LEVEL OF DISCIPLINE

Below 6 years old

You should calmly say no if your baby or toddler toward an unacceptable

or dangerous object- then remove your child from that area.

You should show the good behavior as kids learn by watching adult

especially their parents.

Discuss why thats not allowed and what will happen if your child does it

again.

While you become clear on what behaviors will be punished, dont forget to

reward good behavior. Dont underestimate the positive effect that your

praise can have- discipline is not just about punishment but also about

recognizing good behavior.

For example, saying Im proud of you for sharing your toys at playgroup

If your child continues an acceptable behavior no matter what you do, try

making a chart with a box for each day of a week decide how many times you

child can misbehave before a punishment- post the chart on the refrigeratorand then track the good and unacceptable behaviors every day- this will give

your child a concrete look at how its going.

Its important to tell kids what the right things to do is, not just say what th

wrong things is. For example, instead of saying dont jump on the couch. try

say please sit on the furniture and put your feet on the floor.

AGES 6-8

Make good on any promises of discipline or else you riskundermining your authority. Kids have to believe that you

mean what you say. This is not to say you cant give second

chances, but for the most part, you should act on what you

say.

Be careful not to make unrealistic threats of punishment

Huge punishments may take away your power as a parent.

If you ground your son or daughter for a month , your child

may not feel motivated to change behaviors because

everything has already been taken away

AGES 9-12

Can be disciplined with natural consequences. As theymature and request more independence and responsibility,

teaching them to deal with the consequences of their

behavior is an effective and appropriate methode of

discipline.

Its natural for parents to want to rescue kids from mistakes,

but in the long run they do kids a favor by letting them fail

something. Kids see what behaving improperly can mean and

probably wont make those mistakes again. However, if your

child does not seem to be learning from natural

consequences, set up some of your own to help modify the

behavior.

AGES 13 AND ABOVE

Your child knows what's expected and that you mean what you sayabout the penalties for bad behavior. Don't let down your guard now

discipline is just as important for teens as it is for younger kids.

Your teen will probably complain from time to time, but also will realize

that you're in control. Believe it or not, teens still want and need you to

set limits and enforce order in their lives, even as you grant them greater

freedom and responsibility.

When your teen does break a rule, taking away privileges may seem

the best plan of action.

Remember to give a teenager some control over things. Not only will

this limit the number of power struggles you have, it will help your teen

respect the decisions that you do need to make. It's also important to focus on the positives. For example, have your

teen earn a later curfew by demonstrating positive behavior instead of

setting an earlier curfew as punishment for irresponsible behavior.
