Child Psychology : How to Discipline a Child That Does Not Listen

[@user-yt9qy3pb5f]

It's a balance between maintaining authority as a parent and NOT teaching your children to be blindly obedient. Ultimately, when our children are young, all they want is to BE us. They don't obey what we say. "Don't watch too much t.v.", "Go play and get some exercise.", "Be nice and don't use bad words like that." As a father, I've found that by me doing the things I want them to do, they'll tend to do them on their own. That means giving up some bad habits you have. Do you gossip in front of your kids? They'll be critical. Do you yell or express emotion regularly in unhealthy ways (not the occasional moment of weakness, but regular loss of control)? They'll do the same. If we want to have healthy families, we have to actually do the things ourselves that make it that way. They also need coaching, but we shouldn't have to micromanage everything, but also not leave them be. The thoughts our children go to sleep with are among the most important. Read to them, show them unconditional love. There may be things you need to talk to them about. Don't put it off. Talk to them like they're the most important person in the world. Don't rush. If you need more time to do bedtime, start it earlier. If something is important enough to you, you'll figure it out. I'm still learning and will continue doing so. We have "authority" because we are the constant in their life. We are their home.

This is the most impactful comment I’ve read. I’m 23 and my husband is 25. We are trying to have a baby and I’ve been doing research. My parents did the same you are describing but when I asked how they parented so well, neither one knew how to put it into words where I could understand. You cleared things up for me. I appreciate you so much! Thank you!

[@Dangitbobbi]

Beautifully put.

[@dkoh1020]

Talk to them like they are the most important person in the world. That's so well put, thank you. Being the 4th child I got very little guidance on life from my parents other than cliched advice like study hard and be wary of bad people. Very surface level stuff. No advice on career, relationships and money etc. Now I have my own kids, I take talking to them seriously and try and be their best friend, but I am also firm when needed. I dont want them to face the brutality of the world alone. Parents need to frame the world for their kids or they will learn things the hard way.

[@Strivingmuslimah27]

This is such a brilliant comment but it's extremely hard to do when you a single parent having to work from home while doing everything else,so we over tired and over stimulated. I'm yet to find someone who can advise otherwise especially because I'm not in a position to get any help

[@basicuser54]

Well said

[@nyahb3242]

As a child care professional I have learnt (from1990 onwards) that parents who are too laid back with the child is sending a clear message to them he can just do as he or she pleases KNOWING the parent will not correct them. At times I have come across a parent who will not even listen to their child misbehaving feedback or challenge the older child to take responsiblity for their behaviour. Be a parent. NOT your childs friend if you want my advice.

[@Angelia359]

This is true. My mom let me get away with a lot as a child and teenager. As a child I knew I could just throw a fit until I got my way and as a teenager I knew I could do whatever I wanted with minimal consequences. I was smoking, drinking, having sex, shoplifting, got arrested for assault. Thankfully I was able to straighten myself out and go to therapy as an adult but I gave my mom hell because she wouldn't put her foot down.

[@AbdulMalikIbraheem-jf3qo]

Please man Forgive her as she's doing it out of love the way she raised you might be the consequences of how she was raised.

[@deedeegreen8338]

I'm just seeing this now. I wish I could give more than one "like". I worked for many years, in child care, and this is the best advice I have ever heard. People used to ask me how I was able to have command of a room full of kids, even when my peers were having trouble. I always knew there was more than just punishment. I know you're thinking that this doctor over-simplifying, but he's not. I grew up with 8 other siblings and watched my mother grow angier and meaner, with every year, trying to "control" us. Nobody wants to be controlled, not even children, but when I would be in other people's homes, (some with the same amount of children), I was always surprised at the calm and respect the kids had for their parents. I see now, it's because the parents set rules and boundaries, and followed through with the consequences, but even more than that, they were allowed to be children without be punished for every little things kids do. I am so impressed by this psychologist.

