Punishment for a 3 yr old

mate best thing to do is keep taking him bk and one he stay there for him ful time get down to his high and tell him why you put him there and then get him to say sorry and then give him a hug and tell him that you love him hope this help

I had the same problemwith my son I had him calm down first then took my cell phone set the alarm and told him when the phone beeped he could come out

yes I agree, if they dont cooperate you need to take something awaya from them, they need to earn the privelages and they need to learn that young, im a preschool teacher and this techinique is very effective, yelling or anything like that doesnt do a thing, you either need to make him stay in a corner like as in time out, and/or take away his toys/tv/music/games until he unerstands he needs to listen to you. and when he does listen you need to reward him, like he can watch tv for 10 mins longer, or he can play another game, so on, but be consitant wit his, dont give up until he understands!! good luck

he probably wants your attention, too. but I agree, take something away until he listens, then give something minor so that he/she works for the rest… my mom uses this on me so much >.<

when he comes off it TAKE HIM BACK.

he will give in eventually.

and say right, youve moved away, now youve lost your teddy, or right youve moved away again, now youve lost your digger set. so on

Well watch Supernanny… it has all you need to know about children misbehaving…

= )

make a time out corner or stair step and make them stay there for ten minutes, and if they don’t they can’t play with there toys for a day. im sory if this isnt good but I have no expirence with kids that young.

take toys away from him every time he mibehaves.

i agree with maureen. im actually a nanny for twin 3yr old girls. when you put them in time you HAVE to stick to it. now, i was raised a bit old school. i dont believe in beating your kids, however, a good ol’fashioned spanking never hurts when you’ve used all the other techniques. ppl can say what they want about it, but 3 yr olds are just learning limits and how to push them. they need to know that YOU are the adult and THEY are the child!!!!!! him listening to you when you say dont touch that is just as important as him listening when you tell him not to run out in the street!!! his safety is your number one goal and him not listening is absolutely unacceptable and he needs to know that. and the good thing about pulling out the spanking is that you usually only have to do it one good time. then, everytime he does what he did he will connect it to his getting a whippin.

oh and with the time out usage. when you put him there, try and break it down and explain to him in simple terms why you’re putting him there and if he understands. make him look at you too…dont let him wander. no talking, no moving, no nothing and if he does, start it over.
