How does setting up a bedtime routine relate to changing sleeping behavior?

I am not sure if I understand what you are asking...but here goes:



A bedtime routine is just that, a routine. For a child, probably something along the lines of eat, clean up, use bathroom, brush teeth, read book, go to sleep.



If you change one of those, lets say not reading a book, then a child may not feel %26quot;fulfilled%26quot; so to speak, and may not want to go to sleep and stay up much later. If a child already has a hard time going to sleep, and doesn't read a book before bed, then adding the bedtime story could help the child go to sleep faster.



If that isn't what you were asking, sorry.How does setting up a bedtime routine relate to changing sleeping behavior?
I was never one for bed time routines until my son was about 1.5. He would wake up all the time before the routine. NOw that I follow a routine for not only bed time but also nap time life has got so much better! He is much less cranky during the day and wakes up much much less in the middle of the night. Wish I would have figured it out sooner.

How do I clean up after and change the behavior of a dog who is marking?

My 5-year-old beagle/basset has taken to marking two places in our house. We adopted him four months ago from the SPCA, he is neutered, housebroken, and is not otherwise agressive. There are no other pets in the house.



I thought this might be separation anxiety, but he just did it this morning while we were sitting in the living room!



What can I use to keep him off these spots? Our apartment has white carpet, and our dog's pee is very yellow. Is there anything that will work to clean the stains? I've tried white vinegar, and Resolve pet-stain remover, and neither worked.How do I clean up after and change the behavior of a dog who is marking?
you can try something like Nature's Miracle (protein based enzymatic cleaner) but you must soak the area thoroughly and you may need to re-apply. this will help eliminate the odor as well as the stain, so that the dog doesn't keep thinking it's ok to go there. is he just marking (i.e. just a little squirt?) or is he relieving himself completely? if he's really just marking, try to catch him and interrupt him before he starts. if he's relieving himself, you will need to start over with housetraining. if he's marking, try using NILIF (nothing in life is free) to establish your leadership role with him.

i have included links for all of these. best wishes. and thanks so much for adopting.How do I clean up after and change the behavior of a dog who is marking?
Go to a pet store and look for a cleaner that says 'enzyme' on the bottle, you have to use that or the smell will linger and the dog will keep peeing there, if it doesn't completely remove the stain you might need to get a professional to clean your carpet or rent one of those carpet cleaner machinesHow do I clean up after and change the behavior of a dog who is marking?
Try the %26quot;3 Minute%26quot; stuff or the %26quot;Get Serious%26quot; - both sold at Petsmart. Worked great for us. Put down some of those puppy-wee pads in the spots to help prevent stains. Keep your eyes on the little guy! He's still new to your home, if you see him *approaching* those areas he's marking, tell him NO! and re-route him immediately outside. Praise him when he marks outside - every time he marks outside.How do I clean up after and change the behavior of a dog who is marking?
everyone offered good suggestions for cleaning the mess.



Here's another thing you can do to help.. invest in some belly bands. When he does mark, it will not end up on your furniture or carpet. It will help keep the odors and mess away until you can get him trained to stop.



you can find belly bands on ebay, and thru Drs Fosters and smith. Many rescues sell them to make extra money for the rescue.



Is there any way you can block off the areas he wants to mark?How do I clean up after and change the behavior of a dog who is marking?
Just because he's housetrained doesn't mean he can exactly TELL you when he needs to potty. You have to anticipate that. Dogs need to be on a predictable pee schedule both for your own sanity and for their well being. For instance, do you leave the water bowl out where he can drink any time? Understand that YOU control what goes into your pet. Also, remember to take him out about 30 minutes after giving him food or water....that's when he'll need to go. It sounds like he's not as house trained as you thought. My male dog did the same thing when I first got him from a rescue group. It was because 1) he wasn't house trained, and 2) he was in a new place with new smells and nothing smelled like HIM so he wanted to put his scent on things.....usually my clothes if they were laying in the floor!!! :) I understand your frustration! I bought 2 things at the pet store that saved me. 1 was spray that mimicks their own hormones that are in the urine....spray this where the dog IS allowed to pee. And I got puppy pads and put newspaper on top of them and then placed them by the door where he could get to it. Then I sprayed that stuff on top which told his sniffer %26quot;oh here's where I can go pee!%26quot; The next thing is to introduce it to him and then praise him like crazy when he successfully pees on the pad instead of on your carpet!! While this shouldn't be a permanent thing, at least then he'll have a CHOICE as to where to pee if he has to inside.....and it will save your carpets.

How do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?

please explain how and why so?



Thanks for your answers!How do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?
Mental hospitals exist to provide medications and therapy in a strictly controlled environment. The point of therapy is to recognize you problem behavior or thought process and take what steps you can take to change that behavior. Something called cognitive behavioral therapy is a hugely popular approach to therapy. It is all about finding out what is responsible for an unwanted behavior and learning how to change it.



With medications we can ideally get stable on our meds and hopefully get level headed enough to realize that we are better off if we keep taking the meds.



These are both examples of learned behaviors.How do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?
Hey,



I am going to start of by stating the reality that often they don't change their behaviour after being hospitalised. Some people have mental illnesses that can't be made better by a simple change in behaviour and those peoples who can often don't change after hospital anyway and it can very much depend on the hospital and the treatment and therapy that they offer. Many people who are hospitalised are not done so because they need therapy as this can be done outside of hospital as outpatient care, therefore many people who go into hospital are there simply to protect them from themselves in times of high emotions and danger and after a period of time has been spent in hospital when them emotions can be calmed down and perhaps released through talking etc then they are able to go home.



For some of course who do recieve good therapy from their stay in hospital may learn to pick up better coping techniques to help them help themselves and this can cause a change to occur. Some people who end up in hospital have perhaps never seen anyone for their mental ill health before being admitted to hospital and thus haven't had the chance to be told what to do to feel better, how to cope and also haven't had the chance to be removed from their situation and given some breathing space and this too can help.



A patients behaviour may only change if they learn something positive from their experience that they feel they can take with them and put to practice in everyday life.



best wishesHow do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?
Therapy, medication, lots of support from friends and family, and luck. Mental illnesses can be caused by biological factors and bad experiences. Retraining the brain how to react in situations is not easy and can take years. Whether you are a friend, family member, or person being released, learning as much as possible about the condition is important. Specifically, you'll want to know what to look for before a relapse occurs. If your concerned that relapse is on its way, this is something that needs to be shared with the person's therapist. If you are a close family member of someone being released, you may want to consider counseling for yourself. This provides an excellent way to vent frustrations and focus on helping the person close to you.How do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?
I was in a psyciatric hospital for 6 days for cutting and suicidal problems.

like its really a personal thing. you learn a lot about yourself while your there and its all about if you want to get better. you can totally lie and BS your way out of the hospital, but if you honestly want to get better, you will.



