Add some structure to her life with a few daily chores, picking up toys, making her bed, carrying her dishes to the sink, hanging up pajamas, helping her parents or siblings. Add these little jobs to her life one at a time ( give each one a week or so before adding another) and follow through with some type reward/consequence system that will enable her to learn obedience, initiative, and a sense of achievement for her work.

These little jobs will begin to give her a sense of purpose and fulfillment even though she is young. Reward each of her successes with a bean in a small jar, letting her know that when the jar is full of beans she has earned a special reward such as an ice cream outing, staying up later one night, choosing a movie to rent, going on a picnic....

You must also develop a consequence suitable to her nature. Some children respond to negative words, some to restrictive physical actions, some to spanking. Start easy and find out what works best for her.

You are on the right track to get started now. It isn't easy to perform this part of parenting, but it will be very worth your while in the long run. Good luck.

Consistency is where you should start. Being firm without yelling. The tone in your voice is enough. Keeping a child on a schedule also helps because they know what to expect. Don't put up with anything that you don't approve of. There can be time outs. They say a minute for every year. I would sometimes go longer depending on what they did wrong. Make her sit on a chair or in her room. Whichever you see fit. Sometimes just talking helps. Don't give in just because she cries or throws a temper tantrum. Stand your ground. It may be hard at first.. but after awhile you will see changes. Patients and standing your ground is the best way to handle it.
I have four kids and ran a daycare center at home with 11 kids and rarely had problems.

Reaction is key .She learns by example and experience.Re-enforce everything positively ,yes even while disciplining the wee mite,and remember to always explain why toys are restricted or why she is sent to her room etc....
the discipline should be decided by what fits bests with your lifestyle,be loving,supportive and try showing the girl that the consequences for bad behavior are not rewarded.and that even adults are treated in the same manner...show her what happens to you when you have done something wrong.

Best of luck,I hope you find a solution that you can accept ,enforce and live with.....

Kids will be naughty - if you feel at the end of your rope,

try to get a sitter for a short time and go out and do things

you enjoy. Kids just want to discover everything about

life - that is why they are so mischevious.

When my daughter was little, I brought her to the playgrounds

all around Chicago (with cousins and her brother) That will

burn off some excess energy. Now my daughter is 23 and

a school teacher, so I must have done something right.

The only way you can really discipline your daughter is by whippins not abusing.Because if you don't shes going to think that she can run over you an don't have to mind you.You are going to have a rough time if u don't.It is in the bible that u shall whip ur children.

By giving her consistency. If you say "no" keep it no. Don't give in.
If you are referring to a form of punishment, take away a privilege, like not playing with a favorite toy for say 1/2 hr. Time means nothing at that age, so it need to be short.

if she acts out then start taking away her favorite toys, games, etc..... establish a time out chair in an area of the home that is away from all activity, ie a door in a hall that had walls on each side, sit her in a chair hands on knees for a pre-determined amount of time, this works

Even God tell us to discipline our children, spanking is not bad (but don't hit hard). After you spank your kid, talk to him/her and tell him/ her why did you spank him/her, let your child know that what he/she have done is not right or good. Every little child are easy to teach they are smarter than we are sometimes, If they learn what is good and bad at their early age they will grow up as a good person.

make sure you are consistent with your discipleine. Don't allow her to do one thing one day and yell at her the next for it. Also, if she is in the store with you and she throws a temper tantrum, leave at once, even if you have a cart full. Show her that conduct is unacceptable. Set limits and stick with them.

Well, you gotta be strict, but soft at the same time. does that make sense? lol. Like, when she does something bad, be strict on her, but use a soft tone. Because when you yell, it makes tings worse. I babysit for a living, i should know. lol. Oh, and I babysit for some parents who are phycologists, and they've taught me everything i know. so take my word for it. If you need anymore help on it, just email me. leftygoneright05@yahoo.com

Hope i've helped you out!
