You can teach your child what type of behaviour is acceptable and what type is not acceptable in an empathetic, loving and respectful manner that will strengthens the connection between parent and child. You can start by explaining to your child, using examples. Most children will want to test limits and boundaries which are quite normal. If need be, you can implement consequences or other forms of discipline to manage behaviour. Feel free to email [email protected] if you have more questions.
