rom a parenting perspective, it is very important to counter- Fact what our children are exposed to with lessons of exerting will over want. Recently my daugh- ter made a promise to not eat any meat for a period of five weeks. She’s not that type, and enjoys poultry, beef, and pork as much as anyone could. Yet, for five weeks she kept her promise despite many tempta- tions to break her vow. What a tes- timony to her self-discipline that at such a young age she was able to learn this valuable lesson We want our children to learn from their mistakes and not repeat them. So the natural thought is to send them to the “time out” corner or up to their room to “think about what they’ve done.” Except they don’t. And they’re likely to keep up the same behaviours despite the punishment. So, how do you know how to discipline your child? Making children learn how to behave appropriately is discipline. You can use a range of discipline strategies to teach your child the basics of good behaviour. The strate- gies you choose will depend on your child’s age. Organised and consistent struc- ture breeds discipline. For example, by setting a designated time for homework to be completed each day, the routine will become a nat- ural habit. There will not be notes coming home about incomplete assignments. The most efficient time is right after they arrive home from school before the distractions start. Too much harsh, negative dis- cipline, and not enough praise and rewards, might get children behav- ing well, but out of fear. This can lead to problems with children’s self- esteem and anxiety later in life. Children learn by watching what you do. Showing your child the behaviour you like by doing it yourself will help your child learn. For example, if you want your child to sit down to eat, sitting down together to eat family meals can help children learn this behaviour. Praise is when you tell your child what you like about him or his behaviour. When your child gets praise for behaving well, he’s likely to want to keep behaving well. Keep promises and stick to agreements. When you follow through on your promises, good or bad, your child learns to trust and respect you. So when you promise to go for a walk after she picks up her toys, make sure you have your walking shoes handy. When you say you will leave the library if she does- n’t stop running around, be prepared to leave straight away. No need to make a fuss about it – the more mat- ter of fact, the better. This helps your child feel more secure, because it creates a consistent and predictable environment. Reduce temptation. Your glass- es look like so much fun to play with it’s hard for children to remember not to touch. Reduce the chance for innocent but costly exploration by keeping that stuff out of sight. Before you get involved in any- thing your child is doing especial- ly to say ‘no’ or ‘stop’ ask yourself if Keep it simple and positive.
