i dont have children yet, but i took good care of my niece before, actually she made me cry because she was naughty before, natural to children, there was a time that am so mad at her, i get my belt and then i slapped her behind and after that i felt so sorry about it. children doesnt deserved to be hit like that.. you need to think twice before doing that, you can scold them, let them hear what you want to be realized by them, i am against of hitting them. share something that will inspire us on how to discipline our children. thanks a lot!

That must be considered in disciplining a child is Must be consistent Do the same schedule every day, this means that also applies to meal time, bedtime, and time of play. If you must make your changes should also help children adjust to and tell the little understanding of these changes and the obvious reason that he understood its purpose. Avoid stressful situations that make By the time children reach the age of your toddler at this stage ought to know his habits and what things that would make his behavior sometimes becomes uncontrollable. Usually, when children began to feel hungry so try to be alert do not let children eat too late, or when traveling provide bread or snack foods that can block the stomach. Think like a toddler Children also like you it's just that his body is still tiny, so try to think like him. When children have difficulty understanding or doing anything, so be patient to teach and understand. Giving him the option also shows that you also appreciate and recognize their feelings. Make your child's attention Pay attention to your child's ability is sometimes a bit limited, so parents should be able to create a conducive environment to enable the child to behave well. For example you could make something a game that is easy to apply clear rules such as the more active games like football. Give children time to rest Gives the penalty is one way that can be done to discipline children, but this action is not one good approach to disciplining children. allow children to reflect on his deeds, so he can give time to think calmly and comfortably as he obtained a punishment. A safe place, free from distractions and stimulation, in which your child can relax for a few minutes until he can regain the correct control. Stay calm When children become uncontrollable attitude try to remain calm and not to participate carried away with emotion. If you follow emotion that no children were even more severe, but also show your assertiveness with the behavior Know when the right time Sometimes there are certain things in a state of the child who is not negotiable. Children should be eating, brushing teeth, and when he's playing and bathing. So you should also know when to say yes and no to your child when he starts asking for something.

Yes I discipline my son at a very young age so that he knows between right & wrong. Its his formation stage so better start early so that I will not be having a hard time when he grows into a teen I discipline him without hitting him. I just talk to him in a very command voice that what he is doing is wrong.

I'm already a mother of three grownups but honestly I cannot give a solid advice on child's discipline that would ensure a change in child's behavior for the better. I think, it would help if we make the child realize and understand the good and bad side of his actions. Let him also feel that he is loved. There are cases where adults laughed merrily on some mischievous antics of an innocent child. Seeing how adults reacted to his deed the child may thought that he'd accomplished something wonderful, so, our reaction to what they do is also a factor.
