10 positive parenting tips for stubborn kids

Set ground rules early

While your love towards your child should be unconditional, there are certain ground rules you must set in order to raise well-behaved, disciplined kids.

Do not say ‘yes’ to everything

Say ‘yes’ to your child’s demands only when they are rational. Do not give in or agree to everything they have to say.

Don’t be a ‘NO’ parent too

As a parent, you must know how to strike a balance between ‘yes’ and ‘no’. If you always disgree with your child, they might develop a negative impression of you.

Pick your battles

Don’t start arguing with your child for every little thing. Pick your battles wisely and only indulge in issues that you think will help your child learn and grow.

Know your child’s triggers

It is important to know what irritates and triggers your child to become stubborn. Avoid touching those strings.

Punishment is not the answer

Know that punishment is never the right way to discipline. It will only make your child more aggressive.

Build your child’s communication skills

Rather than punishing your child to listen to you, build strong communication skills in them. Only then will you be able to understand their side of the story.

Provide choices

Don’t be a rigid parent. Offer your child choices when available.

Being calm can help

Avoid losing yourself during a conversation with your child. It will only weaken your arguments.

Set examples

Your child learns everything from you. If they’re stubborn, teach them to not be so headstrong. Set a good example.
