Positive Discipline
Helping your child learn appropriate behaviors is one of the toughest jobs of parenting. You do this by setting firm limits and sticking to them. When you are caring and consistent, your child will learn to follow your rules.
Your child makes choices about how to behave. There will come a time when your child will break a rule or a limit you have set. What will you do?
First, think about why your child misbehaved. Are they hungry? Bored? Tired? You may respond differently depending on what caused the incident.
Stay calm and ask your child what happened. Listen to what your child says, then answer them in short, easy-to-understand sentences. Restate the limit, tell your child why their behavior was wrong, then remind them what your expectations are.
