Parental Discipline Made Easy
When it comes to the subject of parental discipline - be aware
, this may be a very touchy subject. The majority of teachers will tell you that it is a significant role of the parent to discipline the child yet if you approach this subject with many parents, they disagree. They will merely say that is why they are sending them to school so they can get a good education and teaching manners is part of that. It can feel as if you are up against a wall when you try to speak with somebody who thinks like this.
It is more than a test to guide a parent to promote and model effective discipline behaviors if they refuse to believe that they even need them. It makes you wonder who has been caring for the child before they started school and how. Not having the knowledge is no excuse for a parent not to provide a healthy and nurturing foundation for his/her child. A parent must play a key role as an active participant in his child's everyday life and his routines.
The type of discipline should be based on the age, development and temperament of a child. A parent would or should know this better than anyone else. Once everyone is on the same page, you will see a pleasing difference in the child's behavior. A reinforcement of desired behaviors will reduce the negative behaviors and consequently lower the need for any discipline. Many parents resort to hitting even though this has been proven ineffective and often causes other potentially detrimental behavior.
They spank because that is probably what happened when they were a child and had parental discipline. Many parents fall back on dishing out the discipline that they received when they were a child rather than to take the time in getting to know their children and establishing a communication link with them. Parents must be aware that it is their responsibility to protect their child from danger and potential hazards. Improper or ineffective discipline falls in the category of child discipline abuse.
Communication and reasoning do not happen overnight. This is something to develop every day. A parent must be aware of or acquire the skills to communicate in a supportive and positive style with their children on a daily basis. Take the time to use back up strategies that are encouraging. This will groom the child for more desired behaviors are in their best interest. You must get to the heart of the matter rather than just inflict a quick punishment for the problem at hand.
Having a special time each day with your child can help in the parental discipline. Listen to your child when he speaks and help them to find outlets to express their feelings. If something does happen that is inappropriate, be calm, clear and consistent. Tell them instantly what the circumstances are and what the results of this action will be. Be firm and strong in explaining and providing the reason.
