Discipling your children

I do all that! Time outs, grounding, spanking. There are days that it works, and there are days which nothing realy works. I could be blue in the dace telling them, or spanking them, they just come back with more whining and crying. It'd be nice if there is another disciplinary tactic out there which I could use with my kids.

The older ones we ground from stuff they like. We don't have to do it often though. The younger one gets time out or he just has to sit next to me and not move and he hates that. Usually I just have to yell at them. Luckily our kids have yet to do anything really, really terrible where they will have to have a more serious punishment. Usually just the threat of having their computers taken away will make them behave.

well now that our daughters are older, we ground them. we ground them from seeing friends or the phone or the computer which really hurts them! when they were younger, i used to give them time outs. i never sent them to their rooms, that would have been too fun! i made them sit on the stairs which is definitely more boring!

It depends on how bad they are being. If they are really bad they get a time out at least when they were younger. My two older kids are a teen and a pre teen so putting them in time out seems kind of silly at this age. If they do something really terribly bad they will get grounded from their computer or video games because that is what bothers them the most. Or they might have to do free chores for me. The youngest though usually gets time out when he does something bad, but he is usually pretty good so it does not happen very often.

The way that I discipline each of my children is different for each of them. The reason that it differs is because of the difference in their age. My son is still young enough that time out works wonderfully for him. However, my daughter is too old for time out to be effective so for her we will take away her privledges. Right now she isn't allowed to watch television in her room because she has been having a very difficult time of listening to us. We will also take away her being allowed to go out and play with her friends. We will only spank the children when they do something that is dangerous to their well being.

I have three kids,the best tactic i make for them is that i deprive them of buying candy because they love candy and some times i deprive them from buying toys those are their best things i found that this is the fruitful
