what they seeSetting limits: Telling kids what not to do or
the correct way of doing things.Positive reinforcement: Sometimes reward
the kids for the things that you see them do right and don’t just always scold them for the things they do wrong. However, do not praise them for everything!
Unintentional Misbehavior should not be punishedDropping a glass of milk that was
too heavy.Wasting food on their clothes
Use Punishment EffectivelyWhen using punishment, make
sure the child knows what they are getting punished for.
Natural consequences If a child loses something don’t replace it if it was a
privilege to have it in the first place Logical consequences
Used when natural consequences don’t fit Coloring on a table; taking the crayons away
Loss of privileges Loss of playtime, television time, etc. Usually for children 5 and older
Time out Gives the children a chance to calm down and gain
self-control Exaggerating the consequences
Such as if the child doesn’t behave you are going to leave them.
Being consistent is the main thing in guidance.
Children lose trust and confidence in caregivers who often change rules
Also becomes an issue when more than one person cares for the child Make sure that both parents agree on
an appropriate punishment and different behaviors a child should exhibit.
Bribing Giving kids something so that they will stop
misbehaving. Candy, toys in the store, etc. Making children promise to behave
Sometimes makes children lie so they don’t disappoint their parents
Shouting or yelling Usually frightens the children and a lot of time
has no effect whatsoever. Shaming or belittling
Lowers their self esteem