[@danielagutierrez9969]

Thank you for sharing this. Your comment makes me want to look further into the freedom children want to have, instead of being controlled. Thanks

But knowing some battles may not end. Then the question is how do you now fight that battle. Because whooping and time out and taking things may be to much to do everytime for 13 years

[@Bnice2any1]

I really like the saying “connection before correction”. When we tend to say mean words or when we hit someone, that’s coz we are angry/frustrated/ disappointed. Thats not educating, that’s us releasing our strong emotions /venting our emotions towards children. That’s not necessarily teaching children to improve themselves? What do we unintentionally teach a kid when we do that? By yelling at them or smacking them, we unintentionally teach them that they can do the same to other people if they are angry/ sad/ disappointed/ frustrated. I think humans tend to listen better & more patient when they are in a better mood, hence why we need to connect with children 1st, even with adults because we are not perfect of course, telling them what is not right and ask them what & how to do next. The professional usually would advice us to ask them why are they not listening 1st, acknowledge their feelings 1st, and then get to the point and tell them how we (adults) feel when they don’t cooperate. It is better if we also ask them what or how will they do 1st to make the situation better, it makes them think before getting the correct/ right answer from us /adults. At the same time, it also shows them that we care about their feelings and shows that we are willing to listen to them before teaching them a lesson. No one likes to be told of with disrespect attitude right? People would get offended 1st before the the right and true message gets into their mind. Consequences doesn’t have to be physical punishment that hurts, it can be a guidance and long respectful conversation. I studied about emotional quality, which costed me quite a bit, but it helped me with managing my emotions and helped to communicate better with people, my partner and my own child. I think raising children is never easy, never convenient, which is why it is very tiring and it is very time consuming and a lot of our energy(mentally & physically) to raise a respectful and responsible children & adults. Make sure you treat yourself something, a self care plan for yourself where you can do / eat something you like or enjoy. We often put family members 1st, but we need to recharge so we can be better versions of ourselves too. With lack of rest due to surviving life and parenthood in general, that’s why we need to squeeze some time per day... be it just 10mins, try to take care of ourselves, I think if parents are “semi-sane” a.k.a better mood, we will raise happier, respectful and responsible children. Best wishes to us all 🌸

[@flsolicitors4213]

Any books you recommend in relation to emotional quality? Thank you for your comments, they are useful..

[@Bnice2any1]

FL Solicitors Aww.. I’m glad it is helpful for you! I’m learning to improve and get better a little by little at what I preach too, with the help of many professionals out there. What I could think of now are two books by Daniel Goleman. Which are “Emotional Intelligence : Why it Can Matter More Than IQ” & “Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child” - which professor John Gott also co-written. My partner & I have been listening to the podcast this year by Erin Rogers- Asrilant and the name of the podcast is “Parenting Beyond Discipline”. She is an American parenting & child development expert for kids and family. One of my daughter’s bed time story books is “I Just Don’t Like the Sound of No” by Julia Cook 😆

Pat Star It’s okay to be sad, but it’s also important to remind ourselves that we are humans, and any changes take time, good or bad. The most important key is to acknowledge our mistake as quick as possible, and apologise to others or children, try not to be ashamed for being “wrong”, or try not to hold on to “reputation” or “image”, then try our best to reach our human goals again. Best wishes! It’s more challenging during pandemic.

Some great tips here. My child has just been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD and is currently unmedicated. Ive changed my parenting to listen more, have been teaching him emotional coping strategies and how to express his anger in a healthy way while also setting firm boundaries and being consistent with consequences, having open discussions about cause and effect and helping him with organising and planning. I find that positive reinforcement and sticker charts just have him do something for the reward...not actually teaching him the importance or value of rules and a structured system. Ive noticed he is such a much happier child and it reduces my stress knowing he is not taking implusive, uncalcuated risks that hurt others or himself and he is excelling with friendships, sports and school work. There is a lot more mutual love and respect and our relationship is a lot healthier now :) Makes me so happy that he feels he can come and talk about his problems and let me help him solve them together.

