Re: Disciplining Children
^ok just remember to Praise good behaviour and ignore wrong behaviour continue being consistent, also u and ur partner got to work together as a team in dealing with her behaviour(which can be the hard bit)....
plan activites with her, with the two of you, then gruadually stand back and let har play by her self. Give her small tasks e.g. give her a cloth and let her clean the kitchen cupboards, when u r in the kitchen. or give her a little pot with some lentils and a wodden spoon (remember this is a learning process for children, so try not to tell them off especially if they are under 2. if they make a mess dont make a fuss about it)
use positive words e.g.
use "be kind" instead of no hitting"
"walk" instead of "no running"
"lookafter ur toys" instead of "dont throw ur toys"
reason being Children only remember the last words that are being said to them so if u tell a child "no running" in most cases they will contiue running, coz they have heared the word "running" last...
