WAYS TO TEACH DISCIPLINE TO YOUR CHILD

Every parent wants to raise their child in the best way possible. Discipline is an important issue that families have difficulty with and sometimes parents disagree on.

Teaching discipline to a child is usually tried with the reward and punishment method. Parents are usually undecided about how to behave when their children do not behave as they want. Sometimes they overreact and give severe punishments, and sometimes they ignore the mistake and cover it up. It is necessary to emphasize that the subject should be approached with the awareness that violence is never, ever a method of teaching discipline.

So How is Discipline Provided?

Children want to learn an explanation of why rules are necessary. When parents teach their children rules, they must first agree and agree on how to implement them among themselves. The child experiences confusion as a result of seeing different reactions of the mother and father to an event. In order for the child not to experience this confusion, it will be enough for the mother and father to exhibit the same behavior. Otherwise, the child will use this as a trump card, will easily get what he wants done and will even try to expand his boundaries constantly. This is a situation that does not allow for discipline to be implemented.

In a family environment where parents should be role models, if there is no healthy and sufficient communication between the child and the child, it is not possible for the child to listen to the parents and cooperate.

It should not be forgotten that the consistency, determination and the discipline of the parents will be taken as a model by the child.

Giving your child responsibility is also an important factor in creating a family environment where discipline is experienced. Including him when planning the day will make him feel important and will make it easier for him to follow the rules. Taking responsibility allows him to determine his own boundaries.

If you explain the rules to him, instead of a loud voice and angry expression, but with a more neutral (neutral, impartial) expression, the result will be more positive.

Explaining the rules to children with positive sentences will increase the number of acceptable behaviors. For example, instead of the imperative mood of "brush your teeth", "brushing your teeth will prevent decay".

Consistency between parents, making your child feel your trust, allowing him/her to make plans, and using positive body language will allow you to establish discipline in natural and enjoyable ways.
