The secret to help children obey the rules

No one wants to be bad parents, but taking care of their children is not an easy thing. There is also no set standard for being a perfect parent. However, you can refer to the following to further improve your "skills" as a parent!

Punishment for you

You should make sure your baby knows that if he breaks any of the rules you set, there will always be penalties for him. Imposing penalties helps children recognize their bad behaviors and know they will not be accepted by you. For example, you could punish your child not to play with your favorite item if he does something wrong. Babies will have to find ways to change their behavior if they want to get their toys back. This helps babies to self-perceive wrong behaviors and change them. However, you should not do this as often as it can cause confusion for your baby.

Child penalty time

Have you ever made your baby stand on a separate corner of the house every time something is wrong? If so, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

- This penalty usually only works for children under 10 years old and you should not use it on children under 18 months old.

For 2-year-olds, the reasonable time for this penalty is 2 minutes and with each additional age you can add 1 minute to the total time.

- You should punish your baby to stand in a quiet place and away from daily activities. A quiet space can help babies feel more deeply about the mistakes they have made.

You should stay calm before giving any punishment to your child

How to praise your baby

Do you know "art" to praise your child yet? It is not just complimenting "everything" what your baby does is that you have to know selectively and give specific advice to your baby. When your baby does something right and is praised, he will feel much happier and try to do more of the right things. Instead of compliments, sometimes you should also give your baby kisses or cuddles as special prizes for his or her proper behavior.

Make rules

If you want to punish or praise your child, the first thing you need to do is to set rules . You need to teach your child what to do and what not to before making a mistake and applying the punishment to them. When your child gets it right, you can offer a compliment or a few small "awards". It is the same as if the baby does it wrong, there are punishments waiting for him.

You can make a “covenant” with your baby and stick them on the refrigerator or in visible places in the house. This is also a fun way for your baby to follow the rules set.

Consistency

Whatever parenting method you use, consistency is the key to success. The fact that you give your baby exceptions when doing something wrong will sometimes confuse your baby and may also make him "flinch" later. If you want to apply discipline with your children, consistency is one of the top factors!
