Be consistent. If you say you are going to do something if they misbehave, do it. If you don't go through with it, the child will figure it out pretty quick (in fact, if you do this already, they have already figured it out) and therefore will not listen to you.

When my son does not listen , i take his favorite toy/game/teddy (depending on what he is playing with the most that day)AWAY. Instead of bribing him which is what i see most parents do. I will give him a warning first, such as "if you don't stop shouting ,i will take your...... away. "Then if he continues i count to 2(used to be 3) and i take it away for about an hour. Then if he has improved i give it back. Don't let his cries get to you(it is hard i know).After a while he will learn. This teaches him the basic law of each action (good or bad)has a consequence.Its an important lesson for life as far as i am concerned. Also i have just started the "star chart" system(stars for good behavior and a special surprise or money at the end of the week)This is also working well.Good luck!!

Be consistent and have a routine. Children do best when they know what is coming next. Reward good behavior and praise, praise, praise when you see it. You can buy charts with magnets at TRU and maybe Target, and pick out the things that you want her to do... chores, things like say please/thank you, etc. We give an allowance based on how well she did. Kids that age like to see patterns and with a chart like this, you can say something like, "well, we had a fit today, so we can't get that star, but we'll try harder tomorrow" but you did make your bed so you get a star for that... " and so on. Make sure you follow through with rewards, that is key.

ignore the bad behavior and pay attention to the good. Most time kids act up at this age cause they need atteention

Give him up for adoption. If you have not learned how to discipline a child in five years, you don't need to be a parent.

When your son or daughter misbehaves, punish them. I never acted out as a kid because I was afraid of what my mom or dad would do.
