How children behave is a reflection of their parents. There is a Chinese saying: “Even the best jade needs to be cut and sculptured so as to become a valuable treasure.”

Some parents do not have the tolerance to endure their children’s misbehaving or are too busy to properly disciple them. Parents are the main teachers that children learn from, so when your child is naughty, it’s best to look within at yourself to see if you are teaching them the right way. When you do, you will have a positive result.
