Teach Children Emotional Control Tips & Avoid Fights

Teach Children Emotional Control Tips & Avoid Fights

In an ideal world, we all will get along with each other, all the time. But the world is not ideal and conflicts always occur. There's always a fight between siblings, friends, relatives, parents, children, even strangers though. Rather than assume that the conflict was not the case, try using it to teach children how to control his emotions when it comes the desire to fight. Even if the fight was finally happening, teach the child what his lessons learned from them.

Here are some ways you can do, as quoted from She Knows:

1. Understand the Power of Emotions

Help children to be responsible for emotion. Make the child understand that emotions can be very complex and unpredictable, and certainly no excuse for behaving badly. Teach children to channel emotions properly in poor time indeed. See your own experience! So there's no harm in starting early.

2. Give Example

The children will learn from the things what you do not do her parents. If children see you involved in the conflict but could not help myself, they will learn from the experience. Vice versa, if you see your child engage in destructive behavior in the conflict, they will learn from the experience too.

3. Role Playing

Differences of opinion with family or friends is almost inevitable in everyday life. Therefore, you can ask him to play a role to see the response when faced with a conflict. You can tell him a problem and see what it does. Then suggest how to deal with conflict.

4. Train Not Participate Mix

When conflicts arise between your children, it is natural that you want to intervene, to stop fighting and find the best way out. But think again, if you always intervene, when the children can learn to solve their own conflicts. So you occasionally try to give them a chance to handle conflict without the intervention of his parents. Do negotiation and compromise and stop a person who always tries to solve all problems.

5. Empathy

Empathy may be one of the topics that are difficult to teach your children. You have to remind children (and yourself) that in every conflict there are always others who hurt. So try as much as possible so that children are not always involved in a conflict.
