How do you disapline a really clever but naughty child.?

Answer 1

I find the best way to discipline any child is to firstly explain thing to them and make sure they understand,listen to what they have to say, and if necessary deny them their privaleges.sometimes when a child is above average intelligence they need more stimulation to avert boredom setting in, and misbehavior as a result.Personally i disagree with smacking children as it sends the wrong message.Grounding them,or banning them from their favourite activities, giving them time to think about their actions seems to work better.Good luck

Answer 2

It's hard to be helpful because you don't say how old the child is, what the 'naughty' deeds are, etc. Having said that though, if a child is bright but naughty perhaps s/he has some emotional issues that need attention. Is s/he the same way at school or just at home? What sort of disciplinarian are you? Are you supervising this child or are you absent from home a lot. Is it mischief or more serious? Perhaps if it's just mischief you should sit down with the child, have a serious talk about the sorts of things that you will not tolerate any more, outline what punishment you will dole out if such and such happens again, etc. Don't withhold love, don't physically abuse the child, do hold them to a higher standard. If you're unsure of how to do this then talk to a child psychologist and get some parenting ideas. If you've never had any parenting classes it's not too late to do so. Raising a child is a tough job (but a fun and wonderful one) and each child deserves to have the best start in life they can get - that means having rules and learning right from wrong - how to be a good citizen. A parent is the role model for the child - make sure your behavior is pristine too. If you do 'naughty' things then the child will follow for sure. Tell us more if these answers don't help.

Answer 3

Our Daughter is extremely intelligent and we were told by the examiners she is on genius level with many subjects, so discipline had to be well thought out. You don't say how old the child is, but from an early age (she's 16 now) we found the best thing was to sit her down and explain the consequences of their actions ie;if they break something that means Mummy & Daddy have to pay to replace it and that results in less money and therefore no new toys for 'Billy/Sally'..you get my drift, then next time they want something say no and remind them of what you said-that you have no money because they broke such a thing... Reasoning like that usually works, talk to them as intelligent human beings. It most definately works if done correctly (patiently & clearly explained), our kid is now the poster child for good behaviour and is a happy,healthy minded,respectful individual.

Answer 5

keep them stimulated with challenging activities as they are probably playing up because they are bored.try sending them to clubs like brownies,cubs,etc...try to find out why they are being naughty there may be some underlying reason and also keep calm when dealing with their inapproprate behaviour as the last thing you want is to be drawn into a slanging match with your child.remember you are the parent and have faith in your parenting abilities

Answer 6

What child likes to have their toys taken away.When my children were young,that worked like a charm.If they act like that doesn't phase them,restrict activities,no watching fav. show,no going outside,no playing games.And remember,stand firm.Most children know when they can push and get away with it.If the child throws a fit, walk away.Children are like actors,no audience and they won't perform.

Answer 8

Same as any other child - you use a punishment and reward system. Take away her TV, computer, Playstation access etc. Cut pocket money. Escort her to & from school.

Answer 9

easy, in really clever ways. Like don't take away their TV, but take away all the cords and plugs to it. Don't take away their game systems, but take away the controllers to it. Try things like this, get creative w/ it, and beat em at their clever lil game
