RAISING A BRAT? TIME FOR A RESET!

Get your pencil out… If you tick“yes” on more than half of the statements and questions below, you might be spoiling your child rotten. If so, we’ve got a plan to turn things around. In. One. Month.

YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIOUR

• My child is self-centred and shows little empathy.

• My child does not respect boundaries or authority.

• My child does not take responsibility for his decisions.

• My child is critical of others. • My child blames others when he is unhappy and feels that life is unfair if things don’t go his way.

• My child likes to feel superior. • He doesn’t share easily. • He expects to be praised all the time. • My child expects to receive all the time, but isn’t keen on giving.

• My child gives up easily.

YOUR BEHAVIOUR

• Do you usually give in if your child nags

for long enough in the shops for a sweet or toy?

• Do you feel guilty for not spending enough time with your child?

• Does it feel as if everything you expect from your child has to be tied to a reward?

• Do you like buying your child the best and latest toys?

• Do you intervene and take over whenever you notice your child battling with something?

• Do you try and avoid tears and unhappiness at all costs?

• Have family or friends ever mentioned that your child is naughty or has bad manners?

• Do you and your partner have very different ideas about discipline?

• Do you believe that one day his teachers will teach him manners?
