I am not saying this as a joke but being serious. Have you ever seen the show Super Nanny? If so, then you need to call the show or go online and see if she can come and help you out. God Bless:) From my experience working with families and problem children, I have learned that good parenting leading to "good" children needs to start at a very early age. It is difficult and time consuming in the begining, but if you put in the time and effort from the start, the following years will be much easier, less stressful on you and the child(ren) and more enjoyable for all involved. I have found that the MOST important things are STUCTURE, CONSISTENCY, SELF-CONTROL and DISCIPLINE. MOST important is to understand that discipline DOES NOT include yelling, threatening OR hitting. You must clearly establish that you are the adult and in contol and they are the child and not the boss. The shortest and easiest way to explain this is actually quite simple. Good behavior gets verbal praise and "rewards", and "bad" (inappropriate) behavior does NOT get rewarded. People reading this may say "SURE", but suprisingly enough MANY parents DO NOT follow these simple guidelines. Use "spontaneous" positive verbal praise and rewards; don't ignore good behavior and only react to bad behavior. Act swiftly and firmly to bad behavior. One BIG asset is to use a calm, controlled voice; very matter of factly.(This can be VERY difficult, but it's very important.) Children learn very quickly and are very perceptive and smart. When a child misbehaves, it is very important not to give warning after warning after warning; or threat after threat: this makes it nothing but a joke. If, after a calm warning, a child does not comply, use what I call "spontaneous goodies". Simply, those who are acting appropriately (mom, dad, other kids,etc...) get a special treat. An ice cream cone, a trip to the Dollar Store, or any desireable. The innapropriate child does not get the "goodie". (SORRY!) Many people reading this will say "SURE!" The kid will have a meltdown and cry and scream. Deal with it once or twice or even three times and I guarantee the kid will learn very quickly and you will gain control (if done following the above guidelines) If not, eveyone will be miserable and you can look forward to crying, screaming, tantruming and more for the next 15 years. Do it right in the begining, bite the bullet and stay calm and in control and you will have many years of SMOOTH SAILING! (REALLY) I really hope someone out there actually tries this, finds how simple it really is, and has a happy, disciplined child and family!
