Disciplining Children: I Feel I Got a New Child After Using The Dream Child Method...
 
I'm a young mother, and I don't have much experience with disciplining children. I have a five-year-old son, who just started Kindergarten. For the most part, his behavior is quite well. I was afraid he'd be the holy terror in school and I'd get called to the principal's office nearly every day. Turns out, he saves the tantrums and the mind-boggling defiance for his father and I.

He's a picky eater. Every night, dinner is a battle. We've tried rewards, "If you eat your dinner, you'll get a special surprise". We've tried punishments. "If you don't eat your dinner, you'll lose your favorite toy." We've even tried hiding veggies in good tasting foods, and he figures it out every time.
He screams, or flat out refuses to eat the vegetables. If that doesn't work, he sits stone cold still at the table until we give up the fight.
He doesn't care that his toys and privileges are taken away. He doesn't seem to care that he won't grow up big and strong.

After several months of this nightly battle, unless we served something like pizza, macaroni and cheese, or burritos, my husband and I were ready to kill each other. We have slightly different parenting styles in the first place, because he's the more traditional stern parent and I'm the softie. After our son would win the battle with the food, we'd just fight with each other.

We'd tried advice on disciplining children from several different sources: our parents, books, magazines, friends, family. Finally, we found the Dream Child Method. It works with the child's subconscious mind, where about 99% of behavior comes from, to alter the behavioral patterns. At first, we were skeptical, but we tried it because we wouldn't feel any better unless we knew we tried everything.

Trying the Dream Child Method was the best move we could have made. Not only do we have our sweet child back, but we have our sanity back and our marriage back too. Now everyone marvels at what a wonderfully behaved child we have, which is quite a change from the smirks and stares we used to get in public. I'm so glad we no longer fit the young parent stereotype-you know, the one that says all young parents are stupid and have terrible children because we're still children ourselves. The fact is it doesn't matter how old you are, it matters how much you care.

About Disciplining Children...
 
Disciplining children between the ages of two to ten years old can be a challenging task. As parents, we know that raising our children can be a wonderful experience, but many complications may arise.
 
Most parents will agree that disciplining their children is one of the most challenging aspects of parenting in general. It is important to understand that the role of discipline is not to punish. It is to educate.
It is a process in which a child learns what behaviors and actions are considered to be negative, and gains an understanding on how to correct those behaviors and actions into those that are considered appropriate and socially acceptable. Discipline is the process in which parents assist their children in becoming emotionally intellectual, happy, productive adults.
In this guide, you will be given some advice on how to effectively engage in the process of disciplining children ages two to ten years of age.

House Rules

One of the most effective techniques used by parents in disciplining children involves setting up house rules. As adults, we know that we live and are governed by a wide array of rules. These rules allow us to know what is considered to be socially acceptable.
We know what is expected to us, we understand that if we do not follow these rules that it can impact our lives and the lives of others in a negative way, and that if we follow these rules we can experience the rewards - such as maintaining our freedoms, being able to drive practically anywhere that we like, and having the ability to decide what we will do from one day to another. If we fail to follow the rules that society places on us, we suffer the consequences. Children must be issued house rules to know and understand what is considered to be acceptable. In the same respect, they must understand the consequences of breaking the house rules too.

To create house rules, follow these tips:

1. Create a minimum of ten rules that are realistic for the child to follow. Examples include "No Hitting", "No Yelling", and others that are similar in nature.

2. Once the rules have been created, call a family meeting and explain them to the children. Be sure to answer any questions that they have and ask them to explain to you what those rules mean. By doing this, you will be sure that the rules are understood.

3. Next, you should place the house rules that you have created up in a location where they can be seen by everyone in the home - even small children.

Ways of Disciplining Children

Reward Charts

Now, when it comes to disciplining children, there is more involved than just setting up house rules. House rules are nothing more than guidelines of what you expect from your child. In order for house rules to be truly effective, there should be a reward system in place. A reward chart should be placed next to the house rules so that the actions and behaviors of the child can be monitored. Providing attention that is positive and high levels of praise are quite effective techniques when it comes to disciplining children. Basically, you will want to create a chart that has the name of your child or children down one side and positive behaviors along the top. Examples include "Going to Bed Nicely" or "Being Nice to Others". When the child has engaged in the behavior, they should be given a sticker to reflect their accomplishment.

