No one can predict if their child is going to go down the path of crime and gangs however, it does happen. This is not an issue anymore for people in poverty or low economic or social status. It is happening everywhere and to anyone. Julie Romanowski discusses this very intense topic on the John Daly show (CKNW 980 News Talk Radio) about some warning signs parents should be aware of as well as tips on how to prevent violent behaviour in young children.
5 TIPS to help Parents prevent violent behaviour:
1.) Work on CONNECTION - create opportunities to be more in-sync with your child on a daily basis and in challenging times. Let them know you are there to support, love and guide them by verbalizing it, using your body language and presence.
2.) Exercise LEADERSHIP - as a parent, it's your role to guide, teach and lead children through life. By using respect and validation with a child in challenging times, this can help children understand you want to work through the problems together.
3.) Clear EXPECTATIONS - teach children what is expected of them in all routines and times of day. Create boundaries around behaviour, reactions and problem solving for a more positive outcome.
4.) CORRECT the behaviour - this seems so obvious but rarely happens. We assume kids know the parts of their behaviour that were right and wrong but by clarifying this for them in a calm and respectful manner, they will be able to fully understand and work with in those boundaries.
5.) VALIDATE their existence - does your face light up when you see your child? let them know they are heard, valued and good contributors to the family, community and in life. Give them a sense of belonging to the greater good.
