Anyone who has children will at some point need to take some advice about an aspect of raising their child. It can be very hard at times knowing what to do for the best in some situations and some people need parenting tips whether advice taken from friends and family or via informative articles.
The problems you encounter are age dependant. There are obviously a different set of problems that can crop up with a two year old, than you would have with a 12 year old. But in both these cases a hefty dose of patience and a calm exterior can go a long way in helping to resolve issues and clashes.
When it comes to a child being clingy with its parent in a social situation you need to handle the situation carefully as your methods may cause the child to become much more anxious.
leaving them and not saying goodbye is likely to make their separation worse. They will cling more if you do this as they know that as soon as they leave you, you will go and not say bye. So they will not leave you. Always tell them where you are going and when you will be coming back to get them. Arrange a special treat for when you come back to them.
If not they will think that every time you leave their side, you will go and not come back. If handling an older child who is misbehaving, you could try a time out scenario where you place them safely on the stairs for them to think about what they have done wrong and how they could have handled it better.
It is better to try to rationally talk to your child about their behaviour or address what they want calmly. Shouting and stronger punishments will not help anyone and may even make your child feel scared and intimidated if you do this. Upon saying this you may find that as they get towards their teenage years they will argue with you about pretty much anything, all based on raging hormones!
Other problems that occur with older children are them wanting to do things that they say their friends are allowed to do that you are not happy with. Such as your 12 year old asking to go into town at the weekend with their friends.
outright refusal of letting do things with their friends will result in some very unpleasant arguments, so try compromising. Suggest things such as offering lifts to places rather than walking, so they get they there safely and are still allowed to see their friends. They will not miss out and you get some peace of mind.
children as young as four or five want to assert their Independence by saying they want to do things without you and may ask you to leave once you have dropped them at a party or friends house! Whilst this is clearly too young for them to have a lot of Independence, letting them develop Independence is a crucial part of growing up. Let them do things for themselves, such as making their bed or clearing the dinner table will help them.
