dear listener and welcome into our IELTS speaking part 3 about children and their behavior in general.
Rory is a super expert on children.
He taught all kinds of children in different countries.
What bad behavior do children usually have?
Oh, there's quite a range, really.
And a lot of what is considered good and bad depends on cultural conceptions about how to behave properly.
Generally speaking though,
it's about actions that disrupt the normal way things should go,
or at least they aren't conducive to that.
For example,
throwing a temper tantrum in a shop isn't very pleasant for the people around you who have to experience this.
Uncontrolled noises aren't that great for public order, to be honest with you.
Why do children misbehave?
I took about as many reasons as there are potential bad behaviors, I'd imagine.
It could be anything from just not having developed self-control to having some kind of behavioral or emotional issue like fetal alcohol syndrome.
I mean, that's one end of the spectrum.
On the other,
they could just be having a very bad day and not dealing with it terribly well.
How should parents stop their children from behaving badly in public?