I made a list of triggers and coping skills and stuff and I've opened up to my parents (I'm 15...lol) about telling them if I need help or if I'm having urges.



I'm also seeing pschitrists (okay wow. bad spelling) and stuff.



I reccomend finding some activities that are just pleasant for you. When I was at the hospital, I took up painting and journaling (they gave us a journal to write in) and just write down whatever you are feeling.



but yeah. it is hard to not relapse and fall back into old habits. its all about if you want to be better :)



good luckkk!How do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?
Last time I was in (2 1/2 years ago), most of the days were spent in classes that taught us better ways of doing things. They encouraged us to make a %26quot;tool kit%26quot;, a little book with information like stress relievers and other ways to react to things and affirmations and things like that. I don't carry or use my tool kit anymore, but a lot of what they taught has stayed with me. You have to actually DO these things in order for them to do any good. It's hard to get used to, but the more you do it, the more it will become more natural feeling and habitual.How do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?

Yahoo Mail Beta: How to change the default behavior of "Show Images"?

Kind of irritating that I have to click on %26quot;Show Images%26quot; for every single email. How about a safe list that always show images or an ability to change the default behavior.Yahoo Mail Beta: How to change the default behavior of %26quot;Show Images%26quot;?
Go to your inbox and towards the upper right corner, click on Options, then Mail Options. On the left in that screen, click on Spam. Under Spam Guard:Show incoming images: check either the %26quot;Always, except in Spam folder%26quot; or %26quot;Only from my contacts and Certified senders%26quot; button and images will either always be shown or shown only in messages from addresses in your contacts. I have found that sometimes even when a message is from one of my contacts, I still have to click on %26quot;Show Images%26quot;, so your best bet might be the %26quot;Always%26quot; button. Hope this helps!

How can we effectively influence other people to change unwanted behaviors?

Serious patterns of behaviour rarely can be changed. Even if they do, it is not for a long time.



Only little things can change and the best way is when our own behaviour functions as an example to them. Little by little they can get influenced and start practising ways more close to the behaviours we have shown to them.How can we effectively influence other people to change unwanted behaviors?
you can't generalize like that: some people are more influencable than other, and those are divided into people you talk to and convince or people you need to show and lead by example.

It also depends on the behavior you are trying to change: some are easy others not.How can we effectively influence other people to change unwanted behaviors?
unwanted behaviors maybe due to some psychological factors. we couldn't say a persons behavior normal if it does not conform to a society, however normal to him. behavior is taught, it is carried with emotions, so therefore, it is necesary for us to go more deeply in the context of emotions, to touch their lives. they might be disturbed, depressed, which made their actions classified as unwanted. Therapy (includes family, society, professionals) often times tackles with the emotions. Try to reach out their inferiorities.. try to make them feel understand. and the best thing is equalize their feelings with love and proper care. Unwanted behaviors are the result of their unmet needs. They might feel fixated, and its not easy for them to cope with such disturbances, but anyhow, trust can help a lot. try to make them feel they are important and they exist. focus more on their achievements and limit yourself on hitting them.

    It doesn`t do anything by evicting them it just shifts the problem else where

    New tough prisons need to be built the tax payer wouln`t mind there tax going to something good

    Who cares? If they can't look after their kids, the kids will be put ionto care and the parents can fend for themselves - maybe this will make them take responsibility for their children, instead of foisting it onto others in the community.

    I am so sick of hearing %26quot;There's nothing for the kids to do, I can't watch over them 24 hours a day, etc etc%26quot;

    Well for their information, you should know where your kids are, who they are with, and take them to swimming pools, or just out to the country with a picnic - give them responsibilities in the home, with rewards and consequences if not carried out - in other words, put some time and effort into raising young people who are part of the community, not wreckers...How does evicting someone change their behaviour?

    It's just more of Brown's rhetoric since he has no more idea what to do about the present criminal behaviour that the man in the moon.How does evicting someone change their behaviour?
    It doesn't. The same threat came with the ASBO's adn Acceptable Behaviour Contracts, if the person doesn't adhere the family is supposed to be evicted. When this happens, the council then do not automatically have to rehouse, which they would in other circumstances, as it is deemed that they made themselves homeless. Of course this will not improve anyone's behaviour. In my experience what usually happens is the vicitms or neighbours who are suffering because of a 'problem' family are moved instead, as in many cases so many neighbours have to give evidence and are then victims of 'retribution'. And of course the problem family can then claim that their circumstances have been made worse by the Council, neighbours etc.



    Anyway, a shorter answer would be it is suppposed to be a deterrent, and make the parents be more responsible. Only usually in these cases the parents don't give a ****. So it will never work.How does evicting someone change their behaviour?
    good question......... i certainly think that trouble families should not be given social! housing and should definitely be given a three strikes and your evicted situation at the very least. i saw my street go from a lovely peace full street of friendly people, to a hell hole and a crime ridden dump inside of a year!! and all because of a few houses being given to social miss fits who would not! mix in and become part of the community. what do you do with these people?..........i would say stop them breeding might be a good start. and perhaps a pest control man who comes around and sprays some thing that solves the problem???.....sorry but i have very little time for the idiots. they make peoples life a misery and then expect sympathy and understanding. its a frigging joke!!How does evicting someone change their behaviour?

    9 week old sudden change in behavior.?

    My 9 week old was sleeping through most of night. She was hardly fussy except when needing something. She started daycare 5 days ago and almost immediately she will not sleep for more than 30 minutes, she screams for hours at a time. The daycare says she does not do this there. She actually stays awake from 6pm-2am now. What shall I do? suggestions on how to fix this? should I be scared, worried? PLEASE HELP!!9 week old sudden change in behavior.?
    I would ask the daycare if she is sleeping a lot when she is in their care... perhaps she has just mixed up her days and nights. My son did this and it took about a week of really long nights before we got him back on track again!



    Good Luck!9 week old sudden change in behavior.?
    It is probably just the change in environment. Babies are very sensitive to their surroundings. Eventually she will get used to it.9 week old sudden change in behavior.?
    It might be that daycare is allowing her to sleep too long during the day. So when she gets home to you she isn't sleepy anymore.9 week old sudden change in behavior.?
    give up work and look after her yourself, she is too young to be in daycare.9 week old sudden change in behavior.?
    I think it's the day care!

    Take her out of it for a week and see if there is any change to her going back to her old routine!

    I don't like daycare. I don't trust the ppl enough to take care of my child the way he should be taken care of. But that's just me. Plus I've had and also my sister have has really bad things happen to us in daycare that also why I do not trust them!!

    But many other parents do, which is fine. But I say maybe take her out 3days-a week and see if she goes back to her routine with you. Also I think a 9 week old is way to early to be without their mother!

