The Art Of Discipline

Kids have a tendency to act up for a many reasons none of which should be taken personally. Many times even a child who is normally supportive may have time when he or she cannot meet your exact expectations. The may be due to the fact that he may be tired or that he may not feeling well or may just be reacting to an even that upset him or may just be coping with some adjustment in his life. A number of times children have a tendency of misbehaving due to the fact they fully do not understand or fully realize what is expected of them. This is markedly true typically when they come face to face with new and unfamiliar situations, such as visiting a new place. Since they are trying all their best to ‘act mature’, children will typically point fingers when they misbehave so as to blame another person. This is may not be so much to try and avoid being disciplined as to shield good and positive feelings regarding themselves.

As a child gradually gets older and moves from age two to five, they will highly unlikely to blame their naughtiness to a nonexistent “other” person. By the time children reach nursery school or preschool ages, they will consciously know when they acted badly or when they did not. Obviously as with any child, they may deny their naughty actions. Even though they deny, they consciously and sub consciously know that they did not intend to do it and hence should be in trouble for it.
Many children who are in the ages brackets of 4 and 5 typically claim that any bad thing they did was not as a result of forethought. In other words, they did not plan to do it. If this is the case, you should react to your child by talking to them and letting them know the rules and regulations and also telling them that they would face punishment if they repeat it again.

A very important aspect of discipline is the fact that just because a discipline strategy worked for one child does not necessarily mean that it can work for a different child. All children are uniquely different. Children’s personalities have to be respected when it comes to conduct. As a result your disciple strategy has to be tailored to each child’s unique personality. A child who may be a little laid back may just need a couple of few reminders. A child who may have trouble transitioning from one event to another may just need some time to adjust from her prior activity before she starts the new activity. If you have a child who is strong willed, the best strategy is to be more creative in disciplining.

The bottom line is that you need to ensure that the way you discipline and chastise your child is effective in correcting the behavior. It should not be overbearing to the child. It should just be perfect. Enforcing overbearing discipline will have the negative effect of making them feel unloved and uncared for. Having the right type of discipline strategy will ensure that the misbehavior is corrected and at the same time not leave them with negative feelings.
