Positive Ways to Discipline Your Child

Rules

Positive discipline begins with the establishment and continuous enforcement of the rules. Children need boundaries to learn. Borders are as safety nets for children.

They understand what they can and what not, what they can or can not say, and what is expected of them. Rules provide the child with predictability boundaries and consequences, stability and consistency. The rules should be fair and age appropriate and have some flexibility.

Consequences

Positive discipline includes follow. A child should learn at an early age, there are negative as well as positive, consequences for his behavior. Learn natural consequences or the hard way help children understand and experience with related follow behaviors. Structured or planned follow help to see the correlation between their behaviors and their consequences for behavior. Children know what are their consequences in advance. Follow with planned the child makes a choice and therefore must recognize his behaviour and accept the result.

Time Out

Time out can the child time to think about their behavior.

Timeout can be the child the opportunity to reflect on his behavior. Typically, the child in time-out is one minute for each year of his age. In other words, if the child is 5 years old, is the child in time out for 5 minutes. Some children have a difficult time isolated in their rooms, while other children can enjoy the opportunity to their rooms. In this case might be time more effective, if the child has, in a corner or at the kitchen table to sit. If timeout is finished, should a conversation with the child be made, to assure that he has sympathy for the discipline why was attached.

Redirecting

If the child to do something or act in a negative way, can his attention to something else redirect reduces or stops the behavior. It is important to the child to an activity or chore that find pleasant or stimulating the child would redirect. For example, when Johnnie, who loves to help in the kitchen is he on his little sister, Susie, picking can be redirected to say something as simple as, "Johnnie, you have to help me make dinner."

Teaching

Teaching is a proactive discipline technique. With this method, the child is prepared in advance. For example, if you plan to take an active child to a funeral, you can speak with the child in advance. Talk to him about what he will hear or see, in addition to what is expected of him. This proactive technique will also help alleviate fears, which sometimes attribute to anxieties in children.
