Effective Parenting: Discipline Without Punishment
Ranked #14,770 in Healthy Living, #229,369 overall
You've probably read somewhere that it's possible to discipline without punishment and you're thinking, but that can be effective parenting. How will my child learn if he's not punished? My son has to learn from his mistakes not to misbehave.
Well, you're partly right. Kids do have to learn from their mistakes. That's what guides them and teaches them not to repeat the behavior. If your child comes in too late at night, there must be some reaction from you or he will just continue to come in late. So you've got to set up something negative that will happen to him when he comes in late.
So then, how do you discipline without punishment? Well don't get me wrong, your child does have to have a negative reaction to his action, we're just going to make sure that the two are connected. In other words, there has to be a natural consequence to his misbehavior.
Losing his video games is a punishment because he doesn't connect this with coming home late. Coming home early the next night is a consequence because in his mind, he will associate the consequence with what he did wrong.
My video is free for all parents and I want you to take a look. This short video can be found at my website. It's the first step to applying discipline without punishment and putting you on the road to effective parenting.
