Which is the best way to punish your child when he/she misbehaves?

How does violence (anything that causes pain is violence) help to alleviate the problem of him being violent. The stand in corner or the time out chair is the best way to punish a child. You just need to do it right. For the right amount of time and everytime he doesn’t behave while sitting in the chair the time re starts. Then after the allotted time is up you ask them why they got put in the corner/chair. If they answer wrong or with a smartass remark they stay in the chair an additional alloted time. Then ask again until they get it right and not in a smartass tone.

Once they answer it right you then ask What have you learned? And they need to let you know for example “Hitting my 3y/o sister is wrong and I won;t do it again” Then you thank them, ask them not to do it again and give them a hug.

If they do anything else do the smae thing.

You mut ignore them but also make sure they are sitting on the chair or standing in corner and not having fun.

Trust me, the stand in the corner and time out sh*t don’t work. My parents beat my a$$ when I misbehave and it works.

Merriemac you are a grown up now. Yes corporal punishment is more effective in the older children who were not raised from a young age to respect their parents. The respect comes from the use of the corner or time out chair.

Corporal Punishment for a child does nothing. You (the person your child learns from) are telling your child not to hit a sibling by hitting them.

A child does not have the mental capability to understand the difference and in turn creates a child who is more likely to be violent. You teach them at a young age and they grow up and respect you and listen to you when you tell them NO!.

zudano I totally agree with you my dad use to always hit me thats why I wouldn’t dare do it to my son.

Merriemac what are you teaching them when you smack them and tell them its naughty to do it, your confuse them they do learn from us adults your teaching them violence, and even thou your saying its naughty at the same time your saying its ok. This is why me and my sons dad never got on thats thats the way he deals with problems.

One thing I’ve always found to be helpful is to talk to the child. You’re telling him what he did wrong and I think that it’s important to do so, but I think that finding out WHY he’s doing it is also important so that you can work on it. By communicating with him you can learn what it is that’s upsetting him so much. If needed, you can also reassure him that you love him and that neither of these people will take you away from him or replace him. (This may be something he’s scared of, I’m not sure. But we ALL need reassurance sometimes.)

I agree fully with zudano,my dad hit us when we were younger and it didn’t help a thing, in fact because of that he and my brother has a bad relationship.

Like zudano posted in her first comment, you need to follow through on discipline and persist, no matter what. Never give up on his time cause you feel sorry for him and also do try to talk to him or ask him how he is feeling (not while he is getting punished though).
