How to discipline your child

Does this make sense to you parents who’ve been through this? My kid hasn’t quite entered tantrum territory yet and I’m dreading the inevitable so I’m wondering how well this approach would work: for mom + baby / The Child Whisperer

I’m dealing with my 6 year old in a very different way than I dealt with my 10 year old. They are so different in personalities and what works with them.

Well when exactly do you start all that? i try my best to stay calm during her tantrums but she’s just so ziddi! just yesterday, my MIL asked why on earth my 2 year old was screaming and crying to the extent where she was short on breath… the reason was i forced her to wear her clothes! she wants to run around the house with nothing more then a diaper and i dont allow it because its getting a bit chillish here. And this isn’t the first time she’s done this… i even allow her to pick her own clothes to get her involved, but she’d rather stay naked! bongi bachi.

She’s also getting to the stage where she pushes and hits (even though we’ve rarely given her any physical punishment, and if so its a light slap on the hand)… she’s pushed her Daadi twice! how very very rude! i’ve tried explaining, i’ve tried to praise her like crazy when she does something good but these days it seems like a loosing battle :bummer:

does her personality fit any of the models in the chart? because i think you can start using those techniques the minute they start acting out.

My kid is a mixture of 1 and 3 and I do have to be on my toes, and usually what they have written helps me. And because I’m the disciplinarian I am not liked very much. But I am trying to understand him while trying to help him become a well mannered child
