Parents ften say,“I dn't understand why my child is acting this way.We've given him everything in the wrld,and he just wants mre.He's never happy.He desn't enjy what he has.”
Fr sme reasn,we ften feel that if we give ur child everything he wants t keep him happy,he shuld behave the way we want him t.An imprtant part f meeting children's emtinal(情感的)needs is t set limits ften and firmly in a lveing way.Pardnts wh learn t set limits in a lving way set them mre ften because they dn't have t wait until they've “had it up t here” t d s.
A therapeutic(治疗的)way f setting limits is called ACT:Acknwledge the feeling,cmmunicate the limit,and target the chice.Necessarily,yu're saying t the child,“I understand hw yu feel.It's OK t feel that way,but yu can't act that way when yu feel like that.Yu can act this way when yu feel like that.” It's als imprtant t cmmunicate this message in a lving way,nt an angry way.
Using ACT limitsetting teaches children t cpe with their emtins and t find apprpriate behaviral expressins that dn't hurt the children themselves.It can als be used t teach children t delay gratificatin(满意).Here are sme examples f hw it wrks.If yur child wants a ty when yu're at the stre and yu dn't want t buy it,yu can say,(A)“Yu lve that ty and want it right nw,(C)but we're nt spending any mney n tys tday.(T)Yu can put it n yur wish list fr birthday r Christmas.”
Using this technique,yu'll learn t set reasnable limits that wrk.If yu set limits t severely,yu're als mre likely t give in,because yu feel guilty.If yu dn't fllw thrugh with a cnsequence r yu make ne that's t severe,yu teach yur child nt t trust yu.
