Show Notes:
This audio isn’t so much about prevention – that is wonderful when it works and consists of:
- Warning the kids ahead of time of what to expect
- Being CLEAR and going over the rules so they understand what is expected
For example bedtime – make sure it is a specific time and have a routine/ baths, story etc. If they take too long no story – etc.
- Practicing especially when younger “coming” when you call them, answering yes mom or yes dad when directed with a question – that they heard you, etc. – Saying “Sorry” if they are wronged or admitting a wrong.
- Rewarding good behavior
Basically discipline falls into these three very broad categories:
- Intervention
- Time Outs
- Taking Away
Which works for your child is a puzzle you have to figure out – but one thing I want to discuss in this podcast is the discipline techniques that I have found really work well for my family – and this is no matter what their age.
- Discipline that fits the crime.
- Life isn’t fair
- Enlist the help of the first born – teach kids to be kind to each other – rule with love or privileges are taken away
- When kids have a meltdown or are whining etc.
- Money
- Consistency
- It is never ending – once kids do it once it is fun and they ask all the time.
- They are exhausted from staying up late – and eating too much junk and it takes days to get over it.
- Their behavior is atrocious and it takes days to get them “back to normal”
- When you say no – mean it
The best advice I can give is prevention, consistency and PRAYER not necessarily in that order.