[@beautifuldayzee5942]

That sounds great. How are things going now, 11 months later? Two important questions I have for you: could you please explain in a bit more detail about: 1) how you have 'set firm boundaries', what are the boundaries and how have you been enforcing them? and 2) What exactly these 'consistent consequences' are that you have set? Thank you!

Hi Meow, there is a video about ADHD that I genuinely recommend from a doctor that has a different perspective on ADHD. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppXEe56Hm7qXj8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXnMoqJqn7airrM My girlfriend has two children and since she made these changes her kids are doing a lot better. Notably since they reduced the sugars and unhealthy processed foods by 80%, they are different kids. Her 8 year old now actually reads the labels of foods in the carb/sugar section and has an awareness on the effects of sugar. And they are happy kids that do get to enjoy deserts and sweets, we just make them with monk fruit/erythrithol instead (same taste as actual sugar) Anyway, if it is not your cup of tea no problem.

[@dennisahdaniel9573]

I struggle daily with this problem in a classroom with 10 toddlers, they feed off the ones who exhibit disruptive behaviors and positive redirection only works for maybe 5 minutes before they are back at it! With only 2 adults in the room it is exhausting and makes us feel like failures because we can't keep control of the group constantly. There have been days when I had 6 toddlers alone to deal with and I broke down into tears of frustration and helplessness in moments of what can only be described as mutiny and a hostage situation orchestrated by a group of 2 year olds. Others In my feild of work have had those moments too. They demand constant one on one attention as individuals and it's impossible to provide that in a group setting. They act out because they can't get what they need emotionally consistently throughout the day with so much competition. I love them and love being with them overall, it is just extremely hard and unfair to put that many young children with one adult for up to 10 hours each day. I wish the legal ratio would be lowed from 6:1 to 4:1. 4 is great, 6 is a nightmare.

[@LAStars-sratS]

When my child was in a good or neutral mood, we would discuss the bad behaviour and I would ask him how he should be reprimanded. He had some pretty creative, intuitive ways to deal with things! One was putting him in the hammock (we had one in the livingroom) for a time out. When he was heavy and difficult putting him in the hammock would lighten him up. When he would get hot tempered he told me to dump a glass of water on him to cool him down. His suggestions worked extremely well.

My sister has a child that’s the same age as my little one. I was so against her giving her little one smacks at a young age (little smacks on hand or bum) while I was letting my little one live and learn freely with no boundaries really. Now all I can say is that our children are 4, her son is an absolute good boy while being out in public. He is so compassionate and empathetic when it comes to meeting people and making friends. He also has really good listening skills and knows when it’s time to pack up etc. Now my little turned out to be an absolute nightmare and I’m beginning to think it’s because I didn’t discipline her and now she walks all over me...

[@rossstephens4396]

I realise this was posted a long time ago but respectfully, I think you are wrong. Touching a child without permission in a situation where their safety is not at stake implies a huge amount of authority. You are not being their friend here, you are insisting they respond to your parental authority as well as helping them making that response effectively. Certainly doing it in a friendly non-threatening manner helps, but it's not the same thing as letting them ignore you. It literally only takes seconds to do this, it's probably faster than going to the kitchen and fetching Winny the Whale, let alone suffering the fallout of a sulky, resentful, passive aggressive child.

[@lauren8407]

Nothing no matter how big for a consequence motivates my child. Which has been difficult because I don’t want to be overbearing and discourage my child’s heart. Recently I’ve just had him sit on the back step whenever there’s an issue until he chooses to come in and that’s helped me stay calm.. which is not my forte. This was helpful! A consequence doesn’t have to be punishment always but can be guidance. I never thought of guidance as a consequence.

