Understanding Children's Behavior

Recognizing that children will act according to their developmental stage is crucial for effective parenting. Parents often forget that children learn through mistakes and immature behavior, which is a natural part of their growth. It's essential for caregivers to be patient and supportive, guiding children in the right direction rather than expressing frustration at their actions. Acknowledging that the brain responsible for reason and impulse control is still maturing in children helps parents respond with understanding rather than criticism.
