Well they say to punish you child according to age like if your child is five put them in time out for five minutes. With younger children you can get on to them but if you punish them for a long period of time they will forget what they are in time out for, but if you take something away from them that they like say T.V or there favorite toy. Then tell them why they are getting it taking away and they will understand a lot better and properly won't do whatever it is that they did before because they know you're not playing around when you say don't do that again or I'm going to take away your favorite toy or thing to do .... I have three children and this seem to be the best thing for me to do and it works on my kids ... Good Luck .....

First of all, the punishment should fit the crime. If you're talking about a three-year-old who steals a cookie, the punishment would not be loss of a birthday party. But if he/she viciously hurts the dog or a sibling, you explain how bad that was and then give an hour-long toy-free sit-out with no conversation from anyone or to anyone. Will it work? Not the first time. But the next time the crime is committed the punishment doubles up, but first you explain, without shouting, that this is a horrible (if it is) thing to do, and it won't be tolerated. You must NEVER shorten the sit-out time or change the punishment to lighten it. Your child has learned his/her lesson only when the bad deed is never repeated. So basically, have a fixed punishment time and type for any wrong-doing.

Use age appropriate punishment. If using time out with a 5 year old then time out is 5 minutes. The only way to stop bad behavior is to be consistant with you punishment. Afterward ask your child if they know why they were punished, let them tell you their reasoning. then if they still don't get it explain it to them. Extending the punishment when they don't understand why doesn't help.

Each child is different. Some learn right away...some never learn. You just have to watch and see the behavior for yourself.

You don't as such. He has to earn your trust all over again. Make sure he knows that.

You should be able to see if he is honestly contrite, and see by
his actions if he is changed in his behavior.
