Do you have an impatient or demanding kid? here's how to respond

From narrating to them the emotions which we can understand to coaching them to articulate their feelings, here are a few ways to respond to demanding kids.  

Parenting can be tricky. While we want to ensure that we provide the best of everything to our children, it is also important to be strict at times when we need to teach values and skills to the children. Children can act up at times – when they show tantrums or behave impatiently, it can be due to a lot of underlying problems. Communicating with them in a language that they understand is important for effective parenting. Children sometimes have difficulties in explaining the emotions that they are feeling. That can be the reason for them being demanding or impatient. For a parent, it is important to understand what they are trying to communicate and the emotions that they are trying to communicate to us.
