Consult a child psychiatrist if behaviour seems abnormal

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Children usually are emotional and attached to parents. Any scolding, prevention from their likings or refraining their wishes leads to emotional upset.
But the good thing is the effect is short lasting.
They need to be explained with love.
If there is uncontrollable behaviour changes and outburst then you may consult a child psychiatrist.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back with further queries or details.
Regards
