What is the best way to discipline your child?
In order for most kids to learn and grow up knowing what is wrong to right, discipline is a must. The main issue here is how most parents choose to use that discipline in punishing their children. Some prefer punishments which don't involve raising a hand on their child, but others rather raise a hand on their child in order to get their point across.Usually this has to have an influence on how most parents were raised themselves, but will this help in disciplining a child? Some parents need to find other alternatives other than hitting, abusing, or spanking their children.

Answered None of the above
ALL OF THE ABOVE. I think different circumstances call for different punishments. I can say that I have probably used all of the above at one time or another, partly because 1 form didn't work so we had to find out what our children respond to best. For us threatening and spanking are a last resort but sometimes it is needed. Of course I probably feel that way because I was spanked as a child, and with more than a hand. Also I think the thing to remember is that when a child misbehaves the most important thing a parent can do is be consist with "expressing" to the child that the behavior will not be allowed. If you address it sometimes and ignore it sometimes that sends the wrong message. -

Then if that doesn't seem to work, depending on their age. tre the 1.....2.....3....
that's it you're getting a spanking and put into your room to lay on your bed, not to play... And do it!!! Pete and repeat and be firm and tough! And above all don't let your guilty feelings show. All of us as parents hate to disappoint our kids and make them cry. Remember you're doing it for them...Rember the saying "i loved you enough to tell you no. Even though I knew you would hate me for it!!

Well If there was a RIGHT answer then all of our children would be perfectly behaved, I try my best I dont reward bad behavior and I dont ignore it either I punish her to her room or from doing thing's she like's, My daughter is only 8 so right now it's pretty simple do as I say or no swimming and she's quick to listen and she is pretty well behaved.... I reward great behavior as well I spend alot of time at the toy store!!
