Quiz Break

The best of iVillage's quizzes and tools to help you love the life you lead.

 
Are you helping or hurting your child's behaviour?
Whether they’re angels or devils, your children are probably behaving as they do because of the climate you’ve created. So before you issue your next reward or punishment, take this quick quiz and find out exactly what you’ve got to answer for…

1. When your kids do something wrong, how do they react?
  They admit it and then they duck
  They find someone to pin it on
  They try to explain how it happened or why, then make amends
 
2. If during rough play your children break something, they:
  Sweep it up and come to you to confess
  Report it to your husband, who’s quite easy-going about such things
  Take immediate evasive action
 
3. If your child whines and screams for treats every time you take him with you to the supermarket, you:
  Buy the treats the minute you get to the store to head off a tantrum
  Give him a copy of the shopping list to help you, and then buy him treats only if he behaves
  Leave him with someone on shopping days, just until he’s older
 
4. If your two oldest are calling each other names, you:
  Occasionally send them to their respective rooms without explanation, but other times just try to ignore the behaviour
  Immediately send them to their respective rooms without any explanation
  Explain that name-calling is not acceptable behaviour and offer alternative ways to settle their differences
 
5. If your pre-schooler needs to hear instructions two or three times before she acts on them, you say:
  ‘I was hoping you would be finished – you’re usually so good at helping me out.’
  Nothing – by that point, I am usually so frustrated that I do the task myself
  ‘What do you have between your ears, potatoes?’
