Firstly, remember you can't change bad child but you can change bad behavior. The only reason the behavior is bad is because they are exploring the world and learning where the boundaries are. They have to make mistakes in order to find out what's what. It is only natural and quite normal .

The same goes for any other behavior that is out of the ordinary. There are no clumsy children, only clumsy behavior. There are no stupid children, only stupid conduct. They are no spiteful children, only spiteful acts. There are no selfish children, only selfish actions.
They don't Know any better and it is your job as a parent to teach them, educate them, help them, encourage them. You start off on the wrong food if you start off believing they are bad.

Listen, you're almost bound to fail if you believe then to be faulty. You can't change a bad behavior. If you believe the child is good, you're on to a winner immediately. All you've got to do is change the behavior and that is an attainable goal.

It is awfully detrimental to say to a child, 'You are a bad child'. It sets something up in their mind that is hard to shift. Better to say, 'You've done a naughty thing' , or ' You've been naughty' . This they can do something about. But if you tell them they are bad, there is nothing they can do about that and it affects them forever...

The role and the influence of a mother on children is extremely strong. They start to nurture their children from childhood .the earlier, the best. Children atimes are adamant, we must look over them not to misbehave
