It is impossible to raise a child as a serious, responsible person without applying punishment for misconduct. Remember, by punishing your child, you show love and care for him. What is the right way to punish a child?
Rules
1. First you need to cope with your emotions to avoid yelling and insults. You should calmly explain to your child what you are punishing him for. Calm, strict tone, more effective way.
2. If the kid has committed an offense in public, do not scold him and punish him in front of witnesses, this can cause a protest and backlash. Discuss bad behavior in private.
3. To punish a small child correctly right after the deed, because the children have not yet formed a stable concept of time, they quickly forget about what is happening. If you punish a child after a while, he may perceive your actions as an unfair attitude towards him.
4. It is very important to clearly explain to the child the reason for the punishment, without becoming personal. Criticize the act, not the child, do not call the baby names, do not hang labels. He must realize his guilt, think about how badly he acted, and not about the fact that he is a bad child.
5. Set clear terms for punishment, for example, screaming in your hearts that you will never give something wrong again. This is an impracticable promise, after some time you yourself will treat those to the baby with a treat, forgetting about the threats, and the child will not take your words seriously.
Methods
1. "Correctional labor". All kinds of housework instead of rest and play. Washing windows, dishes, folding things and so on.
2. Insulation. To reassure the child, to give an opportunity to reflect on their behavior. You can take him to a room where there are no people and toys.
3. Punishment by strangers. Children are more embarrassed when they hear criticism from a stranger. On a walk, you can ask a passerby to scold the child for bad behavior.
4. Limitation of pleasures. You can deprive your child of treats, prohibit watching TV, and cancel a trip to the zoo. It is better if the punishment is associated with a misdemeanor. If the child did not complete some task due to the fact that he played video games, temporarily forbid them to play them.