    Hope things work out for you!

    Why do guys change their behavior?

    Do guys just get comfortable and start showing how they really are or am i doing something wrong. I asked another question, but started to think I am doing wrong and cant sleep over it. I am going to let him be to see how he acts. It just sux thought this one would work, but seems like every thing I say now is wrong and just ruining it. I got mad yesterday at him cause he wont come over cause he quit smoking and worried he will take it out on me or my new job I mean is that being thoughtful of is it a sign. I tried 2 do everything different this time dont call, dont text as much, and i read articles to make sure I dont screw up, but seems like I still did, He used to call and talk about everything and anything and now it seems what I say is stupid and wrong. I know he hates the phone, but still made an effort after last night we talked when i thought he wasnt into me; he told me i was assuming and it was he cant text all day at work and doesnt call cause he hates the phone, but he does talk on facebook to me. I really have a problem communcating cause in the past anythime i did i was crazy or whatever excuse they had 2 avoid it they said it. He does talk about ****, but I still feel something is wrong and dont understand why he went from mr perfect to like I have an std lol please give me some advice on how to act or what to say.Why do guys change their behavior?
    You are trying way too hard! I'm thinking that you also have changed your behavior..numerous times..and have him as confused as you are about him. Stop being so hard on yourself, start being yourself, and let the cards fall where they may. Anytime one person or the other is trying to be the %26quot;perfect%26quot; person instead of who they really are, they will fall short. It's a facade that nobody can keep up forever.



    Good luck to you! Forget about your doing something wrong. Just be true to yourself and let everything else happen as it may.

    Please don't hit your kitten, or any pet for that matter. It will only make it aggressive or not like you! The same goes for children. Every time you see your cat doing something you don't want her to do, TAP HER ON THE NOSE. A cat's most sensitive spot is their nose. Now this tap should be very light, it is not hitting. Just use your pointer finger and tap her nose like you would a key on a keyboard. She should be appalled by this and jerk back from what every she is doing. She will learn that it is bad to do that and should stop. Tapping your kitten won't hurt her, but its uncomfortable since its a very sensitive area.How do I change the behavior of my 9 week old kitten?

    It's basic play behaviour. Say no firmly and ignore her for a while after. When shes gentle praise and fuss her.

    How can we change agressive behavior in a one year old boston terrier?

    My husband and I recebtly adopted a one year old boston terrier from a family. The boston terrier was being adopted out because the families 3 boston terrier were shredding each other to bits. (litterally with tons of scars and blood). We were told that the BT was great with kids and other female dogs. We have the BT for 2 weeks now and he is adorable, has a great personality and is sooo cute, but whenever we walk him and he sees or hears other dogs, he freaks and barks this high pitch bark. (it's embarassing) and yesterday, we brought our BT to a family who had a female pug (since we were told that he gets along with female dogs). --well, the dogs barked and fought, my husband got bitten by our dog. Thankfully the BT has no rabies.. We also notice that our BT does not like to be moved when sleeping and growls at us and that would bark at playing kids and twice he barked at kids who wanted to pet him. -- How do we discipline or train a traumatized Boston Terrier?! Help?!How can we change agressive behavior in a one year old boston terrier?
    he's not traumatized for one. he's been allowed to continue this behavior for too long. you have a lot of work on your hands that's for sure.



    the people who gave him to you weren't honest with you. often dogs that are that aggressive with other dogs are very dominant and have problem behaviors. you don't think they were getting rid of the favorite one do you? of course not, they were getting rid of the problem child.



    and you should have researched this breed and what you were getting before you put other dogs and people at risk. please stop doing that until these behaviors can be worked on.





    contact a professional behaviorist. a group class is not going to be best for this dog or you at this point. you need professional 1 on 1 training to help correct this problem. you need to be 150% dedicated to correcting it also. if you are not, you need to consider contacting a rescue that will work with this guy. he is a lawsuit waiting to happen.



    do not try many things on your own. if you are not consistant, or are doing something just a tad bit wrong you can make this problem worse rather than better.



    so please contact a professional dog behaviorist as soon as you can. until then keep him away from any child at all, other dogs and strangers.



    if you are out walking him and when he begins to start to act nervous at another dog, person or anything give a quick tug on the leash and tell him no. keep walking and do not allow the behavior to escalate.



    your trainer will be able to show you how to best correct this.



    boston's were created from fighting types of dogs. they were bred to fight. they are terriers so they are stubborn and difficult at times. they are not really for a first time dog owner. but if treated, trained and kept correctly they are wonderful dogs. it's very possible to turn this guy around. but you must be in it for the long haul, be commited and be consistent in your training.



    again if he's not neutered, start there.How can we change agressive behavior in a one year old boston terrier?
    Yeah that's why they got rid of him likely.. he was the instigator.. Go get yourself a professional trainer / behaviorist and find out what can be done.How can we change agressive behavior in a one year old boston terrier?
    A lot of times aggression problems stems from their own fear. Call a dog trainer or dog behaviorist immediately. There is always hope for a dog. Don't let this dog bully you. You need to let them know you are the leader, not them. If you give negative, or nervous energy, they change you leadership, to their leadership.How can we change agressive behavior in a one year old boston terrier?
    The dog has more than likely been Miss treated or never scolded for fighting with other dog's. It is gonna take a lot of work to rehabilitate him. You may really want to spend the money and get a trainer for the dog. I would rather pay a couple of hundred and fix the problem than a few thousand by getting sued for the dog killing another dog or biting some one. I am not saying it can't be a good dog at all, it just needs a little help. It is scared because it has had to fight to defend it's self so of coarse another dog is intimidating to it. Call a local pet store some times they offer classes at a really reasonable price. Good luck, and just keep loving this poor little guy. Iam sure he needs it.How can we change agressive behavior in a one year old boston terrier?
    Get your dog into a dog training class or better yet, contact a dog behaviorist. Your BT is controlling the entire family/pack!



    Demote your dog now:

    No treats without earning them.

    You eat while dog watches and then feed dog.

    No dog on bed or furniture.

    No toys or attention unless you initiate it.

    Attach a leash to you and your dog and have dog follow you everywhere.

    You have a wonderful dog, committing some time and hiring a dog behaviorist will make your dog a wonderful part of your family!How can we change agressive behavior in a one year old boston terrier?
    Well this is going to take alot of patience on your part.



    This is going to sound dumb but don't take the dog anywhere until his behavior calms down



    When i have an aggressive canine i have about 4/5 fly swatters and what i do is fan their tails when they do something wrong and then bang it on the floor and say no.



