Do you remember that smile and happiness on your face
when you brought your little one from the hospital after
their birth? Do you still feel the same? Well, you surely do!
But if the troubles of handling the growing tantrums of
your child are overpowering your feelings of perceiving your
child as an innocent baby, then you must understand that
your child is still the same, but you need to learn the right
ways to handle their emotions.

Listed below are some child discipline methods that can help
you teach the right kind of behaviour to your child – just the
way you want!
When it comes to teaching your child the right behaviour, be
as clear as possible. Act as a friend and let your
child understand what is expected
from him or her. Set precise
directions and make sure your
child follows them all the
times.
It is important that you never
give in to the undue requests of
your child such as buying that latest
toy that their friend has got from the market or sending
them to a trip even though your pocket doesn’t permit. Be
an understanding parent and tell your child the behaviour
you expect from them.
Give clear directions

Step away from a bad situation if your child is not at all
willing to listen to your suggestions and is throwing temper
tantrums. Calm yourself down a
little and try to move away
from a developing power
struggle.
Take a break and stop
talking to your child for a
little while. Be neutral and
avoid drama. This will help your
child learn that they can’t really win by
creating scenes and indulging into fights, thinking these
tactics to be your weakness.
You can even try the point system as an effective child
discipline method. Give points to your child if he or she
shows good behaviour and deduct points if they show bad

behaviour. You can then trade the collected points for
rewards or can even link them with privileges like watching
television for an extra fifteen minutes on weekends.
However, it is also important that your child understands
why a certain sort of behaviour or reaction is good or bad,
and your kid should do the right behaviour because it is
ethical, and not just a way to collect points!
One of the methods of child
discipline is to give your kid
lots of appreciation and
praises when they do
something as per your
advice or the set rules.
When your child’s good
behaviour would not go unnoticed,
they will feel all the more motivated to follow the rules of
the house and be a good child – simply so that you can be
proud of them!
Praises can help too

If nothing else works, you may even try time outs. If your
child does something bad and does not change their
behaviour after constant warnings too, then you may ask
them to stay at a certain place for some time, and make it
sure that nobody is allowed to talk to your little one during
such a time.
The place, however, should be chosen carefully. It should not
be too scary or dangerous and you should be able to keep an
eye on your child to look at their activities.
This method should be tried with a child who is not too
young to get frightened and who understands the purpose of
time outs. When kids are made to stay away from their
parents, they might not repeat the behaviour that lead to
such a punishment.
