There is no set guideline or rule to determine whether behavior problems children go through are just stages of learning or something more.
Positive encouragement is equally as important as child punishment if not more so.
This is also one reason why positive discipline should be implemented plus it works towards every ones benefit.
Sometimes it is not always easy for a parent to recognize if a child is behaving appropriate or not.
Every issue that presents itself is unique unto that child, the circumstances, and the behavior as a response.
Children are learning everything for the first time and it is our job to help them through the learning process as objectively as we can.
This can sometimes be hard to do objectively as every parent has individual hopes and expectations of their own.
I believe that everyone has different styles of behavior and that sometimes parents are bias as to what kind of behavior they expect of their child.
This does not indicate a reason for child punishment and behavioral problems children display are not always what some parents make them out to be.
We as parents, and as people are flawed by our very own nature.
Everyone agrees with this principle and we must recognize that our own tastes and preferences can sway our judgment of our children's behavior.
Not everything can be registered in simple right and wrong terms.
People are not that linear in nature.
Human beings require depth and understanding, especially when it comes to parenting and child hood.
We are all involved in a great learning process that never ends.
This is a very common problem.
A parents reaction to certain behavioral problems children exhibit can be unnecessary and unjustified.
It can only serve a purpose as more classified as a matter of opinion.
By not fully identifying with the nature of the specific behavior, parents might feel it is not right simply because they do not like it.
There only motive is to change them and make them go away simply because they do not like them.
This is wrong in so many ways that it is child punishment enough, in and of itself.
It is very much like an actress pushing her shy child into public performance.
Or a sports loving father shoving his book smart son on to the playing field.
How would we feel if someone told us our style is wrong.
This is exactly what happens when parents apply their own expectations and standards of behavior to their child regardless of the situation or characteristic of the child.
It is unfair to place these kinds of standards of behavior on the child's character.
Certainly, no punishment should be distributed in any case of character indifference.
For a child punishment is something to attribute to misbehavior and is meant to guide them.
It is something that comes as consequence when you make bad choices and act on them.
An example of behavioral problems children exhibit that are of serious importance are more specific in nature and cause.
For instance trouble focusing for a length of time or processing thoughts clearly, not that they chose the color orange instead of blue.
It will be something that they have no control over that will clarify the difference between true misbehavior or unrealistic expectations.
Maybe the behavior problems children act out are not problems at all.
At least not from the child perspective or standpoint.
Some things are often, easily misinterpreted and no one is to blame.
We need to be a little more patient and lot more understanding when trying to parent positive, confident children.
This will help go a long way between connecting with your children and building trust.
Always try to keep these things in mind when judging a child behavior or considering child punishment.
Whether or not, the behavioral problems children react with, are considered as being good or bad, they can always be identified as natural first.
Always use positive child punishment where ever possible.
Something progressive and productive so that the child benefits from the punishment unknowingly.
Practice encouragement when good behavior is demonstrated as well.
