Positive discipline strategies for every family

 

1. Ask WHY your child misbehaved and when we know why, we can get an idea of what we need to do so it doesn’t happen over and over again. 2. What is the lesson I want my child to learn here? (the whole point of discipline is to teach-that’s what it means). 3. What is the most effective way to teach that lesson? Tina Payne Bryson, PhD

 

1. Punishment means “hurt” but discipline to instruct and help. Don’t expect more than they can do developmentally!

2. Talk as a family about expectation and rules and why these are important (your family values) so they understand the reason for the rules and get their input and buy in so they’re less likely to resist

3. Give transition or time warnings. Give them gentle reminders. Touch them softly, look them in the eye, talk softly. 

4. Remember that everyone has bad days. They’re still learning. Wait until later if that is when teaching and instructing will be more effective then. (then explore: see it through their eyes and listen, explain: review the rule and ask them why was have that rule in our family, and empower: recap by showing empathy, reminding them of what they said about why we have the rule, and then ask what do you think we should do to find a solution. They practice being responsible. Do this one on one. Important learning happens when you come back to it, so come back to it. Also, tell them that you’ll try what you both discuss, but then say it doesn’t happen, then as the adult, you’ll need to intervene when they’re not complying)

-Dr. Justin Coulson (positive discipline strategies)

This creates more trust, a stronger relationship, and they’re more likely to listen to your guidance. It will create a happier and more peaceful family life, and a more fulfilling one.
