(1) Most parents at some stage are drivon lo distraction by one or more of their children's annoying
habits or behaviours, whether it is a toddler who continually whines, a school-aged child who
leaves clothes lying around or a teenager who uses n less than pleasant vocabulary
How to affect change is a challenge for many parents. Do you ignoro a child's annoying
or do you pick up on it? A useful rule of thumb is to pick up on behaviours that are

expect an eight-year-old not to disturb you while you are on the phone for twenty minutes but it
is not reasonable to expect the same of a two-year-old. It is also useful to take into account the

The most important principle about changing children's behaviour is to change your own behaviour
first. So, if your child whines to get his own way refrain from answering back or giving in.

happening for a long time. Spotlight the appropriate behaviour. When your children behave in
the desired way show your sincere appreciation. We often take children for granted or rather we
