Effective Ways to Discipline Your Loved Ones
Suddenly one of your kids break his toy, the expensive ones that when you bought him this toy you made him promise to take good care of it.
You might be angry. But, hey, he might be upset, too. He might be very sorry that he did it. It could be an accident.
Don’t just go and spank him. Please.
There are three things you need to do to make him turn into a more discipline kid without having to spank him:
- Find the cause - As I said earlier, he might have not meant it. It was an accident. But how did it happen? Ask him. And, try to understand why it happened. What if he purposely did it? Well, you could be the reason. He might need more of your attention, Mom.
- Alternate the punishment - No scream, no spanking, nothing abusive, ok? Find other ways to make him learn that he made a mistake. In this case, don’t buy the same toy to replace the broken one. It might teach him to be more careful with his belongings. And tell him that if he takes good care of his things he will get better toys.
- Be consistent - If you apply rewards for positive attitude and punishment for negative one, be consistent about it. Don’t ever forget to reward hisevery positive behavior. And, find a suitable yet non-abusive punishment for his bad attitude.
Don’t ever give up, Moms, Dads. No kids are born to be a bad kid.
Happy Monday!