Once the child has been issued a certain amount of stickers on the reward chart, they should receive something special to show your appreciation for their excellent behavior. There are many rewards that can be issued when it comes to reward charts. These include:

* Small toys from the Dollar Tree or similar stores

* New book

* Going to the movies

* Going to the park

* Visiting a friend

* Picking a toy from a "treasure chest" you create from toys or purchase

* A play date

* A sleepover

* Computer play time

* Television time

* Family game night

There are many rewards that can be offered when it comes to reward charts used in conjunction with house rules in disciplining children!

As you can see, disciplining children can be a fun and positive experience for everyone in the home. If you use a house rules approach, it is important to determine what will be done in the event that a child breaks a rule. First and foremost, it is important to bend down to the child's level and explain to them that they have just broken a rule and tell them which rule and how they broke it. From there, place them in time out.
Time out length should be one minute per year that the child is in age. A ten year old would have ten minutes time out and a two year old would have two minutes. Once the time out has finished, go to the child, explain once more why they had the time out, let them know that you love them, reaffirm with a hug and allow them to speak.
If you use these techniques when disciplining children ages two to ten, you will achieve success!

Disciplining Children...

Is disciplining children something you hate doing? Have you tried everything you know to do?

Are you tired of your children pitching fits and running you ragged? When time out hasn't work, when spankings haven't worked, and when taking away toys, games, and privileges hasn't worked, parents tend to be at the end of their rope and don't know what to do.

Well, instead of accepting the fact that your child is difficult to handle and nothing you try works, turn to the Dream child method.
This method of disciplining children will help you understand not only why your children are behaving the way they are, but it will help you change the behavior on a subconscious level, and you'll see a change in your child's behavior in just a week.

Disciplining Children - Good Parenting Doesn't Come with a Job Description!
 
Good parenting is a generalized term that is often used by parents in order to achieve a desired goal when raising and disciplining children.
 

The main goal is to raise your children to be productive, successful and happy adults. In order to achieve this goal, you will be required to do several things:

* You must recognize that you are a role model in all that you do. Those wondering little eyes pick up everything - good and bad. They can pick up how well you interact with other family members, how you deal with authority figures and neighbors, and whether you are bothered by road rage on the highway. When raising children, there is absolutely no place for foul language unless you want your children to pick up that bad habit.

* You must make a genuine effort to exemplify good behavior when you are angry, resentful, frustrated, sad and happy.

* You must seek to change any bad behaviors that you modeling to your children.

Now let's talk specifically about disciplining children. Here are some tips that you may want to follow for children who are between the ages of 2 and 10 years of age.

* We have all heard of the "terrible 2's", right? It seems that the only word that comes out of your child's mouth is "No!" While I was listening to Focus on the Family just yesterday, it made mention of the fact that when talking about disciplining children, it is not too early at the age of 2 to give the child a time out. If the child happens to be hitting or biting you should tell the child sternly "No hitting!" and then give the child a time out for 5 minutes in their bedroom or until the crying has stopped. In the same manner, you always want to reward good behavior as well. So when you see that your little one is exhibiting positive behavior, give him or her an unexpected reward. Be creative and use your imagination!

* Establish one-on one or quality time with you child. This is especially important if you have more than one child. Do something each week that is special for your child. It may be as simple as going out for some ice cream or having a few hours at the park.

* When it comes to disciplining children, don't give them free reign to go wherever they want. Ask where your child is going and who he or she will be with. Try to get to know your child's friends and their parents as well.

* When your child gets home from school, try to be there. I know it is harder and harder to survive on one income nowadays, but the sacrifices you make early in your child's life will pay off in big dividends as your child grows older.

* Try to have family meals together preferably at suppertime. This is a terrific way to have your children talk about their day at school and a fine way to develop deeper bonds.

* You must try to be a better listener. When making family decisions, ask for your children's input. If you show that you are willing to be a good listener, your children will feel more comfortable if they ever have to open up to you.

* Be sure to accentuate the positive things that your children do right. Being too critical can have a detrimental affect on your children. Respect as well as affection will reinforce the good behavior and will change the bad. Making your child fell uneasy or embarrassed won't.

* When disciplining children, remember that rules will have to be created. You can discuss before hand what will happen if the rules are broken. Don't just make empty threats and not follow through. Your children will soon see that you are a soft touch and they will be able to get by with anything.

Hopefully these tips will help you in disciplining children. Remember, it was never said that parenting would be easy!
