Time outs, just like in the Dennis the Menace comic strips, go stand in the corner. 1 min. for each age yr. So a 6 yr old gets six mins in the corner, no talking please. Then we discuss the behaviour. Always a hug when its done. exactly... but mine gets sent to his room |

How old is he? he is going to be 6 soon. Ahh...the age where they're starting to get bigger but still have plenty of baby left in them. They think they can do more but they aren't sure that they can. So...they test you to find out what they can do. Then they get upset with the confusing messages they are receiving within their own selves - they want their way and they have their insecurities too. Consistency is the key now. They can always depend on that and that helps them feel safe. |

I never had kids so my opinion here is worthless
but when I was 6 if I threw a temper tantrum my mom would make me walk out in the yard with her while she cut a peach switch |

LOL... so tv is unplugged until he can show me that he can change his behavior. And I am going my best to not strangle him!  Oh the joys of parenting!

The best advice I can give is for you and your kids to find a Christ loving church and attend regularly. It has worked for me and my daughter.

I try to use redirection......( if you cant out think a child, you have no buisness raising them)
when I do have to resort to discipline, I make them think about it, tell me what they did wrong. and ask how were going to fix it. then decide their punishment...( they are usually harder than I would be) the key is that they learned from it!!! |

LOL my son is just like me... do you really think that he will break that easy! LOL
Plus he is in a pushing boundaries stage... it has weaned a little.. and he is being a little more respectful since I unplugged the TV. He won't turn it on now, unless he askes me first. Over the holiday the tv will me off most of the time because he will have to learn that he will not get his way all the time. |
