Behaviour

[Bunbun]

My girl was like that from k2 to p2. She couldn’t bring herself to apologise.

She’s in p3 now. Gotten over the phase already. Even readily says sorry when she accidentally brushes against someone.

Mine in P4, still hasn’t. Everytime, I’ve to teach him to apologise.


Just this morning,…
Ds2: Mommy, Ds1 hide my fresh milk behind the milk powder can.
Ds1: No, I didn’t!
Ds2: Yes, he did!
Me: Seething. So, who’s lying? (*Thinking mode)
Ds1 & Ds2: Not me…it’s him!
Me: Ds1, did you put the milk can in front of the fresh milk?
Ds1: Smirking, … yes, I place the milk can infront of the fresh milk and not the other way around.
Me: (Seething inside) Don’t try to be a smart aleck! Now, go and apologise to your brother!
Ds1: Saying "sorry" but with no sincerity.

How to get him to understand what he did is wrong and apologise sincerely?

My boy used to be like that as well. You just have to explain to him patiently what he did is wrong. At that age (5-6 years old), I think they are still clueless. I tried to talk to him nicely \"Hey, that's not the right way! blah blah\".


I believe you did not give him a very fierce tone or a fierce look when you questioned him. Children only react when they sensed their parents are angry, hence we think it's normal when he react when are raise our temper. :skeptical:

hi.you try to more familiar with you child.Ask and share all the feelings about your child and behave like friends with child. That makes his mind cool.

Can anyone advice how can I help my 9yrs old son to manage his emotion and anger?? He often had snap-shots in school with his classmates as well as some of his Teachers…I realised that he does not have any close friends in his present class…
