HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div
It is especially important that we discipline our children with love. Never call them out of their name. Constantly Yelling and screaming at them does not work. This will not result in making them feel loved. If You have done so. REPENT! Make a change. Apologize and get better by moving forward and communicating with them more effectively. Being older does not give you the right to disrespect them or anyone else for that matter. How would You like to be screamed at? Without proper discipline they will not respect you, others, or themselves.
If You want Your child to become responsible and productive You must teach them proper healthy boundaries. You must model it Yourself. There are times when a rare occasional smack on the backside is warranted. But reserve this for times when improper behaviour is extreme. The idea is to discipline not to punish. The objective is You want to help them learn self-discipline, not violence. This is to let the child know they have gone too far and gone beyond the limits.
Talking to Your child and explaining why he or she is being disciplined is important. Age-appropriate Time Out” is a good option as well. I suggest around (2) two to (3) three minutes per year. For instance, for a 2-year-old d to sit still for 4-5 minutes take them out of their comfort zone. You can use a timer. When the timer goes off ask them if they are ready to behave. If not have them repeat their time. Of course, You let them know that they are responsible for having to do “Time Out!** There are times when they need to learn how to be still and think about their behaviour. Depending on the child, just sitting still alone in Your view of course for a few minutes can make an impact. It interrupts whatever it is they want to do and readily allows them to feel the consequence. Most of the time You can resolve the issue just by talking with them. Discipline should always be age appropriate.
Beating a child is always out of order. This is really a byproduct of slavery. Abuse of any kind is totally unacceptable. if this is a part of Your culture, ask yourself if has it really worked for you. When You properly discipline a child, they will not be harmed in any way. Although unpleasant at the moment, this will later help them feel secure emotionally as well. This serves as a reminder that this particular action resulted in a drastic measure and the behaviour was unacceptable. A tap on the hand can also be effective. Always keep in mind You want to discipline any inappropriate behaviour readily and consistently. Discipline is an important part of proper parenting. “Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.”