    The madder and or louder you get at him the more he will resist the retraining



    Also when taking him out put a harness on him so he knows YOU ARE IN CONTROL, take the flyswatter with you and if he seems to want to attack swat the ground, break his attention back to you instead of the other dog



    I hope this helps because it sure works here and the people that had those babies should have them taken away as they are the ones that trained them to be this way (fighting and being aggressive) GOOD LUCK

I am not saying it can't be a good dog at all, it just needs a little help. It is scared because it has had to fight to defend it's self so of coarse another dog is intimidating to it. Call a local pet store some times they offer classes at a really reasonable price. Good luck, and just keep loving this poor little guy. Iam sure he needs it.How can we change agressive behavior in a one year old boston terrier?
    Get your dog into a dog training class or better yet, contact a dog behaviorist. Your BT is controlling the entire family/pack!



    Demote your dog now:

    No treats without earning them.

    You eat while dog watches and then feed dog.

    No dog on bed or furniture.

    No toys or attention unless you initiate it.

    Attach a leash to you and your dog and have dog follow you everywhere.

    You have a wonderful dog, committing some time and hiring a dog behaviorist will make your dog a wonderful part of your family!How can we change agressive behavior in a one year old boston terrier?
    Well this is going to take alot of patience on your part.



    This is going to sound dumb but don't take the dog anywhere until his behavior calms down



    When i have an aggressive canine i have about 4/5 fly swatters and what i do is fan their tails when they do something wrong and then bang it on the floor and say no.



    The madder and or louder you get at him the more he will resist the retraining



    Also when taking him out put a harness on him so he knows YOU ARE IN CONTROL, take the flyswatter with you and if he seems to want to attack swat the ground, break his attention back to you instead of the other dog



    I hope this helps because it sure works here and the people that had those babies should have them taken away as they are the ones that trained them to be this way (fighting and being aggressive) GOOD LUCK

    How to change this behavior?

    i am training a service dog and he is going to get his CGC monday. i am certain he will pass but i am not able to begin any kind of public access because of sanitary reasons. i don't know why he is doing this but he pees on his front legs. he does it usually 1-3 times per day. he is a program dog and none of the other trainers have seen anything like it. he is a shelter dog (passed all the health checks) and seems to be a sighthound (possibly a saluki) crossed with a flat coated retriever. he has feathering on the back of his front legs so it is difficult to just wipe off. you would have to use shampoo and conditioner to make it possible to comb through it again. the only reason i can think of that this would be happening is that he has longer legs - he is taller than he is long. he is about a year old %26amp; has all of the qualities we are looking for for a seizure response dog (whenever you fall, he automatically licks your face and lays down next to you).



    i have talked to several other trainers with our program, two of which have been trainer for more than 25 years. none of them have seen anything like this or have any ideas of how to train him not to do it (besides trim the feathering off of his legs so that it is easier to wash off).



    any ideas?????How to change this behavior?
    It sounds like this dog should be washed out of the program. Not sure what program you work with, but I am waiting for a service dog and I can tell you right now I would not want a dog that would present with such a problem.



    If you've already ruled out medical problems, and the dog is showing no signs of %26quot;figuring it out%26quot; anytime soon, he won't likely be the best service dog candidate, especially if none of the trainers have any insight as to how to correct the problem.

    Is it okay to be extremist in my actions and thoughts?How can i change it?

    I feel that i am extremist in my actions,behaviour, thoughts and routine.The problem is that i feel extremity towards both ends e.g.one time i'll sleep a lot and nest time i'll be awake for 36hours.Whenever i think of something one time it'll be this and other time it will be that .I am stuck in this two way extremity of my mind and thoughts.Sometime i cant figure it out that what is the real %26quot;me%26quot;.Sometime there will be no one more relegious than me and other times i'll be acting as most Liberal person on Earth.I want to know that is it normal behavour?.Or is it some kind of Disease?.How can I discover real me?.And how can i change this behaviour because sometimes it really irritates me.Is it okay to be extremist in my actions and thoughts?How can i change it?
    I don't see anything really wrong with being an extremist in your thoughts as long as you don't expect others to agree with you. I believe that everyone has at least one %26quot;hot button issue%26quot;.. something they are very passionate about!



    As for your sleep patterns, in the long run that can be unhealthy. There are doctors that can monitor your sleep to see if you have apnea or another condition causing this.



    When will you know the %26quot;real%26quot; you? Just keep looking and experiencing life. Keep a journal. Figure out if you are sometimes reacting to something you really don't care about or if you're brushing off things you care about a lot.Is it okay to be extremist in my actions and thoughts?How can i change it?
    Your trying to figure out the real you? Well in life we go though changes. But you say your a extremist type of person. Hey can that be the real you, your extremist. Is that wrong? NO. That's just how you are. What would be wrong is if you think everyone should be like you or believe like you, or do things like you. You can't put your believes on someone who don't want to believe like you.If one day your a real religious person and the next day your a Liberal person, you obviously believe a little of that in a little of that, so what, that's normal. I believe you can discover the real you every day of your life. That's grows in age. Every month, every year, every decade we grow,and are believes change with it. Keep some kind of notes or journal. That will help you too.

    Boyfriend+change of behavior=confused me? help T^T?

    my boyfriend and i have been together for a little over a year now and he's changed a bit from a few months back. we started off texting a lot and calling before falling asleep...but now he's going through a lot and i understand that he's busy and very much tired by the end of the day. but i feel like something is wrong or 'off'...he hardly sends any text messages and he rarely calls me.



    should i be taking this as something bad or as it seems? too tired to text and call....O.o...

    im really confused and i don't know how i should take this...Boyfriend+change of behavior=confused me? help T^T?
    Sheesh. So he no longer wastes your time by texting you when he has nothing to say. How horrible!

    He's relaxed. He no longer feels the need to pester you all the time. He's letting his guard down with you because he's more comfortable with you.

    Believe it or not, it's a good thing. Assuming you want to stay with him, of course.Boyfriend+change of behavior=confused me? help T^T?
    hes cheating on you.. or he want to dump you.....Boyfriend+change of behavior=confused me? help T^T?
    Its happens to every relationship. It looses its zest, spice, or whatever you want to call it. It is normal, you just have to work a little harder on finding time for yourselves.



    Tell him gently that you miss him and want to spend a little more time with him. Or ask him when is a good time to call or text him. If he is work or busy then you know why he can't call or text like he used to. Or take some time out and have date nights, or movie nights, try to find some time to reconnect and have that same feeling again.

    Personally I think you are just overreacting, but that female intuition is sometimes correct and is a good warner of things to come.



    If he comepletely starts ignoring then I would say its a problem.Boyfriend+change of behavior=confused me? help T^T?
    he really could be stressed about life... so he withdrawals.



    are you pestering him ? don;t

    Have you never asked him whats up? you should.

  • Why is my boyfriend treating me this way? What can I do to change his behavior? Has anyone gone through this?