[@carolec2400]

Sorry I work with kids and consequences are an affective tool. Some kids struggle more than others but they remember I mean what I say and if there is noncompliance the consequence kicks in. Something they were miss using being taken away, something they value. We address the behavior, walk through different choices the next time and they have to accept the consequence. They remember. Kids will repeat the behavior however because of the consequence they pause and look at us before checking themselves because they do not want that consequence again. It is awesome seeing them correct themselves before they commit to a poor choice. As an adult my boundaries are in place. Kids want boundaries. It brings an element of feeling safe and they know we care about them. Kids hunger for that.

Kids always listen everything and always think, even when we don’t realize. They are learning and experiencing every second. There are different reasons why kids don’t do what we ask them to do. I think everything should be based in communication (the way we ask different things to them) and the way we behave; we are an example for them, they act like us. So first of all we must control out actions, then asking them to do things. And especially we should learn from them, they are very good teachers.

If you use the nice calm way in most cases it works but when a kids goal is to see how far he can go before something happens not calm you have to let them see the pain for themselves. We have all been told no Ober and over and warned but we touched the stove or a hot pot and have never done that shit again lol.

[@brent1041]

K P take privileges away from him as a punishment. Like if he won’t clean up his toys after he’s done playing with them, take them away. When I was a kid my dad would get upset when we didn’t do our homework and instead sat inside watching tv. As a punishment we were forced to do our homework while he sat and made sure we were doing it, then locked out of the house (we didn’t want to be outside because of the summer heat). It worked. We didn’t wana sit and sweat in the hot summer heat so we would bust out our homework fast or do it while watching tv before my dad got home from work

I'm not sure how else to approach these little ones and if you speak to the parent's, it's almost like we are on opposite teams. I'm not sure how else to get through to them.

She walked closer to my cousin's net door and asked him firmly but not angrily, "Mom asked you to do your homework, why didn't you do it? Come on do it now." And that was that, he started doing it. Won't work for every parent or every child though, because my aunt is a kind yet very firm person, and my cousin is a somewhat nice kid too in general.

[@mariomarius6070]

just wonder if someone is able to answer me this: dr. says punishment doesnt teach kids neither it motivates to change their behaviour, however i've read that there are two types of motivation in humans - Toward Pleasure and Away From Pain. As for the kids they must act the same way and therefore half of them would respond to punishment positively unless motivation is not formatted fully in the kids. shouldn't we first understand our kids and then choose the best approach for showing consequences in the right way?..

[@samuils]

Ok lets look at a specific example. If a child doesnt brush his/her teeth, what will "pain' teach a child? Punishment only tells children that disobeying is painful (if we are talking about hitting/ yelling etc) it teaches absolutely nothing when it comes to the reasons of the parents request. In the example of brushing teeth, the child needs to learn that not brushing will make teeth rot and fall out etc. Dont forget, you are raising a self directed adult to be, children need to know the reasons, not pain.

[@mariomarius6070]

samuils I agree its a good example, however i was not referring to punishment as motivation as it in no ways is one, luckily not anymore. I'll give an example: some of us create plans and strive for achievement ( a proactive approach), the others on the other hand wait until a problem occur,wait until it becomes unavoidable and very painful and would only then star acting. A simple example would be a toothache, they would wait until half of the face gets swollen and only then would go to see a dentist as opposite to the first group who would go for regular check ups and would avoid this to happen. In medieval ages there would be a place for entertainment to attract the first group who would be motivated to work hard to get a deserved entertainments and a gallows to scare shit out of the second group who would work just to avoid being hanged. As you can see there always was and still exist the same ways of motivating people or self motivation as grown ups would refer. So my question would be: is motivation in kids work the same way or it appears some time later. as it would be beneficial to take right approach to make sure we motivate them in the correct direction and not suppress their personalities.

