How do you displince your kids when they misbehave you?

Question

How old are they?

Answer 1

Wow, I can't believe how many people here are hitting their kids and I hope Valga NEVER has a child! Hitting only teached violence. It's the weak parent's form of discipline and never acceptable. Let's get back to your question though:

My son is nearly two and at this point, I don't feel he's developmentally ready for time outs or otherwise. He bit me this morning, for example. All I could do was get on his level, so we were eye-to-eye and say "NO biting! It hurts Mama" He got the message and cried. After a minute, I hugged him and told him that I love him and that we don't bit people.

Discipline needs to be age appropriate ALWAYS. It makes no sense to give a baby a time out when they have no idea what's going on. I'll say it again, hitting is never the answer. Parents who are lazy and mentally weak hit children. Inferior parenting is what it is.

Answer 2

Funny everyone says to watch supernanny since I got one of the ideas I use on the children from nanny 911. I use good and bad marbles. I have two jars. One labeled Bad :( and one labeled Good :) . I made a list of common unacceptable behaviors and went over it with the children. If they do bad they get bad marbles (obviously) and if they get a certain amount (this you will have to decide upon depending on what types of behavior you are trying to eliminate) they get a privilege taken away. I keep taking away things until the behavior gets better. I used to have to do this daily with my 8 yr. old step son but now only have to use it weekly (totaling up the amounts) and rarely ever have to restrict him from anything because he knows when he hears that bad marble clang into that jar he's getting closer to trouble. On the flip side, you don't want to be always punishing a child so you encourage them by giving them good marbles when they do something thoughtful, or remember not to do a bad behavior and you want to really try to make a fuss when they do something good. Then if they get so many good marbles and not many bad you can reward them with small items. A cheap toy from a dollar store, or a box of their favorite snack, even a trip to the park or some other family outting is a nice reward and it's helps to show them that when they are good they get to do more things.

Answer 3

firm voice and consitancy with whatever you choose. i use "the corner" for my 3 year old (he hates that) and a spank on the bum when needed. my 11 month old gets a little tap on the bum (through the diaper). usually both listen to the firm voice. some people say they don't need disipline at such a young age (11 mos) but if you start when the bad behavior starts, then you won't have to undo anything that you've previously let them get away with, like screaming or temper tantrums (my oldest was a couple of months when he threw his first fit because he didn't get what he wanted)

Answer 4

Two boys, ages 2-1/2 and 6. When they misbehave I have to get right on the behavior and nip it in the bud, separate them if I have to, and time outs or withdrawal of "priveleges" such as trips to McD or pizza place, favorite bed toy downstairs, etc. Only spanking on the bum when absolutely necessary makes them not get used to it, so it works when it's done.

Answer 5

It depends.....My son is just over a year so he is just starting to act up and try to be independent....right now it is just a "no" and take away what ever he is getting into.....but I will not be afraid to spank when he is older.....there is a difference between beating a child and a spanking on the rear end.....people coudle their children now and wonder why their is an increase in child crime....children need discipline and need to know that it is not going to be pretty.,

Answer 6

1. make up some house rules
2. take away there favorite toy/game for a few hours
3. stop any pocket money/ sweets treats
4. take a step out of the box and ask yourself why they are like this
5. talk to your children
6. change your scene do something you have never done before with them an activity/be creative

these are but just a few answers , it would be easier to answer if you noted there ages

best of luck

Answer 7

It depends on a lot of things--if he(3) is not sharing with his brother(1), then I take the toy completely away from him and tell him why. If he physically hurts someone, then I spank him because that is something that is absolutely not acceptable. Then when he calms down, I talk to him about it. Good Luck with yours.

Answer 8

Give them the choice of getting 5 whacks on the butt or kneeling on the floor with their nose against the wall for 30 minutes.

They learn fast that their actions have consequences, and they're usually not pleasant. So they behave juuuuuuust fine.

Answer 9

my son is 7 and first strike is time out second is grounded from playstation then tv then computer then toys and if he still don't comply he does get a spanking the spanking is the last result it usually never gets to that point

Answer 10

put them in their room or a time out chair depending on the age. But watch super nanny like the other one said good tips on that show.