    My boyfriend has male friends that are really getting on my nerves. We don't live together and everytime I turn around they are hanging over his house. He complains about it but he still lets them come over. It seems like he is attached to their company. They are in their 20's and 30's and they act like children. They drink alot, play poker all the time and just act like idiots. We never go out anymore and when I mention to him how I feel he gets upset and says I am trying to run his life! He's says I act immature and I am nieve! I know I am not either. I dont know why he is acting like this. It makes me wonder what am I being nieve about? His one friend is around him 24 7 and everytime you turn around he is calling. My boyfriend invited me over and he asked me if his friend could come over and watch a movie with us. I couldn't believe it I hadn't seen him in over 2 weeks and he wanted this clown to join us!! He is making me feel insecure! What does his friends have that I dont?Why is my boyfriend treating me this way? What can I do to change his behavior? Has anyone gone through this?
    The problem isn't with you girl. Don't feel insecure. Your boyfriend has yet to realize his responsibilities in a relationship. You have to confront him about it. But rather than telling him what you want him to do, tell him what sort of behavior you expect from the guy you are with. Don't be angry about it, just be serious and calm. You want time alone with him. Tell him that you have no desire to be with someone who is unable to dedicate time to you (if that is the way you feel). Tell him that you will not accept being treated as just a 'pal' because you are not. If he still doesn't change or make any effort, then you should bail on him. He's never going to treat you any better than that.



    Hope it goes well and he gets the picture!Why is my boyfriend treating me this way? What can I do to change his behavior? Has anyone gone through this?
    Make other plans and see what happens. Obviously talking to him about it hasnt done any good. It sounds almost as if he doesnt want to be alone with you for some reason.

    Even though he is with you and most likely loves you he is with his friends for companionship and like you said you hadn't seen him in 2 weeks he had to turn to his friends just to be around someone for fun.

What can I do to change his behavior? Has anyone gone through this?
    Your boyfriend acts like he is no longer interested in having a relationship with you. I would back off completely and wait till he crawls back-let him crawl and don't make it easy on him. In the meanwhile there are other fish in the sea-look around for someone who can appreciate you. He sounds like a dud.Why is my boyfriend treating me this way? What can I do to change his behavior? Has anyone gone through this?
    Some guys just really like to hang out with friends. I think you should sit him down talk to him. That you're fine that his friends hang out with him a lot. But you want some time alone. Just the two of you. If he doesn't change then I guess he cares more about hanging out with his friends than hanging out with you. And you should find someone who does care more about you.Why is my boyfriend treating me this way? What can I do to change his behavior? Has anyone gone through this?
    That is who your boyfriend is. He is social with his group and they are his main priority and support system. If you want to be number one you are barking up the wrong tree with this one. Simply put if you cannot accept his behavior find another guy who suits you more, because obviously this one does not. You cannot change him. You will only make you and he miserable. Cut your losses and start fresh and let him live the life he enjoys.Why is my boyfriend treating me this way? What can I do to change his behavior? Has anyone gone through this?
    Sweetie i promise its not u , I was in the same situation . Its him dump his *** and find someone else because hes the one immature and not ready to grow up. let him go he may act like he doesnt care or even try to get back with u but these kind of guys never change believe me.u need to find u someone who will treat u with respect and show u attention and yes he might want to hang out with his guy freinds well take that time to hang out with ur girls. just keep space but know that the love is there. find you someone who will love u as much as u love them.Why is my boyfriend treating me this way?

    I think I would find someone I could hang around, that didn't include him or his friends. Maybe it's a male bonding moment. He sounds like he is having trouble with a serious commitment. He needs to grow up. Find someone new.Why is my boyfriend treating me this way? What can I do to change his behavior? Has anyone gone through this?

    What are the signs a guy worker is very interested but yet hesitant to show it? (behavior, etc.)?

    Him: Oh sure (Stupid smile)What are the signs a guy worker is very interested but yet hesitant to show it? (behavior, etc.)?
    He will smile a lot. He might have his hands in his pocket or be anxious to get away from you because you make him nervous. Show some signs of interest in him so he will be more sure of himself. Then if he doesn't express any feelings still then you gonna have to ask him to hang out, then he will get the hint that you like him and might release his shell a little.What are the signs a guy worker is very interested but yet hesitant to show it?

    If an accident happened to my brain and made me changed behaviour,how do I get back to myself again?

    The best method would consist of two parts:



    o support the neuroplasticity (rewiring of neurons) during the critical phase as much as possible, to give the brain the chance to rehabilitate. This is usually achieved in a combination of medicine, sports and a diet rich in food supplements.



    o try to re-live the essence of critical events that shaped the personality. Human character defines itself from genes and environment, and particularily highly emotional situations cause a change in neuronal wiring.

    Such a thing could be the first love, the loss of a beloved or simply a good deed that worked out. Get your diary, try to work out the imprinting situations and try to re-live them. This will bring back subconscious thinking structures, and if you first learned to think as before, you will also behave as such.



    If you're not yourself dealing with the brain damage (what I suppose), don't put high hopes in a complete come-back. You can't know this person and their feelings to a 100%, and so every simulated critical situation would be gambling with destiny.If an accident happened to my brain and made me changed behaviour,how do I get back to myself again?
    This may take some time. It also depends on whether the brain was permanently affected or not. It's all a thought process, if you liked how you were before, keep trying to be the same as you were before, but always accept who you are now too. The two will eventually blend again.



    I hope your healing goes well~If an accident happened to my brain and made me changed behaviour,how do I get back to myself again?
    Studies say that you don't, if the change is due to brain damage. When a person has brain damage, the brain does a %26quot;rewiring%26quot; of information. It reroutes its processing so you are able to function. If those areas heal, you will return to normal for the most part, with minimal change. If the damage is permanent, the results are permanent.



    That being said, the accident may have no physical brain damage, but the emotional damage has caused problems from trauma. In which case, time and behavioral therapy can help, but your stress levels cause a change in brain chemicals, resulting in permanent hinderances (or enhancers, whichever the case may be).

    When did you last ask somebody if you could CHANGE your behaviour or personality with them?

    How can we get people more excited about the challenge of climate change?

    In my mind the challenges of climate change bring the potential for human beings to learn how to live in harmony with their environment and the planet. As humans I think it is sometimes hard for us to change our behaviour unless circumstances change that force us to, could the challenges of climate change save the world and in the process humanity from our destructive behaviour patterns?How can we get people more excited about the challenge of climate change?

    I am the 7th nanny to a very spoiled 7yr old girl who is very disrespectful. How do I change this behavior?

