Let’s face it: Discipline isn’t fun, especially when it’s your child who doesn’t completely understand what’s right and wrong just yet. Most of the time, your little can’t do any wrong in your eyes. But sometimes they have those temper tantrums in Target that you really can not condone. Here are a few tips when disciplining your child:
A Lesson Learned
There will be a valuable lesson that comes out of discipline. Your child needs to understand what they did wrong, so it’s important to sit down with them once they’ve cooled down and discuss what exactly went wrong. This will give your child a chance to understand their mistakes and will give them the opportunity to grow from there.
Time to Cool Down
Give your kiddo some time to wipe the tears away before you start having a chat with them about what they did wrong. You need to give him or her some alone time to reflect on how they reacted to the particular situation. Talking to them immediately might result in more tears and tension, so it is best to wait about 15-20 minutes for their emotions to settle. No need to make the situation worse by trying to solve the conflict right away.
Keep it Consistent
Make sure you are not confusing your child when it comes to discipline. If your child does the same mistake multiple times, then you need to correct them every time this happens. Your preschooler will not understand the difference between right and wrong if you don’t discipline them consistently. If you respond the same way, then it’s more likely that they will learn a lesson!
Disciplining isn’t easy, but hopefully these tips will result in a happier time!
