Tackling challenging behavior in children can be very stressful in today's society. But teaching children manners does not need a skill or a specialist. Different parenting styles are usually the main drivers to upbringing and shaping the child's behavior. Even a simple thing like establishing a family routine can be very difficult these days. Why? Because every individual of today has demanding sometimes conflicting needs to that of their families. Some parents have to work to support the family. There’s very little quality time that’s dedicated to family needs. Families eat dinner in front of television with plates on their laps, there's hardly anytime to sit and enjoy a meal around a table. No wonder then children tend to develop poor social skills at an early age.
Children hardly get opportunity to socialise and learn proper social skills. ''Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder''. Do our children represent the good in us? It is true that children's behavior is a representation of the family's structure and its characteristics. Spending a large fraction of time in front of television diminishes the child's ability to develop all social skills e.g. speech. Often these children struggle to express themselves and sometimes get to trouble with other children because they can't form basic simple relationships with their peers.
The bottom line is children need a consistent routine and structure to learn good social skills and manners.
