Re: ~~Promoting Positive Behaviour in young children~~
I’ll give a recent example.
At my daughter’s parent teacher meeting a few weeks ago, I was told that my 6 year old has some great leadership skills but sometimes she uses them at the wrong time and the wrong place. She likes to be in charge and takes a lead on any class project. She wants everyone to hear her and doesn’t like to be second. In fact she sometimes even wants to direct the teacher 
.
So hubby and I sat her down and explained that she cannot lead until she first learns to follow. We explained the concept of competition and sharing. We told her how she needs to be a good listener and gave her examples of when we were kids. I told her exactly how she felt, because I felt the same way too…but I found out that it was better if she listened and waited her turn because then she will be happy and everyone would be happy as well. She was a bit frazzled and upset but a few weeks later I am told that she has improved.
