Disciplining A Child

When kids aren't behaving, moms have to learn how to discipline them. Disciplining a child is a hard thing to do. A mom has to set rules for the kids to follow to let them know that there are consequences when these rules are broken. A way a mom could discipline her child is by taking away some of the child's privileges. For example, when a teenager breaks their curfew, a mom could discipline the teenager by grounding the teen for a couple of weeks. She can also take away their allowances. By doing this the teenager will learn that they have to gain their mom's trust again and that they have to earn it back. It will probably also prevent them from doing it again. Another example is, if a child hasn't been listening at all, and then asked if they can have a snack; a mom can tell the child no. This will teach the child they don't deserve any snacks because of their behavior. Another way you could discipline a child is by putting them on time out. When a child acts out, a mom can put their child on time out by letting the child sit quietly on a chair, in a corner, and not letting them doing anything. Putting a child on time out will let the child calm down and help them realize why they are put on time out in the first place. A way a mom should not discipline her child is by the form of abuse. When you hit a child it does not teach them anything. Hitting a child only hurts the child and the child wouldn't learn or see what they are doing wrong or even know that they are being punished for something they did. Taking a kids privileges away because of their behavior will teach them that their mom is only trying to discipline them when they are doing something wrong. She does this by taking away their rights when they are not behaving. She is also teaching them that there are rules to be followed. When my son starts to cry because he want something that he can't have, I take him into the room with me and make him lay down in bed with me. I would tell him that there is no reason to cry and that because he is crying, he can't go outside and play until he learns how to not cry for things just because he wants it. He would cry for at least fifteen minutes until he realizes that it does nothing. When he stops, he asks me if he can go play and I would tell him no because of the way he was behaving. Taking away his playtime he won't be able to do anything, but just lay there in bed with me. I also take away the television time and his toys from. This teaches him that it’s a privilege and that he has to learn how to earn it back. There are plenty of ways a mom could discipline her child, but disciplining a child is not an easy job.
