Difficult behavior manifests itself in a variety of ways, from disobedience to crime in adolescence.
The most important thing in this definition is the repetition of behavior and harm to the child himself. Difficult behavior prevents a teenager from interacting with other people, learning, and developing skills. The child himself suffers greatly from such reactions, so it is important not to call children “difficult” or “difficult to educate.” The Shalash Foundation uses the phrase “children who find it difficult” because a child cannot cope with difficult behavior on his own, and it is the responsibility of an adult to help him figure it out.
Often challenging behavior is a reaction to stress, problems, and a way to protect ourselves. Difficult behavior can arise for a variety of reasons, but in general, the reasons can be grouped into five broad points.
The family influences the child’s behavior through its own characteristics and parenting practices. Physical and psychological abuse, the cult of power in the family (often male), constant conflicts in the family lead to a lack of trust and affection in the child. He may suffer from low self-esteem and low life satisfaction (WHO).
At the same time, no matter how parents instill healthy communication habits in their child (no hitting, insulting, shouting), first of all, he will copy the behavior of family members (Singh, 2011). It is important for adults to coordinately tell and show what is right and what is wrong. For example, if one parent crosses the road in the wrong place with a child, and the other strictly crosses the crossing, then the child will not develop a clear understanding of how to act in such situations, no matter how many conversations are held with him.
