MOTHERS WATCH OUT CAUSE KIDS WILL ALWAYS BE KIDS

KIDS! They will always be unpredictable. They will never cease to surprise you. They will come up with things you never imagined or even dreamt of, let alone telling them what not to do.
Whether it is ripping out the tape from VHS carssette, pushing down mugs from the table, smearing mud on the walls, pushing toast into the video recorder, sticking fingers down a plug hole and not being able to help themseves out, turning their mums lipstick to crayons and doing their own God-knows art work on the sheets, washing their hands inside the toilet basin, smearing the content of their poo-filled nappy all over the place or experimenting with knives, matches and lots more, one thing is for sure, they will never cease to amaze you or come up with the unthinkable.
Are our children headed for a lifetime of terrorism? Or perhaps gunning for the Guinness Book of Records? Are our kids just deliberately being naughty? Or is he or she simply doing what comes naturally? Experts like paediatricians and psychologists allays your fears and worries, advising that, nothing that your kid come up with, should surprise you. Every childs behaviour flunctuates periodically and because every child are not born with the ability to differentiate right from wrong. The development of their moral concepts and values evolve gradually.
Consider the follwing three situations and you may well understand your little lord:
PUSHING BOUNDARIES: Pushing boundaries and being inquisitive is very normal and healthy. As parents if your child does not show this trait, then you should be concerned cause it usually has implications for their emotional development and their relationships later in life. Therefore kids who go extra miles are not necesarey 'naughty', instead they may be showing qualities of intelligence, assertiveness and determination. This group of kids are easily bored and view things in their own amazing dimensions and uses their intelligence and creativity to come up with alarming and breathtaking act of naughtiness that leaves you speechless.
PART OF GROWING UP: As the child develops they become excessively curious and disruptive. They manifest this behaviour as their own way of growing up and learning from what they see others do. In their inpatience they can cause havoc once you are slightly distracted. Their technological know-how is awesome. They could operate the handset or dismantle and assemble back a calculator.
COULD BE PSYCHOLOGICAL: Little kids when they are in pain, tired, hungry, thirsty or sleepy can quickly turn into a nightmare for you and unfortunately, since they can't express themselves, you could be left in a dilema, as to how your child has suddenly entered into the Twilight Zone. Here is what to do. Giving the right dose of pain medication or teething gel might quickly calm the child. If that fails, a healthy snack or drink should do the trick.

CONSIDER THIS ALSO
Your child adores your attention, they dislike to be ignored. Watch out for what catches their eyes and the wonders that their ten digits could do. They tend to be very busy little people. Need your close parental watchfulness because they are highly unpredictable, impulsive and little sense of danger. They show little or no respect for other peoples property, ornaments are broken, house are rearranged to their own taste. They tend to be stubboorn and having it their own way. They tend to be mindless to the mountain of mess they cause. They are compulsive climbers. They have an incredible ability to demoralise their caregivers, especially their mothers. They are extreemly sensitve to trauma, excitement and tension in their environment. Consider all this and you will see that even in their naughtiness, vulnerability and carefree attitude, you will just love them because as kids, they are interesting and precious people.
