  • Why kids misbehave; four discoveries as to why

Yesterday we were introduced to Dr. Greg Cyaumon’s research into why kids misbehave and the four discoveries he and his team identified that surprised them. Today, we are going to look at how to identify your child’s DQ (Discipline Quotient) Factor type.

Four personality types emerged from Dr. Greg Cynaumon’s DQ study. The personality types are Bears, Monkeys, Porcupines, and Lambs. In order to identify your child’s species, look at the descriptions below. As you read the descriptions below reflect on how your child makes you feel when they misbehave.

  • Parents of Bears feel threatened, challenged, and angry.
  • Parents of Monkeys feel irritated, annoyed, and controlled.
  • Parents of Porcupines feel hurt, manipulated, minimized.
  • Parents of Lambs feel inadequate, pity, frustrated.

After you identify the personality type of your child, you will have insight into why your child misbehaves and strategies for handling their misbehavior.

Tomorrow we will look at the first personality type – the Bear and some strategies for handling the Bears misbehavior.

The above information was pulled from Dr. Greg Cynaumon’s book “Discover Your Child's DQ Factor: The Discipline Quotient System” and the magazine, Christian Parenting Today, Winter 2003 article “Why Kids Misbehave.”
