Children's naughtiness is usually due to their lack of love and affection. Therefore, the first step towards treatment is to show them attention and care, and spend enough time with them, while avoiding describing them as naughty and keeping them away from negative external influences. It is necessary to vary the methods of guidance (by اشاره - pointing, tawjeeh - directing, mulahadha - observing, tawbeekh - scolding), and to make punishment the last resort. Its methods include: temporary neglect, depriving them of what they love, abandoning and estranging them, and threatening with execution when necessary.
