I have found that the best way to manage my boys behavior (age 3 and 5) is through positive reinforcement. I use a sticker behavior chart that I created myself and it works like magic! I list things like sharing, no back talk, picking up toys, no whining, etc. At the end of the day, we go through their chart, and they receive a sticker for each thing they did well that day. If they didn't we would discuss why they would not be receiving a sticker. They really were upset at first when they didn't get the sticker, but after a few days, they made the correlation between sticker and behavior and were working hard on improving their behavior.

Many parents let their children have candy rewards, but my 5-year-old has juvenile diabetes, so obviously we don't do these rewards. I give them a nickel (5 cents) for each sticker. On Sunday, they get the money for their piggy banks for each sticker they've received for the week before. My boys save up for Power Rangers - they get so excited to take their piggy banks to the store and to get their rewards!!

Good luck and I hope this helps!

•Do not shout at the child, you should go down to the child’s level and talk to them in a low, calm voice, talk about what the child did wrong. This will make the child understand you more, and be less resentful towards you.
•Praise the child when they do something. When the child does something positive, such as reading a book or trying to read a book. You should praise the child, so the child is encouraged to carry on reading.


•Be consistent with your child. By trying to enforce good behaviour you may feel like the bad guy but remember that empty threats will not convince either you or your child, follow with threats with action.

•When the child does not do as you say, always remember giving consequences for their action needs to be backed up by your words. If you don’t tell the child what they have done wrong, the child won’t know the difference between what’s wrong. Go down to the child’s level, and tell them why you punished them. If you tell them what they have done wrong, they will know next time, they should not misbehave or else they will be punished.


•Make a timetable, when the child knows what is next on the timetable, they will know what to look forward to when the timetable is made. Such as, 2.00pm playing an activity (puzzle, painting). This will make the child improve their behaviour and bond with their parent or parents.

•Making a reward chart will build improve the child’s behaviour and make them excited when they are rewarded for something positive they have done.


•Setting a bed time routine helps a child understand when its bedtime, their will be less fuss or the child refusing to got o bed. If the child did not have a routine, the child would want to stay up because they don’t want to miss anything. The routine should be calm and gentle. Such as 6.30pm the child will have a bath, this helps the child to relax. At 7pm reading a short bedtime story will make bedtime more enjoyable for the child and the parent.

•If the child has play time with some activities with their parents, such as reading or painting their behaviour may improve.


•Distract the child from something their doing wrong by distracting with an activity such as reading or if the child see’s an ice cream van and starts shouting and screaming, and then distract them with the clouds. Such as ‘oh look, doesn’t that cloud look like a bunny?’

Depends on age and what they have done.
Time outs work when they are younger

you could take away tv time, candy or treats, send them to bed early. Deduct pocket money. If they keep being naughty like they wont stop talking back then make the punishment lager and larger until they stop doing what ever it is they were doing, like say they keep shouting take $1 or .50c off they pocket money untill the decide to stop.

If they are really bad then cancel a sleepover/play-day.

Don't be ridiculous with punishing them, the old saying "they will thank me when they are older" actually does go out the door. If your over the top they will stop taking you seriously and starting doing what they want.

It depends on the age for one. But first you have to set the ground rules for inappropriate behavior and stick to them every time. There must be a punishment to fit the crime-time outs, grounding, taking away privileges. The child must recognize who is in charge. Get more involved in your child's day. Reward him/her by doing a special project or go somewhere special or hang out just the 2 of you. There has to be a balance. Reward and punishment. But don't give in, that is a weakness and kids are pretty good about picking up on that. Your spouse too must follow the rules pertaining to your child. You both have to be strong-you're in control.

a million. Be sympathetic. attempt to comprehend the reason at the back of such behaviour. Any sort of punishment can in basic terms make the area worse, if the actual subject isn't solved appropriate. 2. Be organization, yet gentle. now and returned too lots of self-discipline makes the newborn (or person student) rebellious and which will bring about extra advantageous disruptions. 3. Counselling. If all fails, communicate to the student and if it is too intense to deal with, communicate to the mum and dad and deliver him/her to a expert councillor.

I use time out. Spanking just doesnt work for my daughter she doesnt care about it. You can also try taking away cartoon time, computer time, special toys. It just depends on the child and what works for you and them. Good luck!!

I am a mother of three children under six. I am currently reading a book by Dr. Becky Baily theres got to be a better way discipline that works and Conscious Discipline. In her audio cd, 10 principles of positive discipline, she states: #1 Understand temperment traits. what type of child do you have? Know your child's personality. (more on temperment, Recommend book, Raising your spireted child by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka) #2 knowledge of how children develop. What is normal and abnormal child behavior. #3Hold adult accountable for being good modles (actions speak louder than words!) #4 Adults maintain self control. Lack of self control in adults is lack in self esteem in children. #5 See from a child's point of view. #6 Clearly and assertively communicate to children what we want and expect them to do. The first 5 to 6 years children function better and learn responsibility by structuring the environment. You do this by providing a schedule and routines. Schedules teaches children to predict what is going to happen next. Helping them to feel safe and secure. Routines help children what to do and what is expected of them and teaches them to be responsible. For example if you are trying to teach your child to be responsible to get ready in the morning with out having to remind him what to do every day. You teach him a routine through picture cards of him doing what he is to do in the morning before he goes to school. (Picture cards are appropriate for children under six because at this age, according to Dr. Becky Baily ,children don't have mental picture or inner speach like adults do to organize themselve.) This is why children under six or even seven (depending on development), speak out loud when they play. By doing this you can avoid frustration for both child and parent. Dr. Becky Baily teaches positive discipline versus negative discipline like time out (isolation), getting angry, spanking, yelling, taking toys away by using threats. She teaches children to be responsible by using logical and natural consequences and giving them choices. This teaches children to see their behavior and how it effects people, objects and the environment which ever is the case. When you punish you are unconsciously teaching the child to lie and be sneakier. His ultimate goal is to find a way to get away with it so he wont get "in trouble" . Children misbehave so we could guide them. In other words it part of a childs development to misbehave. We need to look at misbehavior as a teaching opportunity.

My kids get sent to their rooms for "quiet time." We all get a break that way.
