Dealing with Bad Behavior

"What makes Children Misbehave" is chapter one in the e-book Parenting a Child With a Behavioral Problem: A Practical and Empathetic Guide  written by, Paquette, Penny Hutchins, Tuttle, and Cheryl Gerson in 1999. In chapter one the authors take a look at children from ages two to ten years old. They go through the those ages and they use examples that show that things such as arguing back, being mad, and just rebelling is apart of the growing process for a child. They also explain that even though children go through "developmental stages" they also express certain behaviors for "attention and to get power". I believe that this is going to be a great e-book chapter to use for my final paper because of the fact that it shows what the normal behavior should be a various ages compared to what the extremes could be. I really agree that all children tend to so similar things at certain ages and with time they usually grown out of it.

Everything You Need to Know About Childhood Disobedience

"Child Disobedience and Noncompliance: A Review", is a journal article written by Larry M. Kalb and Rolf Loeber in March of 2003 in Pediatrics. In this article Kalb and Loeber have compiled research from various sources to show the differences between the behavior of children according to age. They outline in this article the various problems that parents are having with there children, at what age, and also how wide spread this problem is. They also go into different types of "parental discipline" techniques that can be used and show those techniques that parents tend to use most often. This article not only explains what parents can do to keep their child from being noncompliant but it also shows results of how "parent interaction"can actually help children which is backed by studies that have been done. I picked this Journal article because it has a lot of information compiled together from various sources that I can go back and take a look at individually instead of having to keep searching over and over for articles. I like that the information given in this journal article not only brings the problem of childhood disobedience to the forefront but it also gives different solutions to the problem. Kalb and Loeber have put together a well organized article that can help in various parts of my fourth essay.
