Discipline 

How to Discipline Children

"How to discipline children?" would be the question I am asked most often, usually by despairing parents at their wits end.  

It is often very difficult to see a way through deep seated behaviour problems such as refusal to eat, poor sleeping routines, temper tantrums, and stubborn refusals to co-operate.

 So how can we as parents control our toddlers when their behaviour problems have become acute?

Read a case study here that addresses this perplexing question.

Clear, firm, consistent parenting is quality parenting.


Be being consistent, you learn to trust your own responses and your children are surrounded by your loving constancy. 


Discipline ChildrenResponsive parents, who control young children with consistent, firm and clear guidelines, reflect their ability to make good choices in their own adult life.

These parents tend to show good self discipline in their own lifestyle and so for them, being consistent is a continuation of their normal attitude to life.

As parents we model behaviour for our children to follow. Disciplining our children is not about enforcing our will on them, breaking them, or punishing them into obedience.

Parents who realise this, control young children in a calm, clear and consistent way and reap the benefits of a warm, well adjusted and happy child and household.


How to be clear, firm and consistent

Ask yourself questions about how you as parents were disciplined as youngsters.

Sometimes the answers are quite surprising!

Parenting discipline -  through teaching for understanding, through setting limits and boundaries and through consequences creates children who are compassionate, empathetic and self aware.

When it comes to behaviour problems, it helps if you as parents have the courage to examine your own behaviour.

Often it is your own negative emotional response to events that creates negative behavioural reactions in your children.

 Read about rectifying and changing your own behaviour


It stands to reason that if a child repeatedly sees their mother or father act out of control, then they will copy and mimic this behaviour.
