children discipline

One of the parenting concerns and responsibility is to teach kids discipline. Is home appear a cluttered place or like a war zone when the children are out of control? With a little planning and a discipline structure, parents can work together as a team to bring peace to the home. Healthy or effective discipline don’t mean at all limiting your child freedom to express himself/herself and to be creative. 

Children begin often to learn about good and bad after their first 3 or 4 years. There are usually common values between parents that are coming from their own individual baggage from childhood. But it is very expected to have some difference or conflict in parenting style in some areas of child’s upbringing. Therefore, some cooperation may have to be made in order to present a coherent parenting style.


Set up the Rules 
Child misbehavior is impossible to prevent completely. Children, usually curious and endlessly creative, are likely to do things parents and other caregivers have not expected. As parents sharing the same concerns of co-parenting, you must find a time to sit down together and establish the house guidelines which could be constantly practical for the child. Use past incidents and experience of other successful parents to find solutions of problem behaviors of kids.  Try to take in consideration the child age and the balancing between his zone of freedom, independence and your limits.  

Set down with your child and talk to him/her about family rules
Tell him/her about the reason of setting a home system and the negative consequences of breaking it on the whole family and on himself/herself.  If your child has broken a low, you should remind them of the deal you have set together and try to give help to stop misbehaving by persuading, rewarding and motivating.  But if he/she continues misbehaving, you may relate the breaking of rules by an appropriate sanction consequence, but no physical treatment; family specialists agree that using physical force, threats and put-downs can interfere with a child's healthy development.