[@samuils]

***** Hi, children by nature are incredibly motivated. The motivation to walk, the inherent motivation in developing motor functions, as well as speech and so on. I would rather say that motivation gets knocked out of children by neglectful parents (not saying you are neglectful, just gave it as an example). As far as "correct direction" well what is correct direction? The way you might want to approach this is, if you have good reasons as to why a particular direction is good, then you can and should take time to teach this to your child, if you cant explain it, then maybe its an irrelevant one. Im sorry, I have little to go on, as we are speaking abstracts, so I apologize if I misunderstood something. And yes, directing them while listening at the same time, is the best way.

[@mariomarius6070]

samuils Hi. Oh, i see your point about neglectful parents as i have observed some parents not praising their kids and giving them a bad feedback when their beloved ones explore the world and fail on something. I was raised the same way, my parents weren't the brightest ones and i had to relearn the world by educating myself. I am father-to-be and would like to give my child lessons he would enjoy having and find them beneficial later in his life. So i have so many questions on HOW TO, but i think the answer will never be the same as they all ( our kids) are different. So for giving right directions, i believe depends on your as a parent education, your kids character and the outer world which, we have so little influence, thus as you say, we as parents have to build our children's right motivation.

[@samuils]

***** Hi, there are many books out there on peaceful parenting, as well as philosophical parenting, hope you give them a read, also many websites dedicated to the subject. One thing I want to mention, that is universality. Universality which children understand from a very early age, meaning if you ask them to do something and they dont, its ok, but calmly you can tell a child "well see now that you didnt do this subjective thing I asked, which is ok, but this also means that I get to not do something when you ask, do you agree to these conditions?" Also, it was found that children can negotiate from very early speaking age as well. So its incredibly useful to teach your children negotiation by finding a common ground in every day activity or request, this is an incredible skill to learn for their future, where they will be able to negotiate vs. win/ lose. Lastly, dont set your self up as an infallible all knowing authority, this doesnt work well, kids need to learn not to fear authority, rather to understand that authority is there to help and to learn from. Congratulations on being a future parent, and with your mind set I wouldnt worry too much about being a wonderful parent. Get the knowledge and you will be great :)

I’m trying to help parent an emotionally disturbed 12 year old my wife adopted with a previous partner and maintaining positivity through managing his behaviors is extremely challenging. I have to put myself in time outs to hide my pure hatred for him and the chaos and harm he’s inflicted on our family sometimes. I often can’t wait for for the miserable chore of trying to parent this angry abusive selfish child to be done with. I hope this gets better. He’s been in residential care for a year and is due to come back this spring if we can’t get an extension. I’ve seen him make some progress while there, but mostly he’s recycled all of his manipulative tactics. Fake asthma, triangulation against one staff member he targets, refusing to comply with staff requests, staying on their version of “time out” which is exclusion from group activities or outings for weeks and then breaking down usually with tears before complying with authority for two days and then he resets to noncompliance. He seems to be unable to enjoy life unless he’s doing something at another person’s expense. I just despise and reject exploiters in general as adults and I can not believe how abusive this kid is at such a young age. I hope he can get better and form a plan because when he’s 18 I am DONE!

I've been a single parent to him and his 19 yr old sister. She studies and works no problem. He's always had an issue with authority in school, not outside school, he respects police officers, admires military personnel etc. I think he was missing an authoratative male figure in his life. He doesn't even care that he was to receive a paid trip to visit a friend in Virginia with expenses paid for going out, ubers, hotel, etc., I don't think he will make it thru these next 7 days and his teachers have pretty much checked out calling me saying "we don't see him graduating", thanks for the boost of confidence.

So what happens after you say “hey what’s up, I just ask you to pick up your shoes and you acted like you didn’t even hear me; then continues to ignore me? Not to mention if there is a response it’s NO! I respect what your saying but my thoughts are at what point without consequences for bad behavior will a child learn to stop the negative behavior? I never agree with psychical discipline but have difficulty understanding why logical consequences by age 3 if used properly are not the way to go. I’m having trouble understanding your method. Are you suggesting there’s a magical age when children just decides to respond with acceptable behavior? If we constantly complement and stop asking when they won’t respond. Aren’t we actually doing them an injustice? In the real world bad behavior results in uncomfortable results. How will our children learn consequences if we do not introduce them?

