You've decided your child is spoiled（宠坏的），and you want to do something about it. Is it too late? Not necessarily. Here are four tips from an expert for getting your child to behave well.
You've spoiled your child by giving him or her too much for too little. You can correct this by helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and understand that not all good behavior is rewarded. For example, at first, insist that your daughter put a few toys away before she gets a snack, and gradually increase the amount of work required for each reward.
Don't overreact to crying. When children don't get what they want, their natural behavior is to cry. If you react every time your child cries, you may be denying（拒绝给予） him or her an important chance to learn something.
Prepare for a fight. At the beginning, children's demands will increase when they find out parents are not going to give them the new toys they want. When it happens, be careful not to give in just because the child shouts.
Stick to the program. That' s not necessarily a bad thing. It means the requirements are getting stricter and that your child is accepting changes. Remember： Give it time, and don't give up.
A. Make changes slowly.
B. Cut down on rewards.
C. Try your best to comfort the child.
D. Rather, wait until the child calms down.
E. Your child will probably be upset when you begin making changes.
F. There is little doubt that things will get worse before they get better.
G.As a parent, you need to know when to comfort a child and when to simply walk away.
