While a baby begins his life with walk and crawl, he feels curious about each and every thing. During that period parents often say no for things they find appropriate. The habit of ‘No’ develops from here. Once your child grows old and still keeps saying no every now and then, that’s a cause of worry. Parents need to change this habit of his quickly. Don’t take this habit jokingly because this is turning out to be a dangerous habit. The behavioural change process should start from there. Parents should better nip this habit in the bud.

Children have this habit of touching the boundaries before final withdrawal. Discipline is quite important so that your child grow up to be a responsible adult. Parents should also be consistent in their behaviour. They should maintain a stand and stick to it.

 Through vaccinations we have been able to prevent a number of diseases. There are certain vaccines that are to be given at birth, namely BCG, oral polio vaccine and hepatitis B. Then at sixth, tenth and fourteenth week, DPT with polio vaccine & hepatitis B need to be given. At the age of nine months, a child should be given a dosage of measles vaccine. What vaccination does is that it injects a weakened microorganism that causes the ailment so that the immune system in our body is stimulated to fend off the weakened microorganism. The immune system also remembers to fight off the organism if it enters the body later.

 Vaccination is one of the most effective ways of preventing a disease. Vaccines have known to be ninety percent effective. Most of these vaccines are subsidized by the government and hence is the most economical way of preventing diseases.

A child’s mind is very open to different messages received by him from his surroundings. From their experience they learn to derive what and whom to trust and whom not to. Child’s mind needs to be very consistent if he has to retain his ability to process the messages on a consistent basis. That’ where parents role come in picture. If parents are consistent in their behaviour then child will be assured of understanding on a regular basis. It will also help in better bonding between child and parents. The more consistent parents are in their behaviour, more secure child feels. It has been observed that babies who have consistent parents experience less anxiety. They just know that they can rely on his parents.

Parents need to keep regular routines with their children. That way, they will have less chaos and even lesser arguments with the kid as and when he starts with important things of his life like school, sports, social interactions. Children will be less motivated to go against their parents and they will know what behaviour is expected of them. It also helps in proper establishment of cause and effects relationship. Lack of inconsistent behaviour can cause several problems.
