What is the best way to discipline your kids?

3 yr old granddaughter is a real handful...defiant, hits, talks back. Best way to discipline kids like this?

  • Answer:

    Stay calm and stay firm.....Make sure she knows the rules every time your with her......Before you go out and when she arrives at your house clearly state the rules. eg. In this house we talk nicely to people, there is no hitting or fighting blah blah blah then state the consequences such as........time out for breaking rules........but remember she is 3 this is pretty typical of a 3 y.o. I dunno where they got terrible twos from I think 3 is alot harder

For talking back, you could dab a little white vinegar on a cotton ball and dot it on her tongue (better than the old "wash your mouth out with soap").For hitting you could sit her down on the floor on her hands.Always speak firmly to your child...but it isn't necessary to yell.Persistence is important as they will keep testing you.When they finally see they don't get the attention they want, they tend to stop the behavior. Then, when they act appropriately, really praise them loudly, over and over.

MAYBE THE SAME WAY YOU DISCIPLINED HER PARENT OR A GOOD OLD FASHION SPANKING IS ALSO VERY EFFECTIVE IF IT IS ALRIGHT WITH BOTH PARENTS AND YOU ARE NOT OUT OF CONTROL.

PLEASE

Count to five...then time out. She'll soon stop before you get to five. Good luck!

consistancy, following up on discipline, being firm, do not threaten over and over, tell her something once and if she does not listen, follow through with whatever punishment you feel is adequate.