[@nabilc1667]

Embrace discomfort, your child will test your boundaries many times. If you allow them being crossed multiple times, then expect bad behavior from your child. The best advice is to have a father deal with this for the most part, they remain firm and have strong boundaries

It works for my older kids my toddlers i give mommy lap time because she is adventurous and never sits still. So in mommy lap time is where she must sit watch color crew.

[@Benevezzioficial]

Authority is only acknowledged to those who are righteous. Any authority made arbitrary or from ignorance is no authority at all

[@lucasjarrett6139]

Or the kid says, "I didn't want to come because I want to play." And then you have nothing, because they don't want your comfort, they want to play. And then you end up spending three extra minutes getting them to follow every little direction, which renders your class of twenty kids unmanageable if that child's expectation spreads to everyone else, because you don't have an hour to spend on every transition between activities - generally, you have less than five minutes for the whole class. Also, your proposed strategy will likely condition any kid to expect that it's okay to ignore an adult and wait for the extra conversation about why it's actually time to do whatever an adult has suggested the need to do. So your kids will be increasingly unlikely to clean up at first request. That's fine if your kid is homeschooled and has all the time in the world to get bored of asking inane questions about little details of their day, but impossible in a strictly-timed group-behavioral-management context, or in a context where immediate obedience is a life-or-death necessity. Besides that, kids learn to understand negative consequences by experiencing them, and you are denying them an important lesson from the Universe about how Nature really works when you make every effort to avoid any negative-feeling consequence that might teach them to avoid problematic behaviors. Also, "punishment" in psychology has for many people come to mean anything that reduces undesirable behavior. Under this definition, to whatever extent your "consequence" actually SUCCEEDS in reducing the undesirable behavior (ignoring your weak, boring request), it is a punishment. So you sound unscientific to suggest that your consequence is fundamentally different from punishment as serious psychologists classically understand it, ever since Skinner (unlike you) carefully operationalized the concepts of reward and punishment decades ago. I think the context of this advice is a critically missing determiner of its practical value. If we're talking about someone who has no idea that following quickly is important for reasons A, B, and C, you can often correct behavior by explaining A, B, and C in a way that is totally redirecting, and not explicitly focused on reducing the problem behavior (while still practically accomplishing that outcome). But many kids understand A, B, and C, have decided that they don't particularly care about them, and choose to prioritize their own desires over those of adults. For example, consider any kid who knows how to have way more fun than an adult can allow them to have during school. Those children will not respond unless they experience consequences that are ultimately undesirable and thus punishing on some level.

Well, Kee Mon literally wrote the child “should know” there are consequences to their actions, as if the answer comes innately from within. I think the real life and real world scenarios show that most children don’t understand the concept of causation, that of cause and effect. They won’t always understand a slap to the face is because a bad word slipped out of their mouth. They might remember the pain and humiliation, but not that they deserved it for something they did in the moment then quickly forgot. In fact, the takeaway is more likely to fear and distrust the person who is supposed to be taking care of you. I suppose in both situations, whether heeding the advice in the video or using corporal punishment, you are teaching the lesson of consequences, but again in both scenarios, you are molding their behavior. There is nothing innate about it.

