Learning to share and avoid anti-social behaviour is an important aspect of every child’s development, but like everything else, it can take time before he or she is ready and able to do so, though you can do a lot to help.

Although they share similar traits, all children are different. Some are more stubborn than others, some are more aggressive, while others are more likely to whine or more prone to tantrums. If you’re first able to recognise and accept your own child’s strengths and weaknesses, you won’t have unrealistic expectations as you start guiding them towards good behaviour.
