✨How to discipline kids without crushing their hearts? Here are some strategies. ✨
👉Set Limits
Setting limits is essential for kids to learn about the consequences of their behavior.In positive parenting, we set limits and definitely take action if kids push the limits.
👉Talk Less, Do More
We talk and talk and talk and do very less. We used to tell kids, “It’s your last chance, I will not let it happen again” and “You only have ten minutes, after that, I will take the remote away”,
But do we really act on our words? No! No wonder kids don’t take us seriously.In positive disciplining, we set limits and act on them when the limits are crossed. No more chances. We stay stern.
👉Offer Choices
Offering choices is another positive discipline technique that works well to avoid power struggles, especially with young kids.
👉Create A Yes Environment
Kids don’t like to be controlled. Have you ever noticed how kids tend to do more of what they are told “not to do?” When we say no, they show more resistance and try to exert power. And let’s face it, always hearing no is tiring for us too.
👉 Instead Of Yelling, Use A Firm Voice
When you are being kind and firm, your message reaches your child. Yelling can never deliver your message because your child does not feel understood and he is listening to you standing in a place of fear.
👉Stay Consistent
Being consistent with your expectations helps kids to obey the rules better.
👉Reduce The Need Of Control
Disciplining becomes hard when you find the need to control kids. There is a limit to your energy as well. If the atmosphere is set up for failure, it gets hard to be consistent.
👉Enforce Consequences
Here, the consequence is something both parties agreed on, and therefore it doesn’t come across as punishment. The child learns to pay for his misbehaviors and becomes more responsible.
👉Talk At Your Child's Level
The best way to get a child’s attention is by getting down at his level and looking into his eye. Since you are standing close to them, you don’t have to yell. The child feels safer and more connected to you. And therefore you get a better response.
👉Make Them Feel Heard And Label Their Emotion
Human beings have an innate need to be heard. Imagine when you have difficult feelings inside you and no one around you is willing to listen to you. When they feel heard, they feel connected and get a sense of belonging.