[@rossstephens4396]

It's an example of Newton's Laws of Motion. An object will continue in a direction until a greater force acts on it to change that direction. The request is a force to change direction but not sufficient to do so. The touch and insistence on a response (but not an insistence to comply) is a greater force. That's a consequence, a gentler consequence than a smack for sure but still a consequence. Look at it this way; The request to do something they don't want to do is a 'pressure' and these are some possible consequences of ignoring that pressure. a. The pressure stays the same (the parent continues to ask) the child ignores the request and takes 'authority points. Remember it's crazy to keep doing the same thing and expect different results b.The pressure goes away (the parent stops asking) so the child 'wins' and takes an 'authority point' or c. The pressure is increased i.e the parent moves into their space, makes physical contact and insists on a response. The child is guided to verbalise their response, is rewarded with a hug, compliance is gained through 'negotiation', crisis averted and the parent gains an authority point. There are lots of punishment type consequences available of course but this seems like a positive way to approach the problem. The desired outcome is achieved, the child gains a 'skill point' in verbalising their feelings and the relationship gains a 'love/trust point'. Win/Win

Goodbye Sparkeee I really like this explanation, and it’s not the first time I’ve seen it. Actually, I prefer to do this method, and it’s something I’ve tried in the past. Now... what do you do when your child arches and throws themselves on the ground when they totally ignore your hand on their shoulder? What happens when they scream and throw a huge fit? Do I sit there and smile at them? Do I pulled them off the floor and put them in timeout? I understand this positive approach, and how it’s supposed to improve emotional development. I’m just at a loss when the child refuses to meet you halfway in these scenarios. Do I remove them from the situation, and change the environment to a new room? Ask again, and sacrifice an authority point to hopefully gain it back? Thank you!

[@tarah6181]

So say I maintain my authority by asking my child why she hasn't put shoes on. My child then picks up the shoes, looks at me with a grin and says, " oh these shoes?" And then tosses them across the room. I deal with this from my child in many different things throughout the day. What do I do about that?

[@mariasindile9647]

Tarah Gray I say a more rigurous discipline is required. Not saying resort to violence but in my case, when I was really misbehaving and my parents TD were tired of repeating the same thing in different ways. They just spanked me. It took one small spank and it straightened me out quick. You need to reinforce your role as parent and provider. They need to understand that the reason they have so much freedom is not because simply they exist. But because you allow them to. They need to know who calls the shots. This sounds like crazy, but training a child and a dog is very similar. A kid that age isn't that much smarter than a dog and they will both be constantly looking to test you and your authority.

[@TechieTard]

I wish what you said wasn't true because it sounds almost in-humane. Fact is, it is damn near identical to training a dog. "Do this and you get a treat", you have to "con" them into wanting to do something so that they can receive there reward. Some kids, with one spanking the message is made clear. With other kids, even medieval torture wouldn't get the point across. What I do is never give my child candy or sweets, then dangle it when I need something to be understood/done! Man oh man, a child that taste candy once a week is a soldier in boot camp because he wants that candy so damn bad!

Cheers for the video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Trentvorty Kids Science Theorem (should be on google have a look)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for becoming an excellent parent minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got amazing success with it.

[@davidleitman]

some of the best content I've ever come across - including your material debunking Parental Alienation Syndrome and the family courts. It's as if you have the vaccine for pathology related to attachment trauma and the world is just looking the other way. Meanwhile an entire generation of children suffer.

[@victoriawelch1112]

Discipline is a part of love. If you don't care enough to discipline your child then you get the results you deserve. I never understood pple who CONSTANTLY have to talk to their kids over and over,"go to bed, stop this, stop that." My boys aren't angels by any stretch but I don't really have that problem. They do what I say THE FIRST TIME - (most of the time) and if they don't, they know the consequences won't be pretty. I probably whoop my boys once every two yrs cuz they're relatively good kids who aren't afraid of me but they just respect me and don't want mama to be mad at them.

[@Hip.Username]

It sounds like they're afraid of you, it only takes a few beatings to be afraid of someone

[@Ndags23]

What if the father is authority based and the mother is guidance based? Two different parenting styles. And constant bickering over whose way is better and more effective.