    She has had so many nannies that have clearly handled this behavior ineffectively. I have consistently told her in a calm polite voice that I don't care for her tone. I don't yell or send her to her room. I basically try to set a respectful example but my thick skin is taking quite the beating! So far nothing is working. Its clear that she is used to getting her way most of the time and I'm out of ideas and running out of patience! Help!I am the 7th nanny to a very spoiled 7yr old girl who is very disrespectful. How do I change this behavior?
    Very easy fix for spoiled little kids. Make a cake. A BIG chocolate cake. Then put it on the table and call her in. Then say for cake is only for good little girls and take a bite of the cake. U will have caught her attention then take another bite until she is begging and screaming for it. Then say you can have one piece of cake every time you are nice and respectful to me. She will instantly be nicer and show more respect as long as she gets what you told her she would. Note this can be done with any dessert such as cookies, ice cream, anything that a little girl loves.I am the 7th nanny to a very spoiled 7yr old girl who is very disrespectful.

    win the battle. No matter how many temportantrums she has she will eventually give up. Sit her in a corner or lock her up somehow. Continuous sit her in the corner (this could take hours) just do it. So will run out of energy. Once you get her in control tell her whos boss and who will get their respect.

    How should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?

    In such cases, should we make the punishment lighter, or even cut it off? I think so, because if your kids show he/she learned his/her lesson there's no reason to keep with a punishmenttHow should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?
    i agree the point is for the child to learn that what they did was wrong, and if they have learned this lesson then why continue with the punishment you have to pick your battlesHow should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?
    Perhaps, but if the child sees that they can talk their way out of punishment %26amp; their actions don't have true consequences - they may be learing a bad lesson overall.



    If they did something wrong, give appropriate punishment. If they've learned their lesson - you won't have to worry about it again.How should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?
    Eagerness from a child caught in the act of bad behavior may just be a way to get out of punishment. Be firm. Remind the child ofyour behavior guidelines, and praise the for the good things they do also. Remember to be firm. Good luck.How should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?
    If there is true repentance, then of course the punishment should be ended.



    Ours always was, so long as mom and dad new we were sincere. Although, there were some things that couldnt be stopped. Like when I was caught in a different state at 16 visiting my boyfriend. I was never allowed to see him again. Ever. That couldnt be undone.How should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?
    AHHH....................... the stupidity of a parent! Ever heard of a child lying? Of course not! Kids don't lie:) You still need to punish him, if you let him off completely, he will have learned nothing except how to lie to get out of trouble!How should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?
    I disagree, regardless of whether you feel sympathetic the damage is still done and a punishment should still be kept. If they are truly learning to change they will do better the next time, but regardless they still need to pay the price.



    Even if a criminal feels bad about their crime, they still go to jail.How should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?
    No, because it may be that they've just learned to play the game. I remember snickering with my girlfriends at school after 'weeping' my way out of a whipping.How should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?
    One of the main things we want to teach children is %26quot;responsiblity.%26quot; In other words, they need to learn that there is a consequence to every action and behavior that they do. (Same is case for adults as well. You consistently don't show up to work, you will likely loose the job). A fabulous teacher for kids is to allow them to learn by the natural consequences of their behavior. For example, a teen child doesn't like to bathe, they learn that friends will notice their body oder.



    A way to help children learn responsiblity is to allow them some voice in determining the consequences. If you have a family curfew of 12:00 midnight, sit down with the child and have them help design the consequences of breaking the curfew. For example, they could say that they should not be allowed out with friends again for a week.



    Then, when and if the curfew is broken, they receive the consequence that they helped design. If removes you as parents from being the bad guy who sets punishments or restrictions. You as a parent would simply impose the consequence that the child help establish. Again, the idea is that the child would be learning from their own choices and they are taking ownership of their own problems.How should a parents deal with a punishment if the kid shows he/she is eager to change his/her behavior?
    Kids are always going to push your %26quot;go off%26quot; buttons, there will be other times for punishments, for the ones they improve on, comment let them know that you are proud of them, but let them know that even though you are lightening up you are keeping your eye on them for next time.

    How do I change my cockatiel's behaviour ?

    Every time I lift up the blanket from his cage in the morning he greets me by hissing at me and when I try to remove his food bowl he bites me and my finger was bleeding. We bought Charlie as a tame bird and now he is really aggressive and it's making me feel bad so can someone give me some tips on how to change his behaviour.How do I change my cockatiel%26039;s behaviour ?
    you may have to gain his trust

    get some millet and hold it up to the cage, let him eat it and do this each hour. after about 5 times, poke your finger near him as he eats. if he reacts stop approaching and wait until he continues eating. then move closer. do this each hour until you are able to pet him. always talk to him gently through out.

    when he trusts you enough try getting him to step up. let him know that you are putting your finger under his chest so you don't scare him. when he steps up, praise and give millet. he now should associate you with food. try taking him out of cage. let him explore and remember to give him plenty of attention, and he'll learn that you are his Companion and not a threat. ;) .

    O.O You sound like me! Except for my cockatiel has NEVER been tame. I have the same problem with my new cockatiel. He hisses quite often and has bitten quite badly. What I've been doing is... I wear thick gloves and try to handle him everyday,talk to him,let him know every things okay and maybe he'll start calming down. It's really been helping mine,he has been hissing less and actually seems to like coming to me. I hope I was some help,if not sorry. But Good Luck.How do I change my cockatiel%26039;s behaviour ?
    It seems that you haven't gained his trust. He feels threatened by your big hand in the cage and thus he creates instinctively by biting.



    Next time you feed him or changes his water and food bowls, wear gloves and talks to him in a soothing. Avoid unnecessary quick movement. Eventually he will come to recognize your hand as a source of food.



    It will take time but the key is patience and lot of time.



    How do I change my cockatiel%26039;s behaviour ?
    i would get gloves and spend as much as time as possible with it he will change very soon because was doing the same thing and my bird came around in less than a week he was back to normal. please answer mine http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/indHow do I change my cockatiel%26039;s behaviour ?
    How is your cockatiel outside of the cage? Remember, his cage is his home. He is protecting his %26quot;nest%26quot;, this is normal behavior so I wouldn't focus too much on forcing him to change as it's instinct.



    Try to spend time with him out of the cage and see how he does.How do I change my cockatiel%26039;s behaviour ?

    My inside/outside cat is growling at us and doesn't come home anymore. Any ideas on how 2 change her behavior?

    We found her as a stray kitten, and she has always been an indoor/outdoor cat. She just recently stopped coming home for her meals, and warm bed, like she has been for the past year. A neighbor has seen her a few times, and says she growls at her cats now when they eat. She never had done this before. I've walked around the neighborhood twice this week looking for her, and I have yet to see her. But today, my husband saw her and attempted to bring her inside. She growled and then ran away from him. Nothing has changed in our household, besides her not coming home. Is there a reason she could be acting this way? Is this a sign of sickness or just her attitude? She has always been one to do things on her own terms. I know this is one of the risks that I take, letting her roam outside. However, she's very unhappy if she's inside for too long. She tends to get angry and pick on my other cats that are indoor only. Any suggestions on why she may behaving this way is appreciated. Also, any suggestions on changing her behavior is welcomed! BTW... my husband said she doesn't look the same physically, like she's unhealthy and stressed.My inside/outside cat is growling at us and doesn%26039;t come home anymore. Any ideas on how 2 change her behavior?
    Is she by any chance spayed? If not, that could be the reason for her wanting to wander off. Female cats that are not spayed are very territorial. She could be trying to assert her dominance over your other cats as well as your neighbor's. Getting her spayed will help her calm down.

