How To Discipline Your Child.

Does your head hurt from constantly hearing the sounds of screaming? Are your children always late for school, because they refuse to get dressed? Dealing with a misbehaving child is one of the most frustrating things in life. It can leave you feeling tired and drained all the time, even when your kids are at school! What you need to do is to learn how to discipline a child correctly.
Here are some tips :-
Stay Calm
Avoid yelling and screaming yourself, since this can teach your child that it's OK to lose control of yourself when you're not getting your way. If you feel like things are escalating too much, send your child to your room until you figure out what to do with him.
Avoid Too Much Praise
Praising your child too much (especially for routine activities) can cause your comments to be less effective. It's important to know the difference between praising and approving. Praising is verbally saying things like "you did a good job." 
Avoid Physical Punishments
Spanking and other forms of physical punishments can make your child be fearful of his parents rather than learn from his actions. The only thing your child is likely to learn is how to avoid getting caught rather than changing his behavior.
Bribes vs Rewards
It's much better to reward good behavior than to bribe your child into doing something good. A bride is rewarding your child before he did something and a reward is given after the good behavior.
Use these tips on how to discipline a child, and you'll notice changes is your child's behavior in no-time!
