------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

Children, at their early age, develop habits; unfortunately, some of which are 
awful. Bad habits are defined as some things that are annoying, embarrassing or 
bad to their wellbeing. They include, but are not limited, to nail biting, 
lying, hitting, hair twirling, thumb sucking, and others.  Because it is not 
easy to break bad habits because, as it is, they are already habits, parents 
must make sure that effective ways should be done at the earliest time 
possible. At the first sign or at the first notice of bad habits, try to make 
plans on how to put a stop to them. There are secrets to break the children's 
bad habits and they are about to be revealed now. 

Talk to your child heart to heart
Do not get angry or do not become annoyed. Your child has the capacity to 
understand what you, as a parent, are trying to say. Explain to him that what 
he is doing are already bad habits, which people will not like to see in him. 
Because children like the attention and care of other people, your kid will not 
want this to happen; hence, he will try his best to change.

Make your decision or your plan solid
If you decide to break the bad habits of your kid, be consistent and focused. 
Try to do everything not to break your own plan. For instance, every time you 
see your child does it, give him an 'understandable' warning; do not give him 
an awful look.  

Reward him for every day that he did not do his bad habit(s)
Tell your child that each day that he will become successful in avoiding his 
bad habit(s), such as saying bad words or hitting other child, you will reward 
him with a gift.

Tell him that you care and that it pains you to see him do his bad habit
Tell him 'Mommy, will cry' if he will try to do his bad habit again. Tell him 
that you do not like what he is doing; hence, the crying.  Loving as they are, 
children tend to stop what they are doing when they are warned that somebody 
will cry, what more if it is their mom?

Teach him some other things to do
Sometimes, kids do bad stuffs because they think those are the only things that 
they can do. But, if you try to teach them some things to replace what they are 
already doing, they will develop focus on these things and will definitely 
forget about their bad habits (though not as fast as it may seem) and may 
develop a new habit in what you teach, such as drawing.

Some things that are bad do not stay as they are once they are prevented at the 
first sign. Like children's bad habits, once parents do things to stop them 
during the early age of their kids, they are likely to be broken. Communication 
and focus are the major factors to successfully do this.