    How can I correct my dog's sudden negative change in behavior?

    When left to roam the house while we are gone, he suddenly started chewing things (he is 2 1/2 years old). When left in his kennel, he urinates when we leave the house.



    He hasn't behaved this way for well over a year (as far as chewing...he's never been one to urinate in the house--since house training), and I don't know of any change in his routine.



    While we are home, he's fine. If we are away, he's not. What can we do?How can I correct my dog%26039;s sudden negative change in behavior?
    It seems like your dog might have separation anxiety.How can I correct my dog%26039;s sudden negative change in behavior?
    Urinating in his kennel would indicate a serious problem.

    Check for bladder infection first. If that's not it, then I'd suggest

    there are either serious problems with your training or the amount of exercise that this dog is getting.

    The long walk isn't just for exercise, it's also for stimulation of the brain, the nose, etc. A bored dog will start going stir crazy... and I mean unbalanced.

    we can't change others, as they live by a different code of morals, and rules. they have a different belief system also. he will only feel guilty and change when he is the one getting hurt by his actions. u can only chage how u see it, and how u respond to it. we are powerless to change others, or even make them feel guilty about their behavior. we can talk to them, and tell them how hurt we are, but if they don't wish to change we can't make them.

  • I don't get this girl, why the change in behavior?

    this is about a coworker of mine. Shes a junior and Im a senior (HS). When started working at my job, she immediately caught my eye because she was beautiful. Our first couple talks were just me explaining to her how to do things. Then she started flirting with me.



    So I started play-flirting with her. She joked about us getting married and the flirting became a normal thing. We began embracing each other with hugs when we saw each other. Then we started slapping each others buts. That was all fun and games. But she kissed me on the neck the one day we embraced and the tone seemed to change a little bit. The last time we worked together, things seemed a lot different. She seemed to want to just be around me. She stayed by me instead of doing her job. I saw her watching me when we werent talking and she glared at me when I was joking with another girl.



    Then we had lunch together while we were on our breaks. After lunch, we got into an argument about helping one another. I thanked her for all the help she gave me and told her thats why I'd marry her. Then she said I dont help her enough. I dont know whats up with her. She spoke a lot more with her action. She looked for me to have lunch with. Then I came up to her to ask her a question and I put my arm around her and she backed in to my arms. We texted for a long time the other day til she just stopped. She gets mad when I dont text back and she did it to me. Idk, I kinda like her nowI don%26039;t get this girl, why the change in behavior?
    Tell her then! She defeinetly likes you. She's waiting on you to make the move. What you waiting for? She probably just gets jealous when you play with other girls. It's our nature.I don%26039;t get this girl, why the change in behavior?
    idk thats tricky maybe she gets nervous around uI don%26039;t get this girl, why the change in behavior?
    My opinion suggests that your love has reached a point of %26quot;obsession%26quot;. It doesn't seem your in an obsession, but she is in an obsession with you. Not to sure if that is such a good thing, but maybe you should just continue and see how it goes.

    How Do I Get My Rescue Puppy to Change His Behavior?

    I rescued a 7 month old corgi/lab puppy from an abusive home and am having a little trouble trying to figure out what to do in order to change his bad habits.



    I already have a fantastic, well-trained and well-adjusted 9 month old collie/pit puppy and he and the new pup get along great.



    Rossko (the rescue pup) adores me and follows me everywhere (I've had him for four days). He's a great dog and listens very well.

    Problem 1: When we go to the dog park, he sits between my legs and refuses to leave my side, even to play with my other puppy. I've taken him when it's not crowded and when it is crowded... it doesn't make a difference. He doesn't mind other dogs coming over and sniffing him and isn't the least bit aggressive, he just refuses to leave my side.



    Problem 2: He's very apprehensive of men and small children. His abuser was male and I doubt he's ever been exposed to children. When we're going for walks and encounter either men or children, he barks in a protective manner and raises the hair on the back of his neck. However, once he's deemed that there's no threat, he calms down (and has sniffed at a few children out of curiosity). Again, he's never been aggressive about it (he's actually extremely submissive), just very protective.

    *I don't know anyone with children to expose him to in a controlled environment

    *He's started warming up to my boyfriend, but Rossko is even more clingy when the boyfriend comes around (climbing onto my lap when we're on the couch, wiggling his way between us on the bed, sitting at my side when I eat, etc.)



    Any suggestions for solving either problem would be fabulous!!How Do I Get My Rescue Puppy to Change His Behavior?
    He's not barking in a %26quot;protective manner%26quot;, he's afraid. The best thing you could do for this puppy is to take him to puppy kindergarten classes to get him socialized in a controlled setting with a knowledgeable instructor. Dog parks aren't good for a lot of dogs because there's too many unfriendly and out of control dogs there so that's not a good place to take this puppy. You'd be doing him a huge service by taking him to classes where he'd get socialized. Also, puppies gain confidence from success, so as he's learning he'd gain confidence and that's what this little guy needs.How Do I Get My Rescue Puppy to Change His Behavior?
    It will just take time and patience. He's obviously uncomfortable with those situations as they have been unpleasant for him in the past, he just has to learn that it's okay now and that he can trust his surroundings now that he is with you. It may help to bring a treat he likes along with you on trips to the dog park and such to give him other more positive things to think about, and he will eventually associate being at the park with getting treats.How Do I Get My Rescue Puppy to Change His Behavior?
    Time is your best friend.

    She just came from an abusive home, so she will be nervous of anything new for awhile. You are safe, so she will cling to you.

    We went through the same things with our rescue dog. It took her about 4 or 5 months to get used to men.

    She was very protective of me, and still is, probably because I 'saved' her. I would assume it's the same with your new puppy.

    4 days isn't very long for her to adjust, give her a few weeks.

    Good luck!How Do I Get My Rescue Puppy to Change His Behavior?
    My shelter dog is from the same situation as yours. Mack would always stay by me at the dog park, eventually (I would say about a month after I had him) he ventured away to play. He would always glance back and make sure I was there, and if I moved to grab a toy or talk to another person he came back to me. Now (2 years later) he could care less where I go. Our vet said when you get a shelter dog, they have already been left by their previous owner, so they're making sure you won't do the same thing. Give him time and he'll ease up.



