Understanding Children's Behavior and the Impact of Stress
Children often exhibit impulsive behavior not out of defiance, but as a response to stress and emotions. Parents should view these actions as calls for help rather than intentional disobedience. By recognizing that children may be overwhelmed or in a state of hyper-arousal, parents can approach discipline with empathy and assistance rather than repeated verbal instructions that can increase stress levels. Providing physical guidance and preemptively setting up a supportive environment can help children regulate their behavior and reduce instances of impulsive actions.
