5 Ways to stop bratty behavior before it's too late

Are your kids showing signs of becoming too spoiled? Here's how you can prevent that from happening...

#1 Don't ignore the signs

If you've been skeptical about whether or not you're raising a brat, you probably already are and have not fully come to terms with it yet.

Don't ignore your gut-feel or forget about the extreme tantrums your child has thrown.

#2 Do something about public tantrums

When your little one is making a scene at a public setting and strangers are noticing, you can't let him get away with it just to try to smooth things over.

If you're a parent of a toddler, it's best to start now – properly show him how to behave in public and explain that is wrong to yell at everyone to get what he wants. When you ignore your child's bad behavior, they quickly learn that not only do they not have to listen to you, but they also don't have to respect their surroundings – and others around them.

#3 Never let them speak to you that way

Never allow them to speak to you in a disrespectful manner. Get your eldest child to lead the example.

If your child is often punished for wrongful behavior from the beginning, it'll be less likely for him to transition into a bratty kid.

#4 Don't let them mistake bad behavior as a way to express themselves

Even if your child is angry, they need to learn that there is a right and a wrong way to handle those emotions.

When you're upset, you might want to yell or bite something really hard, but you've learned alternative ways of expression and you owe it to your child to socialize them accordingly.

#5 Teach them all about respecting others

The only way to really prevent your child from growing up to be extremely spoiled is to communicate with them respectfully.

Show them the right way to communicate with others in both private and public settings. Most of the time, children turn to throwing tantrums because of a lack of authority and comprehension since the start.

As parents, we need to ensure that they fully understand the concept of respect and are able to handle their intense emotions.
