Top 10 stubborn cases in preschool children and the best way to handle them

Situation: During the corner activity, you guys entered the game, but there was a child who didn’t play in the corner at all, if you were the teacher of that class, how would you handle it?

Treatment:

• If the topic of play is not suitable for the children’s needs and ideas, the teacher should talk with the children to grasp the children’s play ideas, thereby knowing how to prepare utensils and toys for children to participate in. play.
• Because children lack playing skills, you should talk and play with children, timely praise and encourage children to create excitement for children.

Situation: At home, this situation is more common because children know that their parents always love and will surely comply with their wishes. The best way for parents to overcome their child’s stubbornness is to ignore the child, pretending not to see the child cry. Parents should understand that, if the child cries and the parents care immediately, follow the child’s will to stop the crying, the child will know the parent’s weakness and continue to follow.

Treatment:

• The parent’s ignoring of the child serves as a reminder to the child that the child’s solution of nagging and crying has not been successful and the parent will not respond to the child’s request. After seeing that the baby stops crying, parents should ask about the child’s problems and what parents can do to help the child.

Treatment:

• Option 1: Instead of yelling, glaring or using spanking to intimidate the child, give her a limited choice: “Do you want to play the role of a turtle or a rabbit?”, “Do you want milk or orange juice? ”, “Do you want to play with friends or do you want to play alone?”… Solution 2 is good enough for this stage. This can avoid the “no” in stubborn children.
  Method 2: Sometimes, teachers should also use the solution of counting from 1 to 10 for children who are hesitant: “I will count to 10 and then I choose, or I will choose for you”. Your child will be ready to decide when you start counting. However, this form should be a last resort, after giving an alternative solution because this method is easily invalidated when you use it too many times and will certainly no longer work for stubborn children at school. next times.

Situation: Not following the teacher’s request is also a type of stubbornness in preschool age. Children just want to follow their own whims and make their own decisions.

• If the child still says no and continues to sit and draw the car, let her draw it because that will also achieve the purpose of the drawing lesson. above.
• At the end of the class, when commenting on the class’s drawings, please take some time to comment on Hung’s drawings and gently remind him to perform the class’s tasks like his classmates.
