what is the best way to discipline a kid?im a single mom,im only the one who is raising my son.Sometimes,when he is misbehave i keep on scolding him.. The best way to discipline your kid is to tell it to them straight. What are the things that are allowed and what are the things that are not allowed. Whether it be food, or material things or permission to play with a neighbor's kid. But you also have to arm yourself with an iron-tight reason why this decision was made. No negotiations requires no loopholes, Mommy. Good luck and always let them understand that You love them no matter how angry they just made you :) BTW, I'm a single mom of 2 kids as well. Best of luck I agree with this lady & would add: When there is a problem, start removing things that are important to the child. Nice things are a privledge; NOT a right. Loss of favorite & teaching that everything GOOD & Fun, MUST BE EARNED. Worked for my son. |

My mama would sew up my pants pockets so I wouldn't have anything to play with.

when my son does something wrong as much as possible i do not scold him in front of people. i usually bring him inside the room then talk to him and explain the consequences of what he's done. Or i Keep his toys or the things he love as a punishment until he realize what he's mistake. as much as possible never lay a hand to him

When my kid was younger, the way I found best to discipline him, was to keep him in. Having to watch his mates playing outside from his bedroom window got to him more and his behaviour improved. I also made him earn his pocket money, by doing jobs like the dishes and tidying up his room, etc. His mum would smack him though and I didn't like her doing that, as that's what happened to me when I was younger and I didn't like it happening to me. So there was no chance i'd do that to my boy. I don't know what age your son is, but if he's younger than 6, I bet he's a powerhouse? This defanitly has it's place just remember not to over due it. I had a neighbor that instead of keeping him in for an hour or 2 would ground him inside for the day. Then he'd get in trouble & she would add a day. Next thing you know the kid hadn't been outside in a week & mom was going crazy. Always wanted to tell her the idea is to punish the kid not yourself. lol Always felt sorry for the kid. They need to run or go that pent up energy explodes in ugly ways |

consistency seems to be the biggest point here
the specifics of what to do varies with what works for each child spanking worked when I grew up because I didn't much care for 'stuff' and taking 'stuff' away didn't bother me but other kids would feel like the end of the world if their stuff is taken so such a discouragement would work for them but whatever you SAY you will do, like no1 said, whether its grounding, time out, or spanking,,,,follow through with it,,, |
