EBN- When you hear the word discipline in the context of child, you imagine yelling at out-of-control kids. There is a lot of debate about the approach to “disciplining child.”
While there is a subtle difference between trying to discipline children and instilling a value and appreciation for a disciplined lifestyle, discipline is often seen as a harsh word.
So follow this approach:
When you discipline your child, tell him how to behave, set limits, and teach him what is right and wrong behavior for a child and what is unacceptable.
Make discipline a way of life, make the most of the day, and make your child stick to their wake-up and bedtime schedules. Being punctual and appreciating other people’s time is often considered normal.
Give your child at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep to be more alert. Children who get enough rest are better able to tune in to their feelings and are less likely to have tantrums.
Make discipline in eating habits, this creates physically strong and healthy children, and also plays a vital role in their overall development.
Try to stick to healthy meals at set times, leaving room for negotiation. While a slight deviation from daily life teaches children resilience, a completely disrupted lifestyle tends to leave them feeling insecure.
Make it their responsibility to keep track of their school activities and schedules, make sure they finish their homework, and help them when they need help.
Remind them them to make sure they find their things in the designated places in the morning. Don’t rush to help them with chores that they can do at different ages. Children who go to school need to learn that the basic step to living an independent life is self-reliance.
Instill in your child the saying, “If you value time, time will value you.” Children need to learn the difference between right and wrong, and as parents or guardians, they expect us to lead the way by practicing what we preach.
To be an authority in your child’s life, you have to stick to your word. Try your best to stick to a structured daily routine. Sometimes situations may not be as we expect, but making the most of a negative situation with a positive mindset is the foundation of a balanced life.
Teach them to confront negative influences once they venture out on their own, and the ability to think logically helps distinguish between good and bad habits. Just introduce a simple set of rules into children’s happy, carefree daily lives . Rules that over time turn into habits that enhance their overall quality of life.
Explain to your child that “time lost never comes back.” Starting with the basics, children tend to thrive more if they live an organized life.