[@AngryCanadian1971]

In response to your question. Tip #1 the parents must understand that continuity is very important to a child; hence, similar so-called discipline, should be maintained through out a child's upbringing; as well as, followed through expectations. (No idle threats). 2nd tip. Children must be brought to understand that certain expectations differ from environment to environment. A good example of this is; certain behaviours may be expectable at home but not at home and may differ from grandmas house. I hope this helps.

[@Ndags23]

AngryAtheist Thanks it does help. Do you have more vids?

[@aturnbull7198]

Some people think being a single parent is hard but this is another example of why its not so easy to co parent either lol. Surely there has to be a compromise between BOTH parents and it must be consistent and the both of you must stick too it. If something doesn't work it's always trail and error, continue to try different methods that both you and your partner are BOTH comfortable with and that you can both compromise on and once you find it the both of you should stick to it! Parenting is team work and dont argue about it, keep it discreet.

[@resume1009]

No kidding................

[@rocketdude1979]

I am going to put it all out there! I was the stay at home and I had a mixxed approach to parenting. My wife she said "I don't want to dicipline the kids only enjoy them" but I only wanted her to shut up if I was diciplining and if she had a problem how I did it tell me away from the kids not in front of them like she often would. She often said I was too hard on the kids but if she is dicipline level 0 then I need to be 8, I can go back to a 6 if you bring it up to a 4. I am not talking about hitting but backing me up. Well she undermined my authority so much that I couldn't even teach the kids. She saw fault in how I did things.... and called social services, they (social services) used my teaching based posistion of what happened "that day" to say I was annoyed and hated my son when I was in fact trying to get him ready for Kindergarten by telling him "tears don't work with daddy what's a way to solve this without me because mamma and daddy won't be able to solve your problems in school what can you do?" (His 2.5 year old sister was putting her feet in his hair while sitting on the sofa and him on the floor) he moved. Social Services turned this teaching moment of me trying to teach my son into me being annoyed by his whining. If I told my son get dressed he often would not unless you stood over him. One day I shut off the TV and he woke up his mom and she came out like a beast ranting about me being mean saying why can't he watch TV instead of just telling our son daddy probably has a good reason. I knew he got breakfast in School at Kindergarten and had 20 to 30 minutes to eat it so I set up the timer and everything left on his plate went in the trash when done and the wife freaked saying I was starving him.... um.... no if words were not working we needed to model what was expected at school and no snack until lunch.... parenting 101.

[@charmellechateau777]

Exactlyyyyyy this is bullshit we talking about real kids not tv actors

[@suelira9371]

It's obvious from the example the child doesn't care what the parent wants he only cares to play with legos, Dr.'s point was to help him care by communicating. The child said "I don't care" by ignoring the instruction given. Your child literally says I DON'T CARE then ignores you. Same issue. Dr. is suggesting stop your world for a second and go see what's going on in her world. Then help to transition from "I Don't Care" to "I need to do what I'm told."

Sigmund Freud is considered the father of modern Psychology . He brought us , Penis Envy and Castration Envy. Touchy , Feely bullshit that is theory and does not work in the real world . Behavior Specialist's in every school and the kids walk all over the teachers . A boss isn't going to "communicate " endlessly with an employee who constantly screws up . The employee will be warned once or twice and then be fired. If the boss doesn't do this the business will fail . Very simple .

smacking is the answer , todays children are unruly disobedient and out of control, its no use telling a child not to do something that is wrong , because the child will keep doing it, I hear the idiots say smacking is cruel, well if it prevents them ending up in prison I say its good

[@elenabogdanovic9329]

well, actually it's scientifically proven that by you smacking your child they will probably develop anger issues which is not good also, as a child, when my parent smacks me i don't want to do what i'm told, i get mad and shut down and later i cry in my room and hold a grudge for meny years to come :) so please, don't smack your children, it doesn't make them do what you told and they see you as an enemy more than a parent and a person they want to listen to just because we are young doesn't mean we are dumb, we want to be respected as well :)
