on tv, the supernanny has the naughty chair. what is your secret to discipline?

Answer 1

Spanking! It is the only way to discipline! Time outs are a joke! They don't work. This is why we have so many problems with kids these days! Parents don't spank anymore! Spank your kids.

Answer 2

I like a lot of what the supernanny does but I don't believe in the "naughty chair." It is a way for a parent to control their child. Not a way for the child to learn self control. It is shaming and only causes resentment and anger.

I believe in using natural and logical consequences whenever possible. For example: If a child spills his milk, he wipes it up. If a child draws on the wall, they clean it. If a child throws or is destructive with a toy, it gets taken away or thrown in the trash. Taking away a toy or privilege when a child hits you is not logical.

Do not spank! Spanking is a form of punishment, not a form of discipline. If you spank your child they will only become fearful of you and learn that you should hurt someone when you want them to obey you. It is not okay for your spouse to hit you. It is not okay to hit your child.

Another technique that works well is when a child is misbehaving, get down to their level and say "I don't not like when you (explain what and why in very few words)." Take them gently to an area away from you (their room, the couch) and say "When you're ready to (listen, stop, calm down...) then you can come back with me." This is not a time out because you are not setting a time limit (you controlling your child). The child returns when they are ready to control themselves. You may have to return the child to that area a few times before they get the message.

Empathize with your child when they are calm. "I can tell you were feeling very (angry, upset, mad, frustrated..). What can we do about that?" The child will learn to express themselves when you empathize with them.

Notice them when they are behaving. Don't use extrinsic rewards (candy, stickers, "Good job!"). Use intrinsic motivators "You did that by yourself! Look how high you climbed! You used so many colors on you painting!" These words are great confidence builders!

Set limits and follow through. "No" should mean "No” the first time you say it. Offer choices not chances. Be consistent and patients. That's my secret!

Answer 3

I'm addicted to supernanny! My 5 year old listens best when he's sent to his room for a few minutes. There's no toys or t.v. in his room and I usually pull the shade down and partially close the door. Darkness is calming. My 2 year old listens best when he's put in a time out (near me) with a timer set. Without the timer, he gets up constantly, with the timer, he'll wait for the 2 minutes until the timer buzzes.

Answer 4

i'm afraid if it have been my newborn he might want a pillow earlier using the chair.the mummy and dad could desire to be held financially to blame for this for being negligent in supervising their newborn.i'm particular if between the zoo animals killed their son the might attempt to sue the zoo.How did a 7 12 months previous carry around those stay animals and climb secure practices fences without his mom and dad noticing he became no longer of their line of resourceful and prescient.This boy is a monster in training and that i'm particularly particular he will make the information back. i think of recent child's shielding centers could desire to look into this and the police as properly.i think extraordinarily advantageous maximum 7 12 months previous little ones think of it is incorrect to harm and /or kill animals.

Answer 5

Being consistant. The corner works for my 2 year old.. most time time. Kids need boundries set rules and stick to them, my freind does teh step and taht works too. My doctor told me that you can only keep them on the step or in time out for as long as how old they are. 2= 2 minutes

Answer 6

consequences and consistency. if i tell them that at teh count of three they're going to teh corner, then they do.
i never promise punishment unless i know i can carry through, otherwise its going to unbalance the whole discipline dynamics.
I also talk to them adn tell them why i asked them to do somehting adn why they have to do it.
talking is very important but they have to be old enough to understand although with my two year old, he hears the tone of my voice and listens. even if he doesn't understand the meaning, he's trying.
we always say sorry after time out. adn do the big hug and kiss

Answer 7

I love the naughty chair too.

Answer 8

I don't have any kids of my own, but children really love me. I try to be their friend (play with them, teach them things in a fun way) and because they see me as a friend, they listen to me. I think sometimes when all parents do is scream and yell, it makes the children not want to listen.

Answer 9

getting down to my childs level and telling them how displeased or pleased I am in there behavior... if I'm displeased this works better than a spanking because he see how upset and angry i am and normally runs off to his room crying ..at which point i say you can come out when you can act better...he returns abot 5-10 minutes later all better

Answer 10

Consistency...if the answer is NO today, then it's gonna be NO tomorrow and the next day...

I also take away priveleges, assign extra chores and spank when absolutely necessary.

Answer 11

I have a small chair that i put in the corner.
