What are some creative ways you punish your children? Nothing seems to work for my son. I have had bad/good jars, naughty chairs, corner, putting him to bed early, talking to him, all sorts of stuff. Nothing works!

All I can tell you is to keep trying things. Have you figured out what his favorite Toy is? Or something he likes most? Take that thing away. My son is stubborn as well, when ever he is bad we make him give a toy away to someone else, he never gets it back and we aren't pressured to want to give it back. Sometimes kids are just spoiled. Is this the same child you spoke about in another post? Perhaps you have spoiled him because of his past? If so, try taking things away and NOT giving them back.

there is a few thing extra the following happening. a newborn received't only stop doing issues for no reason in any respect. it will be the onset of puberty which could truly mess with a newborn's recommendations or it will be complications in college. possibly bullying or some thing of that nature. you want to get to the undertaking of WHY he's not doing his artwork. you're addressing a symptom, no longer the quite challenge the following. My son grew to develop into sullen and indignant very last year and did not care about his schoolwork. He changed into being bullied both bodily, mentally and emotionally. If we had only punished him he may have only gotten worse. It took a tremendous kind of work yet we were given him to communicate with us finally. He kept preserving it does no longer do any good and we may only make it worse. He changed into scared to demise of the different youthful ones. he's maximum probably crying because he's damage and indignant and disillusioned and would not comprehend a thanks to describe why. What you stated "only would not care" is rather telling. WHY would not he care? He appears like a tremendous youngster if he's an honor pupil. So what's diverse on the prompt? it is your activity to be certain, no longer only punish him. no longer that i'm antagonistic to what we call outcomes in our abode, rather than punishment. We also tell our youthful ones that they favor to be responsible for his or her own moves. each action has a effect and that is their determination what they do or do not do. We take it off our shoulders and placed it on theirs. in case you won't be able to get him to communicate, make an appt. with a counselor. get to the bottom of what's inaccurate with him. childhood can be a terrible time for a newborn and they can truly use some help getting through it.

Im going to tell you how to punish your child very well. What you do is take a very good belt that gives you a very good grip to it. This may sound mean but this is life! You take him by his wrists while you have the belt and BEAT HIM!! It may sound like child abuse, but it's not. If you're a Christian and you read your Bible it tells you that you will spoil your child(ren) if you don't beat them. If you don't want to do that, just go crazy and scream at him. I want for you to go so crazy that it scares you and everyone else who may be in the house. Knock over chairs and tables and stuff! These are very creative ways! Your child will not be expecting this from you because you let him get by with things. Time out doens't work all the time! Take the "time out" to beat him! This always worked for me and I am the most respectable person you could ever get to know. E-mail me and let me know how it goes

How old is your son?
Reinforcement = adding to or removing something from the environment to increase a behavor.
Punishment = adding to or removing something from the environment to decrease a behavior.
These only work if you know what motivates your son... as another answer called it- his "currency." Look for something that he will absolutely jump through hoops for!... then exploit the blazes out of it... consistently!!
Make sure his "currency" isn't something truly vital to his continued health,.. like food or air. If there's a certain kind of candy bar he's totally in love with, get a bag of bite-sized bars- they're usually about an inch square.
Or if it's a trip/vacation, or even some toy he really wants (make it something BIG, like that x-box he's been begging you for, or a nice bike), let him earn points with good behavior.
Ultimately, the trick is to be consistent longer than he can maintain being a pill. Treat it like a game- he does... YEAH, GO MOM!!! (I'm rooting for you!)

Well, we used time-outs for a while but they were starting to become ineffective. Then, we went to visit my mother-in-law and were introduced to the "naughty chair" concept, with a twist. Instead of putting the child in an actual chair, she makes them sit on the floor right where they are and not move.
It seems to be effective with my kids because they hate the thought of not being able to move.
Another thing you can try is taking away things that are important to him for a period of time depending on the severity of the offense. Whether it be a toy, TV, computer, outside, etc...

The two most important things are patience and consistency. Try to speak with him when he is not being stubborn to get his take on things. I wouldn't use the word punishment because it makes it seem as if YOU are doing this to him. In reality, it's your son's actions that are determining HIS consequences. Explain that there are good and bad consequences. The actions that he has will determine the kind of consequence he experiences. It is also imperative that you follow through on the consequences laid out (good and bad). I hope it works for you.

Talking very firmly and sternly - taking things away from him like no tv or video games, dessert or even a whole meal, or even a spanking. I don't know how you feel about that. I was spanked as a child, and I feel that it helped me learn right from wrong and good from bad.

Your have to figure out their favorite thing at the moment, and take it away or get more depending on the behavior. The biggest thing is consisitency. Warn once - then follow through every time.

If he/she is that bad a good old fanny spanking works then you have them SIT on a place where they have NO access to their toys, TV, video games, etc. If he throws a fit don't just ignore it face him and let him know who is the BOSS don't give in to his temper.
