When children are bad if you can't whip them and they don't listen to punishment then what is their left to do

Question

My sister's kids are the worst she refuses to whip them but they won't listen to anything she says and she tries to disapline them but yet they never listen.

Answer 1

Unfortunately the only REAL punishement is physical or take action in taking away what they most value! Such as toys, TV , video games.
That would be my first step and if that doesn't work then measurements of physical action will happen.
It's not the nicest but it's the most effective.

Answer 2

Discipline is about letting someone know they are wrong, and that they'll lose something over it. It may be as little as a star on a board , or the liberty to do what they want for a little while.

The real problem is backing up your words with deeds; threatening with a time out or no trip to the park/movies, but never making it come true does not provide any incentive for kids to behave.

Only discuss it with your sister when she starts it. It is rude to just start "helping" her raise her kids....

Answer 3

I've babysat plenty, and I have disciplined kids who haven't listened to me. It's the parents fault for not disciplining and staying consistant about it. I refuse to have a child run over me, hit me, cuss at me etc...I don't care who the parents are, I will discipline them. I've even told them after they've come home what I've done, I've never had any complaints =) You have to be firm about it since you're the sitter. If your sister doesn't do any of it, that's her issue, you know? That doesn't mean it's yours when you're there =) But some of my friends kids have gotten so bad that I won't sit for them anymore.

Answer 4

We take things away: privileges, games toys, phones, computers, TV time, whatever works. My daughter locked herself in her room and wouldn't come out when I told her to, now she doesn't have a door to her room. She'll get it back when I see that she has earned it. My son lied about having homework, I teach at his school. He came home and started playing Nintendo and ended up failing his science test, a math quiz and a history project. Now he doesn't have a television, game boy or Nintendo. Call me mean, but my kids are going to be punished for their misbehavior. I personally believe in corporal punishment, but my wife does not, so we found alternatives and they work well.

Answer 5

When you have bad kids like that, you have to punish them by taking away something that they want, or giving them a time out. My neice is bad like that and spanking her has no affect on her. Suggest that your sister remove them from playing, or take a favorite toy that will affect the child's behavior.

Answer 6

I am not trying to be rude to your sister, but Bad children come from Bad parenting. She needs to figure out what she wants and go for it. If she wants to be lazy and not discipline her children then they are going to be a menace to society, but if she wants her children to change for the best, she needs to put her foot down right now and be consistent with the rules and punishments she puts in front of them.

Answer 7

I won't agree with those people who think shouting or give punishment to kids solve the problem, U should make them understand what is good and bad and that is only possible when your free with kids don't be rude with kids they only understand love

Answer 8

Ask Super Nanny. Try watching this TV show...it's very useful.

Answer 9

There is nothing you can do, their not your children. Your sister has to be consistant with what she says, time outs do work if done properly and consistantly!!

Answer 10

Call the Nanny!
