Patient's question:
The child is only two years old but is very mischievous. He often gets up at night to play and has a strong destructive tendency. I don't know if this will be good or bad for his life in the future, because habits from childhood can become temperaments when grown up. His current temperament is very stubborn and he has a quick temper.I really don't know how to teach him to have a better temperament.
Doctor's answer:
If as a parent you witness your child's mischievous behavior of teasing their peers, do not scold the child. Through some communication, help the child realize whether their actions are right or wrong, allowing them to recognize their own mistakes on their own. Guide the child to imagine what it feels like if they are the one being teased—whether they would feel happy or sad and hurt. Only by enabling the child to understand others' feelings can they recognize whether their own behavior is appropriate.
