "disrespectful" or "rebellious."

To avoid #1, watch for signs they are experiencing HALT (hungry, angry, lonely or tired). Take steps to address each (and teach them to self-monitor these and respond to them with appropriate self-care) and the "misbehavior" will disappear pretty quickly.

With #2, give kids choices that are all good for them and acceptable to you. Let them assert and learn how to manage self-direction within safe, appropriate limits.

what can i do if every time i got a problem in life like a fight or argument or anything it's because of my kids. My kids keep getting me in bullshit and i'm always left looking stupid or gotta argue and fight with somebody. I'm so tired, irritated, and pissed with this bs. It's so sickening man damn

[SuperiorAmericanGuy]

The only method I have for bad kids is groundings and time outs due to physical fights and verbal arguments.

Pls make a video of 9 yrs and above. Nobody expect behaviour at the age of 3.
