Random Tips

• Learn to say "no" in a firm, peaceful way that carries authority but not anger.

• Stay with your child when they are in "time out" so that they don't feel abandoned. Many parents leave the area, which can make a child feel rejected.

• Follow through, no matter what, if you say that there will be a consequence for misbehaving so that your child does not learn to manipulate you.

• Pick one or two target behaviors to focus your discipline on at a time. It is usually more effective to completely train your child in one or two areas than to try to train them a little bit in many different areas.

• Be the boss and don't be ashamed of being the boss in your relationship with your child.

• Discipline your child in your loving, caring environment. Otherwise, they may learn discipline from frustrated teachers in the less caring and loving environment of school.

• Present you child with small choices if you are in a lot of power struggles with your child.

• Remember that consistent discipline is a safety issue. There will be times that your child's obedience to your input can save them from danger.

• Do not feel obligated to explain your rationale for the things that you ask of your child every time that you ask something of them.

• Focus on "first time" obedience. Your child is old enough to learn this concept.
