Raising a child is no piece of cake! The Good Book says: "Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.... Proverbs 22:6"
Easier said than done. You will have momentary breakdowns and hair raising situations, your temper would simply tear the roof top! Who is to be blamed for that? Would it be you or your child? This is a question all parents need to ask themselves before justifying the whole act of nurturing as a difficult errand.

They understand and act according to the situation in a better fashion and learn to adjust better.
● Positive reinforcement ● Eye contact ● inculcating optimism

When your child misbehaves, get down to their level and converse with direct eye contact. Do not grab them or pull them. This would make them more violent and adamant and paint a shabby picture of you as a parent. Stoop down and with a low yet stern voice and expression repeat "NO" a few times.

Even if it takes a while for your child to acknowledge the right behavior, you wait.

Children while growing up tend to bite or suddenly hit you and that's not because they are violent.. They are still very young and immature with limited skills of expression. As parents it becomes your responsibility to help your child understand the other ways of seeking attention or calling out or putting forward their demands.

    Many times, the reasons why they usually are hitting others and pulling others hair is out of frustration and not being able to express themselves they would they would like. Since we cannot hit a child because it is against the law and is bad for the child themselves we try to use other tactics to get the child to stop and apologize. One thing that we do is that we take that child’s hand and make sure that they are looking at us and have a semi angered face and tell them that what they did was wrong and show them that the other child is hurting, in the other child’s case they are usually crying. We tell them that they have to say sorry and then take their hand and tell them soft touches so that they understand that hitting isn’t ok and that if they do want to touch the other child they have to do it softly.…

    The method I would use to redirect a child that is constantly hitting other child will be; I will start of by talking to the child first and see if the child is available to solve the problem own its own, by not hitting anybody. So, he can learn how to solve problems on his own instead of always needing an adult. But, if nothing changes and if the aggression behavior continuous then I will offer the child choices, for example I give him a choose of being the first on to line up the door for a whole week since he enjoys being the first in line or that he could be the lunch helper for several days, since helping during meal times is one of the things he will do every day with no complains. Since, offering the child choices that he enjoys doing…
