How to punish a nervous child and modify his behavior

Modifying the child's nervous behavior:

Instead of stumbling over how to face your child's anger and emotions every time, you can modify his unwanted behavior by:

• Be a good role model for your child in dealing with feelings of anger: You cannot ask your child to keep calm and not act emotionally when angry, while he sees you doing so, as the child imitates his parents in his actions.
• Teach your child to deal with anger in the right way, such as talking about what makes him angry instead of breaking his toys or hurting a friend.
• Discuss with your child how to deal with feelings of anger in a correct way, and help him in that.

Punishment of the nervous child:

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, one of the effective ways to deal with unwanted behavior in a child, such as nervousness, is to tell the child that there is firm punishment if he continues his unwanted behavior, such as depriving him of his favorite toy until the end of the day, because it is important to let your child know the consequences His nervousness, which will make him more careful next time. Especially if his anger is repeated because of details related to, for example, a type of food that he does not like, or if you are talking to one of your friends and he interrupts you or starts screaming for no reason.
