Looking for strategies to manage your child's misbehavior? Look no further! Here are a few ideas to help you deal with your 4-year-old's mischief: Relationship with your child, Setting limits, Creating a positive role model, and Rewarding good behavior. Below are some of most common mistakes you can expect to see in your child's behavior. These guidelines will help you to raise your child four years old with no problems.
Relationship with your child
There are many methods to establish a close relationship with your four year old child. Be present. This is an important step to building a strong relationship with your child. This is a way to show your child that your love and respect them by paying attention. It takes time to build a strong relationship. Every day, devote some time to being present with your child.
Limits
Parenting a four-year old child is not easy. Before you can establish limits, you must make sure that your child fully understands what it means to be a parent. Parents worry that setting limits might stifle their child’s natural curiosity. But it is vital that you give your child the freedom to explore and learn. Likewise, you will need to adapt to the new stages of child development as your child matures.
Positive role models
It can be difficult for parents to know how best to model positive behavior in their four-year old. Children learn from their parents. If you are healthy and active, your child will likely follow your example and have similar positive habits. Even if it's not possible to be perfect, seek out role models from your community and include their lifestyle in your child’s life.
Rewarding good behavior
Your child will be more motivated if you reward them for good behavior. You should choose a reward system that is developmentalally appropriate and easily achievable for your child. Motivating your child with praise, stickers, treats, or other rewards can help. It is the best way for bad behavior to be stopped before it starts. Whether you choose stickers, a family bike ride, or a trip to the water park, make sure that your reward system is clear, consistent, and achievable.
Negative behaviors should be avoided
To raise responsible children, it is important to not use negative consequences. A negative consequence can be unfair for your child. It is important that you give the same consequences to all your children for their actions. This will avoid problems. You don't want your child to be upset if you give them different consequences. Use consistent consequences to show your child that certain actions will result in a specific outcome.

Is gentle parenting good?
It all depends on what you mean when you say "good." If you mean how children are treated then yes. However, if you're asking whether it's good for them, I'd have to say no. They need discipline and firmness at times. They'll never be able to properly behave otherwise.
Children need rules and limits. Without these, they will never know what's acceptable behavior and what's not. They will not know how to respect others, and follow their instructions.
