How can you provide discipline to
your child so that he or she can function well at home and in public? Every parent
wants their children to be happy, respectful and respected by others and able
to find their place in the world as well-behaved adults. Nobody wants to be
accused of raising a spoiled little monster. But sometimes it seems these goals
are miles away from your child’s current behavior.
Discipline is the process of
teaching your child what type of behavior is acceptable and what type is not
acceptable. Discipline may involve both punishments, such as time out, and more
importantly rewards. It sounds so straightforward, yet every parent become
frustrated at one time or another with issues surrounding children and
discipline.
Your responsibility as a parent
is to help your child become self-reliant, respectful and self-controlled.
Relatives, therapist, healthcare professionals and most importantly schools can
help in this matter. But the primary responsibility for discipline rests with
parents. The discipline technique you choose may depend may on the type of
inappropriate behavior your child displays, your child’s age, your child’s
temperament and parenting style. So you can try some of these methods to make
children listen to elders and first step in this is to reward good behavior.
Acknowledging good behavior is the best way to encourage your child to continue
it. Compliment your child when he/she shows the behavior you have been seeking.
Another method of dealing problem
child is to let them bare the natural consequences for whatever he/she has
done. When they do something wrong and you give them a lecture on that it might
not work. But instead if you let them experience the result they might never
repeat it. Logical consequence is another option but very similar to natural
consequence. Here you have to make children understand what will be the
aftereffects of unacceptable behavior. If we are not getting the ample time
talk about the consequences, the best possible way is takeaway some privileges
which are already given for good behavior. Other than all these some kind of
punishments can be given if required but we have to make sure that safety is
ensured.
In some cases teachers can do a
better job in making the child listen and behave properly. There are many schools in India who provide well trained
teachers who can influence the kids and make them understand right and wrong.
For example schools like Oakridge
international school in Hyderabad focus on the overall personality
development of the kids along with academics. They inspire students to develop
good behavior and manners as part of their life.
Making children listen to you
with an angry face is very task. But making them listen and understand is
difficult. So for that you have to create your own methods since every child
behave differently.
