Does your child often excuse himself with reasons of not feeling well to escape from going to school? Or act quite sick when he is not given the object of his desire? Is he not feeling well because he wants to stick to you? If you nod your head in yes for all them then you must get alert as these little habits developed in the childhood can create big problems in the growing years of the child. The innocent cuchy talk of the kids are very adoring, but when these talks shapes into excuses from escaping from school or other activities, it could be quite a problem for the parents.

Most of the kids feel secured when they are with their parents. As they grow up they overcome the fear of not being with parents. But with some kids the insecurity feeling stays with them forever which could harm the emotional being of the child. Please don’t ignore if your child is reasoning things to get things done his way or throwing attention.

NOT WELL EXCUSE
The stomach aches, the headaches or other not well excuses for not going to school are very common. Don’t encourage them by giving up to child’s wishes. This can make your child’s attitude very carefree for work in future. Instead find out reasons on why he/she is not interested in going to school. Visit the school; meet the teachers and his friends. Check their homework regularly. If the parents are both working then the child is trying to make you stay at home and spend time with him. Spend quality time with your child and make him/her feel that he/she is the important part of your life. Make them value time and also tell them how important studies and hard work has been in your life.

CRYING SYNDROME
Children mostly cry a lot when they don’t get what they ask for like games, toys etc. Don’t always fulfill your child’s demands just because the child is crying or he/she has stopped her breadth or is banging his head against the wall or etc. as these are just the plan for the child to make you give in for their demands. It does not mean you deprive them of the games. Gift them occasionally or have an appraisal system like coming first in class etc. Once they know that they are not getting attention from their plan, they will give up.

EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL
Kids are very smart. Once they know that what works to make you dance to their tunes. They will emotionally blackmail you to get their demands fulfilled. Make sure you are not the victim of emotional blackmailing.

Seeing your child in pain will make their parents uneasy. But if your child is sick, he needs medical aid and not toys or other objects of desire. They can use these excuse forever kinds and can actually get emotionally unhealthy. Don’t get carried away with the emotional blackmail as you will be damaging your child’s health for a temporary relief from the tantrum your child might throw.
