A. Hi, when you say adamant, you mean your child doesn’t listen to you and does what he wants. Right? Few things you can do- 1- don’t get into a power struggle with him 2- try not to argue with him but instruct in simple sentences what he is supposed to do. Repeat it if necessary in a calm voice 3- don’t give him a choice of not listening to you by introducing consequences for every bad behaviour 3- Remember it’s very important to teach tolerance to the kids 4- give consequences on bad behaviour- time out, withdrawal of privileges etc. 5- don’t overwhelm him by getting very emotional, talk to the point.

A. Patience is the key when we are dealing with kids. Ur child is too young. Children observe and understand more then we can imagine. U have to change urself first. For example if u want ur child to wake up early first u have to wake up earlier than her. U can teach Gayatri mantra to ur kid and start chanting with her in the morning and evening it really helps. U have to make a routine for ur child and follow it with her relegiously. It will not be easy thing to do but with adament kids routines work more than rules. Make ur bond strong with her by playing, eating and talking with her. She will start listening and follow u more happily.

A. 1.Try to play mild music at home, meditation, devotion, classical songs which will soothe them. 2. Never raise your voice to them, it might any question respond very softly. 3. Never show tvs, mobile, tabs stay away from all these. 4. Have breakfast lunch or any meals together. 5. If they are playing with other kids and if there is a mess, Bring your kid alone. Never encourage or argue to be in that situation. Distract and take them alone. 6. Give your kid daily gentle massage 7. Don't force on any particular thing if they are not interested. 8. Teach your kid breathing exercises or teach yoga. Start this from a young age. 9. Ask them to write diary, daily happenings around but never read it, give them their space. 10. Follow order at home, brushing, breakfast timings follow it everyday 11. Inappropriate or irritating behaviour sometimes it's better to bear and remain silent. Rather to be harsh on them which will still make it worse. 12.Help your child to correct errors and mistakes by showing or demonstrating what he should do rather than focusing on what he did wrong. 13. Never ever compare your kid to another. This will trigger more. 14. Give regards gifts frequently than punishments. 15. Give your kid good colorful and moral books to read.