    As to the problem with the men and small children, we had that problem but with women. He was fine with me but if I raised my voice or another woman walked in the house he would run tail tucked between his leg and peeing into a corner. Now he knows that no one is going to hurt him and he's absolutely fine. My husband and I would always push him down if he tried to jump on my lap or sneak in between us on the couch. He knows he can lay at my feet but that's as far as he's getting!How Do I Get My Rescue Puppy to Change His Behavior?
    Spend as much time with Rossko as you can. With the abuse you have mentioned he will need all the love you have to give him and this will reassure him that life is not always that bad. It may take months or years for any changes...but he may also never behave like an animal that was not abused. Only time till tell. Your boyfriend is good for him too. Ask that he spends as much time with him that he can...walking, playing, just sitting and petting. This will reassure him that all men are not bad. You will also need a space that is just for him like a dog crate where he can feel safe. This will also be a place you can keep him when you are doing other things that you do not want to involve him in. He need boundaries. When he can have your attention and when he can't.



    I too have rescued a dog from a puppy mill. She took a week to house break but she would hide under my bed and not come out. When I changed my schedule and worked out of the house she reverted back to old ways and it was very hard to housebreak her again. I have though. Only because I am no longer working. She has her own space...perfers to be hidden, so she has a pillow on the floor behind my husbands chair. And she sleeps under my bed at night. She has learned from my other baby that it is okay to bark at anyone coming into the house. She would not do this before. She also would not play with the other dogs in our yard. She does a little, but really wants to stay on the porch and watch. She will come off the porch when I go in the yard and bounces around to play with me. She only bounces because she has toned up and can move better although her back legs are bowed from all of the birth she has had. She does move a lot better. I wanted to share this with you to let you know that it will get better but you need to have patience, love, and time to do it.

    Need immediate advice on how to change my behavior?

    Hello, I am 21 years old, going on 22. I have a severe problem with getting angry or excited too quickly, and I think it has reached the boiling point for me. I cannot continue like this. Every time I am confronted by my parents about something, I back talk, I get offended, and we go back and forth. This has been going on for years now. I have a quick temper, and it gets me into trouble frequently. Every single day for the past week, there has been some incident dealing with my family, at which I am at the center, and I escalate the situation with my anger. I almost got into a real dire situation in 2004 dealing with security at the airport. Even when there is an adverse situation with my family that doesn't even involve me, and I chime in, I always support the negative action, or reaction. I am at my wit's end. I need to change right now, and I seems I can't. Every time the test comes to show a different action, I fail, and I fail miserably. I am a firm believer and follower of Jesus Christ, but I know that faith without works is dead. Please, if anyone can give me some sort of advice, please do. I can't take having these situations, and having to be scolded and lectured about it, and have to think about it. I want to do a complete 180, immediately. Right now.Need immediate advice on how to change my behavior?

    Find an anger management class, talk to your doctor to see if it is medical in nature (such as food allergies, which are known to trigger behavior issues) and/or find a behavioral therapist who will focus on teaching you new coping methods and how to effectively change your responses to situations.



    I don't think there is an immediate way to change this, however; maybe you can get your family on board, explain that you can see that your behavior is having a negative impact, you don't want to react this way, and can they help you with this.



    Hopefully, this will be helpful. Good luck.Need immediate advice on how to change my behavior?
    Here's something to try:



    When you start to feel angry, STOP! This can include putting your hands in your pockets, whistling, snapping your fingers, taking deep and slow breaths, tapping your foot, anything to occupy yourself.



    Then try to think positive thoughts: I can do this. This can work. I can try this. Avoid negatives such as: this sucks. I wish this wasn't happening, etc,...



    Then make a plan. Choose what your actions should be, and the consequences for each. Sort of like quick on the spot pros and cons.

    Meditation can help with calmness and mental discipline.



    Positive affirmations are useful in beginning to change your attitude.



    Keeping a journal can help you work through your feelings.



    Anger usually stems from a feeling of helplessness. Sometimes that can happen when we feel we are being treated unfairly, that the other person is not understanding or not listening or not considering you... when you feel the situation mounting try to understand it from the other side. If someone is giving you fair criticism, listen-- you don't have to agree, but take it into consideration. If they are just dumping on you, then just tell them you don't want to talk about it and walk away. If they are not listening or :hearing%26quot; you, realize you can't change them, just how you react to them.



    It is a process, but being aware you are the one with the problem and not trying to blame it on everyone else is the first step.Need immediate advice on how to change my behavior?
    I actually know exactly how you feel. And it's hard to keep getting back up when you know that you'll most likely fail again..but i'd like to point out two verses to you:



    Philippians 3:13 %26quot; But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead%26quot;



    Isaiah 43:18 %26quot;Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.%26quot;



    We all make mistakes, and no it's not okay, but God forgives us, and He still loves us. So, what helps me, is to take a breather before i speak, CONSTANTLY be in prayer for God's peace in that situation, and take a look at how you're gonna feel after. Because if you think about what you're gonna feel, either pride in an accomplishment, or regret, it can help you do the right thing. here's some more verses, haha:



    James 1:19 %26quot;My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,%26quot;



    Ephesians 4:26-27 %26quot;In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.%26quot;



    So, pray, beg God to help you and if you let your body be a willing vessel, He will.

    Well, you took the first step. You came to the realization that there is a problem. I too at one time had a real bad problem with anger. I called it a generational curse for my father, half brother, brother, sisters and I all had that problem. My mother was stubborn but her anger wasn't like ours. I came to the realization one day that I had to stop. I asked the Lord to give me strength and it took some time but, I am finally able to say that I can control this anger. There is a scripture that says that we are to think about the good things, the lovely things the things that bring about a good report. Those things are all speaking of Christ. We are to have the mind of Christ and have the humility that He had. Scripture also says that Pride comes before a fall. Don't allow stubbornness and pride take you down that road. Another thing that I do is call on the name of the Lord. Those who call on the name of the Lord the same shall be saved. I do this verbally over and over again in my thoughts or out loud when I have this anger that sometimes rears up it's ugly head. It works. Calm yourself down when placed in this situation and pray that He give you strength. Learn also to honor your folks. Jesus told us to pick up our cross and follow Him. Picking up our cross means to die to that Sin nature. We are also to lay our lives aside for the needs of others. By honoring and respecting your parents you will find favor with God. By doing all this you will also find favor with man and you can live peaceably with everyone. Read 1 Corinthians 13. It speaks of Love.Need immediate advice on how to change my behavior?
    You need help with anger management with a psychologist. In the meanwhile try to not react to a situation immediately, try to let a little time pass before you react. Once you have done that try not to make inflammatory responses, try to take the middle-of-the-road position. You will never have your point of view listened to if you start a quarrel, people stop listening as soon as this happens.
