1. Dealing With Preschooler’s Emotions
Understanding preschoolers is indeed a very challenging task. They come with their
own set of mood swings. Sometimes they are friendly and easy to get along with, and
sometimes they spell trouble. They love using their physical force if they don’t get the
things they want. You will see them pull, tug, hit, push, or even kick, if it works. Child
behaviour problems can crop up from issues that parents may perhaps consider
insignificant, and overlook them. It is extremely imperative for you to differentiate
between naughty, playful children to those facing behavioural issues. Therefore, before
they become serious psychological disorders make sure you sort out things. Let us
know some of the common preschooler’s emotions and problems. Read on.
Violence:
Handling preschooler’s emotions
requires the parents to be extremely
patient and calm. Violence is an intense
form of aggression and can have critical
impacts. This aggression need
essentially result from anger, but it could
simply be a part of their personality.
Reasons could vary from being bullied to
being a victim of abuse. Besides, children of today are constantly being exposed to
violence in the form of video games, movies, TV, or even music. This could lead to
fighting with family and friends, frightening others, challenging to hurt themselves, etc. If
it gets really nasty, a family therapist could help your little one as well as you to get over
the hurt and offence.
Disregard:
As children grow up they begin to be disrespectful towards their parents and elders.
One of the most common traits is to back answer. They boss around, and don’t show
any form of respect for whatsoever reason. They are extremely rude, and thus, fail to

leave them alone, or if it helps, encourage them to express their feelings. It will help
them lighten up and love you for showing concern.
Lying:
Most kids resort to lying at one point or the other for various reasons. Each and every
parent faces it. It is prevalent in preschoolers, teenagers, and even as adults. They
believe that it will get them out of troubles and problems. It is not necessarily to
manipulate the truth. Handling preschooler’s emotions requires you to be strict, but
not to the extent that the kids start to hide more stuff than be open about it. They may
tell a half-truth, or purposely miss out on considerable portions of the truth as per their
convenience. Thus, if you don’t pay much attention to the lies, your child will do it
repeatedly and start to take you for granted. Don’t let that happen!
