Should children be scolded in front of guests or not? Understand

Many times it is seen that when a guest comes home and the child behaves uncontrollably like shouting, speaking rudely or being stubborn etc. due to which the parents feel embarrassed. In such a situation, instead of getting angry at the child, the best way is to correct his behavior with understanding and patience. Instead of scolding the child directly, parents should understand that there can be a reason behind every behavior of the child and attention should be paid to it.

Parents should talk to children about behavior for 10-15 minutes every day. Explain to them how they have to behave in front of others. Also include the habit of greeting with good morning in their behavior. So that when a guest comes, they can automatically greet them.

If guests are coming to your house, then prepare the children for this in advance. Explain to them that the whole family will welcome them, so the child's behavior also matters to them. Who is the guest coming and how should we behave in front of them.

Mostly children do not understand how to behave after seeing a guest. So understand the emotions of children and do not scold them. Make them feel that you are with them.

Involve children in the activities being done for the guests. Give them small tasks like bringing water for the guests, giving gifts etc.

Talk with children while doing small role plays like if grandmother has come then we have to ask her for tea or water.

To increase the confidence of children, appreciate their good behavior. Tell them that their behavior has made them feel good. Also make some rules that if they say any kind of things or behave in a wrong way then their play or TV time will be reduced.
