Remember, punishments are not the best way to educate children!
There are options where parents can educate and discipline children having much better results than with traditional punishments. Experts give us the following recommendations:
Make the penalty related to the problem
Before you take away your favorite toy, imagine that if you threw away your entire room, the penalty should be to leave everything clean and tidy. Or if you dropped a glass, the penalty will be to help clean and fix.
Anticipate and when he is doing something inappropriate, tell him first what the consequence is if something happens.
When he begins to be disobedient or misbehave, tell him before a problem occurs, what the penalty will be. That way it won’t be a surprise to him or her and you will learn about responsibilities and that not obeying has consequences.
After the storm, calm down!
After a bad behavior, a related sanction must come, but after having complied with it, show your love, it is the best way for you to understand that if you avoid it, there would be no difficult times, only love. Also, this way he will know that you did not stop loving him despite the anger and above all that he knows that you are proud of him.
Talking always relieves tensions
Communication is essential, so you should talk about the consequences before, but if they still occur and you must resort to a sanction, since everything has happened, talk about the experience so that it is a moment of learning.
