How to Deal With People Who Treat You Like a Child

Having healthy relationships with anyone can be trying even under the best of circumstances. However, some people have character traits or habits that can be especially irritating. One such habit is treating others as if they were children.

Step 1: Analyze your actions and initiate dialogue

Perhaps it is not really the other person who is wrong. Examine how you interact with others to see if you are acting childish or immature. Then go ahead and ask this person why she treats you like a child. If the he becomes defensive, postpone the talk until later. You will not learn anything until the person is ready to talk.

Step 2: Take your time and study how this person treats others

Find out if you are the only one he treats this way. If so, examine your relationship with this person to discover if you are giving him/her the permission to behave this way. Call him on it he/she starts acting parental.

If however this is how she treats others, then this is who she is.

Remember to stay calm. Do not take these actions personally as most times, the actions of others may have very little to do with you. Rather, it is a reflection of how they view life in general. Anger or unguarded confrontation will most likely lead to more problems.

Step 3: Confront the person if necessary

Do not be afraid to get confrontational as people like that will not notice subtle hints. If the situation becomes unbearable, prove that you are an adult by telling the person to cease. If they don't, stop seeing them or accept that you will have to tolerate this behaviour whenever you do.

Dealing with people with negative attitudes generally requires a great deal of emotional maturity. You must be able to maintain some emotional distance from the actions of those who display negative traits in order to be able to work with them effectively.
