Gone are the days when dealing with naughty kids was a
headache for parents. In the smart age, there are many
smart ways with the help of which you can handle your
child in the best possible manner, and help them be a
disciplined individual.

Listed below are some of the child discipline methods
and techniques that you can try!
Being clear and consistent is important:
Your child is not a learned individual and will only
understand what is expected out of him or
her when you will state it. Have clear rules
and guidelines and make sure
that you follow them
consistently without any
exemptions.

Understand the core reasons of the actions
Your child may depict inappropriate behaviour due to
some reasons which might not be apparent but would
be disturbing them at the
ground level. Figure out the
core reasons of the actions that
a child does, and you might
get surprised that the problem is
altogether a different one!

Don’t get involved in power battles:
Several times you might feel that your child is indulging
in battles or fights with you
only with the purpose of
proving you wrong.
When that happens,
do not get involved in power battles, and
simply say that you are busy at the moment and will
talk to your child later when he or she would have
calmed down. This will give your child an impression
that their attempt to initiate power battles is futile and

they need to deal maturely to have important
discussions.
Recognize and praise good behaviour:
We are all hungry for genuine praises, and so are
children! Ignoring good behaviour is
something that is absolutely
wrong. Just like you cannot
ignore something your child does
wide of the mark, you should not
ignore an action which is worthy of
being praised and is commendable.

Depict that you are happy with the good behaviour of
your child by throwing hugs, high-fives or simply
clapping for your little one.
Keep your child motivated for conducting in the right
manner and they will try to get the praises with almost
everything that they do.
Never lose your calm:
No matter what happens, never lose your calm. As a
matter of fact, sometimes children even enjoy when the
elders lose their calm and eventually fall for their
tantrums. Thus, it is important that you keep calm and

stay in a good mood, irrespective of the mistake your
child might have done. Don’t lose your control and tell
them outrightly what wrong have they done and the
behaviour should not be repeated in future.
Keep your promises:
Children detest it when their parents do not keep the
promises they do. When this happens, then kids also
try to imitate their parents and do not keep their
promises by mirroring them.

This ultimately results in them
being fearless and not thinking
of the consequences that will
result in the event of them
doing something wrong and
not as per what they promised.
Going for time-outs:
Look for a boring place that has no distractions and
separate your child from their usual surroundings.
Don’t let them interact with anybody and ask them to

stay that way until you give the
instruction to stop the time out.
Don’t let them interact with
anybody and ask them to stay that
way until you give the instruction
to stop the time out. However, make it certain that the
place that you choose for time outs must not be a
dangerous one as your child’s safety is of paramount
importance. Tell your child clearly what have they done
wrong and ask them to go to the time out spot without
making any fuss.
