I am often asked by my student's parents a question," How can I get my children to do the things I want them to do?"This is the an old problem of discipline, a matter not only of guiding children's behavior but of motivating it. The answer is based not in a catalog of behavior-controlling techniques but in the parent-child relationship itself. If you know your child well and are sensitive to his or her needs, so that he or she trusts you, the power to get him or her to behave well will come after naturally because your child wants to make you happy. In a nutshell, child discipline is more about having the right relationship between you and your child than it is about using the "right" techniques. One of goal in this website is to help you and your child become more sensitive person to each other. Let's start off with Day one Child Discipline Workshop ---- Know age-appropriate behavior.Many conflicts arise when parents expect children to think and behave like adults. You need to know what behavior is usual for a child at each stage of development in order to recognize true misbehavior. We find discipline to be much easier with our eighth child than it was with our first child, mainly because we now have a handle on which behaviors call for instruction, patience, and humor, and which demand a firm, corrective response. We tolerate those things that go along with a child's age and stage. Get inside your child's mind.Children don't think like adults, Kids try crazy things and think crazy thoughts--- at least by adult standards. You will drive yourself crazy if you judge a child's behavior from an adult viewpoint. A 2-year-old who runs out into the street isn't being defiant, he just wants his ball back. Action follows impulse, with no thought in between. a 5-year-old likes her friend's toy so much that she "borrows" it. An adult may stop and weigh the necessity, safety, and morality of an act, but a young child doesn't. Throughout this "parenting guide" in this website, you can understand what causes your child's behavior and figure out how to redirect it.
