Yes you are and if you don't start discipline measures soon he will be well on his way to out of control- quciker than you think is possible! Time out works well for most younger children as they get older taking away things they enjoy will work and then you really will just have to adjust your punishment depending on the wrongful act that was done, the age of the child, and how many times this same act has been done in the past, and also on the things your child will respond to and know that you are serious and you mean bsuiness! it can be rough especially when they cry and apologize as small kids but you must be though! alwyas explain to them what they have done wrong and after the punishment is complete hug them and tell them you love them and that is why you want them to grow up and be obedient.

Yes you are and the correct term is discipline. You need to do it by means of something that he understands and will remember, without getting physical. Try taking him and placing him in time out for 2 minutes in the beginning (he will think it is a lifetime!) You can also take away his favorite toy for short times too. This is emotionally painful but you will not be hitting him. My son always hated it when I took away his pound puppy. He is 21 years old now and still remembers that and tells me that he hated that more than anything I could have done to discipline him!

when my three yr old disobeys me, it is really hard to disipline, due to the age and them not understanding, But what i found that works, take a toy they love and tell them they can not play with it till tomarrow. I also use the 5 min in a corner to. Talking to them works, and saying no snacks (goodies) untill they will do what mommy says. Three is a wonderful age, they are learning so fast, just keep doing the same disipline everything they act up, then they will learn that you are serious.

If you mean discipline, yes you are allowed. Things like a time out are what I found worked best with my children at that age. I have done this with a several children as I am married, and have 4 sons of my own and am helping my husband with his 5 children. Yes, a child of three needs to know that you won't allow him to do things he shouldn't. A time out like sitting in a chair for 5 minutes, sitting on his bed, whatever works. It make take several trys before he begins to understand what is going on, but eventually he'll know what you mean when you say "you need a time out." Just make sure that while he is doing the "time out" that you are within seeing distance to make sure he understands what you expect of him for it, and to make sure that he does as you tell him to. Following through on a discipline is of the utmost importance, because if you don't they will eventually think your words like a game and not listen because they will know you don't mean it.

Absolutely! Spare the rod and spoil the child? Not exactly - but discipline is needed. C'mon, most of us wouldn't have turned out to be what we are if not for our parents. It is hard to punish a child when it misbehaves, but it's good for the child you know. Trust me, your son might cry or throw a tantrum now over time in the corner, but in the long run, it's good for him. AND make sure that you aren't beating him up or anything. That's cruel...and definitely not advisable.

Yes...dont think because hes 3 that you shouldnt punish him. You are only showing him discipline.... He is older enough to know the phrases no, stop and yes. But its one thing to punish but not too harsh.

Yes it is your duty to teach him right from wrong. but I personally do not believe in spanking or hitting a child.Time out standing in the Conner is very effective I have 5 children 11 grandchildren 3 great grand children non of them have ever been hit or spanked.They all are very good children and love me very much.and have respect for everyone they meet. besides in Ohio it is against the law to hit your child but do not do it anyway.He will grow up just fine. give him loads of love and he will give loads of love in return.Good luck.Not that you need it

Time-outs usually work. Allow one minute in time-out per one year of age. So in your case - 3 minutes.

Yes. That is how they learn what is right and wrong. Teach them at a young age that they have to mind and it wont be so much trouble when they get older.

Yes, he is your son. It's your job to show him right from wrong. Give him a time out and explain to him what he did wrong.
