I also wrote a tutorial on Children’s Mental Health and Emotional Well being in Primary Schools that you can read.

Passive rebellion

  • It usually occurs when the baby is punished for the open rebellion behavior by the parents or elders.

Spoiling

  • Child with self-centeredness who wants everything and not willing to give anything in return.
  • Parents should not give too much attention by pampering them and giving whatever they ask as it may spoil them.
  • Usually firstborn, last born, and one child are having more chances of spoiling.
  • Parents should show attention to what the child requires to enhance their average growth and development. 

For better result, you should also read the following article:

Jealousy

  • Usually, jealousy among children is observed when one more baby arrives in the family; the elder child will feel that the newborn is giving more attention and feeling envy.
  • Children with jealousy always will exhibit angry.
  • They will feel that another person has taken their place in someone’s affection.

To prevent jealousy behavior among toddlers, the parents should meet the toddler’s need to show their attention and love, allow them to stay around when the new baby’s physical needs are being taken care of, and encourage them to take care of their siblings.

Selfishness

    • Development of a sense of ownership is necessary before they can learn to be generous with others. 
    • Slowly, they learn to be generous with others. Children should be allowed to decide whether to give or refuse their toys to another child.
    • Adults can help child, learn to share with others.
    • Group play encourages the habit of sharing.

Hurting others

If the hurting is accidental, the incident should be overlooked. But if the children persistently try to hurt others, adult help is needed to prevent serious injury to another child.

  • Adults should not allow their children to hurt others. Hurting maybe with mental state.
  • Children should know that someone who loves them deeply will control them and prevent their behavior’s unpleasant consequences.
