Right Way To Deal With An Unapologetic Child

Pexels.com

Is your child unapologetic? Well, if he does, then you are in for some trouble. No parent will be happy if his child has this character and will be very worried too, but you shouldnt be too worried because since your child is still young, there is hope that you can help put him back on the right path.

I remember my niece also used to have that problem growing up where whenever she does something really bad and the parents get angry at her for that, she ignores them and does not regard their calls to come back and say sorry.

We all thought there was nothing that could be done about her situation and gave up hope on her but today, she is one of the most apologetic person in the family.

She now cares a lot and is very concern whenever she does something that hurts someone's feelings.

Here are some tips to help you deal with your unapologetic child getting him to change;

1. Talk to him;

My first advice to addressing this problem is talking to your unapologetic child. 

Seat your child down when you are calm and have a conversation with him. This is not the time to go angry shouting at your child and using some unpleasant words.

Have a parent to child conversation with him asking him why he is doing that; peharps it might be because something happened and was what led him into thinking having a cold heart is the only way forward.

When you are able to get the reasons for this behavior through talking, you can be able to address it well.

2. Explain the consequences;

Try and explain the consequencies of your child's action to him; let him understand that his actions hurts people's feeling and is very bad.

It could be that he never thought his actions hurt you and others too so laying out the consequences to him now will make him go and reflect on his life and change for the better.

3. Be a role model;

All this while, it could also be that your child is picking up this habit from you the parent and that is what is influencing him being unapologetic.

For this reason, if you have such a character, you must now be thinking of letting it go because your child is also walking in your foot step and you know, children learn from what they see people especially their parents do.

4. Set clear rules;

Being strict on children is not one thing i am a big fan of but at times, it does work in getting things done.

I will suggest you go for this option if youve exhaused the previous points ive made but you still arent seeing a positive result.

Let your child understand that he is your child and under care and must obey your rules whether he likes it or not and then lay down the rules for him.

He should understand that if he does anything wrong from henceforth, he must apologise or there will be severe consequences.

Conclusion

It might take a while to start seeing some positive improvements so dont give up on that little one of yours.

No one is born a parent, we all learn on the job so be easy on yourself and just do your best.

Thanks for reading.
