Behaviour problems
Definition.
 A pattern of disruptive behavior
 Behavior,if at all a problem, is so due to some fault in
the environment- parents, teachers, siblings, restricted
environment: nothing wrong with the child as such.
 Try to find the underlying cause; do not react to the
Sulking
Sulking is Pouting/withdrawing/not interacting
with others, Ignoring instructions given by adults.
Is a silent form of tantrum, to get what the child
wants, to seek attention or to seek revenge.
Causes:
 Over controlled children sulk as they have never learnt
verbally to get what they want.
 Children of permissive parents sulk because it works.
 The child sulks when he does not wish to do the
activity given to him, either because he doesn’t like it
or because he doesn’t want to encounter failure.
 It may start after a period of emotional disturbance,
frustration or distress
 Ways of handling:
 Make the child understand that sulking is not appreciated.
 Make it a rule that when the child tries to get some by sulking or pouting, he
will definitely not get it
 Listen to what he has to say and empathize with his feelings.
 Use questioning
 Give choices.
 Do not interfere unless it becomes excessive.
 Do not highlight the problem.
 Provide interesting activities after disliked work.
 Reward when there is no sulking.
 Never make the child’s problem seem more important to you than to him.
 Don’t scold, threaten, punish or tease the sulker, Just let the child work his
problem out on his own.
You sulker! You can never
be happy!

I cannot understand what

you want unless you tell me.
