I feel like a wimp because I have a hard time disciplining my child. How can I get better at giving a consequence for bad behavior?
Traditional Parenting: Plan ahead. Decide what type of consequence you will use for certain misbehaviors, ?then consistently use that consequence each time the misbehavior occurs. You could also write down the consequences and post them on the refrigerator as a reminder to you and your child. Love-Based Parenting: Discipline and consequences are not interchangeable terms. Discipline means to teach and consequences are specific behavioral interventions used to reinforce or diminish a behavior. Most of us arent given examples for how to teach our children in a way that doesnt involve consequences, which makes it confusing since the terms are often used together. We can best discipline our children by connecting with them through relationship, for it is through loving influence that our children learn from us the best.
