Children are Precious,Do I Need To Discipline?

Well, I think, using rod is the last course. If it is really needed to let them realize the wrong thing they do, then that would be the last recourse. I have no children of my own but I deal with children of different back grounds in the classroom. That is maybe harder than having 3 kids at home. I always deal with 50 or more kids 10 months in a year for 16 years. That was awful, but I learned many ways why kids act this and that. I admit, it is not easy to deal with kids. The parents blame the teachers for not teaching good morals to their kids and teachers also blame the parents why they can not discipline their children. To me, the parents are the one's responsible for their children. They have all the rights to impose discipline which they think good for them.

Well, if the children becomes so naughty, then a rod will be needed to make them stop. A spanking on their butt would not hurt, as long as you make sure it just heat the butt (of course, it's clothed! ) Spanking will warn them that next time a bad behavior will be done , a spanking will be done again. That would deter them from doing it again. The Bible,also states that we should discipline our children at an early age and using the rod is one of them.

Hi regorjmnz, Welcome to MyLot! Yes! there are really precious and our treasure. It is normal to children to become sometimes crazy, restless and having foolishness in their mind. Discuplining a child can be a challenging task for many parents like you. Learning how to properly disciple your child will benefit you and your child forever. Disciplining a child is a mandatory part of parenting and needs to be done properly. I have a friend of mine who was really good in advisoring for new parents and she encouraged them to read and apply the steps she gave. As often hearing those words to her. I also learned how to deal with being a new parent even i'm not yet a parent atleast i already know what are the steps in desciplining my child in the future. So here it is, First, Pick out a time out area. Find place in your house where you will be able to use as a time out spot for your children. Placing your child in time-out is the proper way to discipline your child or children. Choose an area where there are no distractions or things the child can play with. Second, Give your child a WARNING. the first step in disciplining your child is giving your child a firm and serious warning. Tell your child that if they do what they are not suppose to do again, they will go to time out. Make sure your child has eye contact with you and squat down to their level. Use a firm voice so that your child will know that you are serious. Third, Place your child in time out. Take your child to time out if they break your warning that you gave them. make sure you follow through with your warning at all times. Forth, Tell your child why they are in time-out. Make sure you have their full attention after you place them in time out and tell them why they are there. Fifth, Be consistent! if the child or children get up from time-out, keep taking them back to time out. It doesn't matter if it takes you ten times, be consistent, stay strong and follow through. Sixth, Set a timer for your child's time out. When disciplining your child, Set your timer for 1 minute per age of the child. So if the child is 5 years old, set the timer for 5 minutes. If the child gets up after two minutes, take them back to time out and have them stay there for another 3 minutes. Seventh, Explain to the child again why they were in time out. After their time out is over, explain to them why they were in time out and ask them to apologise for their behavior. Lastly, Hug and kiss your child. After the child has completed their time out, you can now give them a kiss and hug. I hope these steps will help you well dear friend! God Bless your family!
