Child Behavior, Child Development And Child Discipline

How do you discipline children other than spanking or yelling?

This is a spin-off from another question. I believe parents wouldn’t spank if they knew more affective ways of disciplining. So, lets help those that don’t want to spank by offering what we do.

I’ll kick this off. When my children seem to be doing one behavior (i.e. not sharing, not eating, whining) that needs to be changed, I create a family star chart. If they refrain from doing the behavior, I put a star on the chart. For example, every time I see them share, they get a star, collectively. We don’t keep track of who get which star. When the chart if full, they get the specified reward (a zoo trip, ice cream, movie, etc.). At the beginning, I have to preface activities by saying, if you share, you’ll earn a star. Usually, they need about 20-30 stars for the reward. Something they can achieve in a week.

Other ideas?

My son is 25 years old now, and I didn’t spank him. It can work. With him, if he were doing something wrong, I would go to him, get down to his level, hold his face so he was looking right at me (not harshly of course) and say in a VERY stern voice…”That is NOT okay! You do NOT hit people! Do you understand me?!” Generally, that worked. If he did something like…come home late, I would take away a TV show he liked. You vary it according to what works best for you…for example, if he did something I would normally take away a favorite show over…but it was Christmas time and I knew the one he wanted to see, was a seasonal thing that he may not see until next year…I would give him chores, like pulling the weeds from between the bricks on the porch. He absolutely hated it, but it was negative reinforcement and he learned without being hit.

I was not ‘afraid’ to discipline my kid. That’s a cop out for parents who can’t think of anything else BUT physical punishment. He never got into trouble at school, or with the law. He never smarted off to me (once or twice as a teenager but it didn’t last, and you expect that ‘testing’ period)…and he felt confident enough in our relationship to tell me anything. People STILL remark on what a great relationship he and I have. Hitting is NOT necessary in my book. I have living proof that while yes…discipline is necessary…PHYSICAL discipline is not.

The other half of the equation, is to KNOW your kids. You can’t JUST be the police officer. Talk to them. Let them tell you their thoughts. If they feel comfortable with that, it will last throughout their growing years. They can come to you with anything.

Child Welfare Research: Advances for Practice and Policy $42.99 Research has already been a significant factor in child welfare policy in recent years, but this essential new volume demonstrates that it has taken a leading role in the field to spur and guide change. In the incisive chapters gathered here, some of the field’s top investigators present their work and assess its effect on the full spectrum of child welfare services. Future generations of researchers, as well as students, practitioners, and service providers, will find the resulting text indispensable. Edited by Duncan Lindsey and Aron Shlonsky, two of the discipline’s most articulate voices, the book covers every base. The opening chapters situate child welfare research in the modern context; they are followed by discussions of evidence-based practice in the field, arguably its most pressing concern now. Recent years have seen historic rises in the number of children adopted through public agencies and, accordingly, permanent placement and family ties are critical topics that occupy the book’s core, along with chapters broaching the thorny questions that surround decision-making and risk assessment. The urgent need for a more effective use of research and evidence is highlighted again with looks at the future of child protection and how concrete data can influence policy and help children. Finally, in recognition of the growing importance of a global view, closing chapters address international issues in child welfare research, including an examination of policies from abroad and a multinational comparison of the economic challenges facing single mothers and their children. With its insightful treatment of child welfare services in terms of the broader welfare system and acknowledgment of the myriad problems child welfare agencies face, this exceptional compendium offers a rich understanding of the social conditions that influence contemporary child welfare and enables the field to move ahead without losing sight of valuable lessons that have been

Confident Parents, Remarkable Kids: 8 Principles for Raising Kids You’ll Love to Live With $2.89 When a child believes he is bad, he behaves badly-and parents react badly, which will only reinforce the child’s belief that he is bad. But confident parents can break this cycle and improve their child’s misbehavior, says child development specialist Bonnie Harris. Using Harris’s eight parenting principles designed to help children succeed, parents will learn the following truths: my child wants to be successful; behavior is the signal to my child’s emotional state; inappropriate behavior means my child is having a problem, not being a problem; my needs are no more or no less important than my child’s; I accept my child as a competent and unique individual; the behavior I focus on grows; I need to say what my child can hear; good discipline requires connection; and punishment breaks connection. Putting these principles to work allows parents to abandon the typical reward and punishment system of discipline (which alienates child and parent), and replace it with a more compassionate, successful approach that brings parent and child together. With Harris’s plan, parents will gain the confidence and skills to raise remarkable kids they will love to live with-and vice versa.

Connected Parenting: Transform Your Challenging Child and Build Loving Bonds for Life $25 A groundbreaking, counterintuitive parenting approach to create deep, empathic bonds with problem children.Achild and family therapist for more than twenty years, Jennifer Kolari began her career working with children suffering from severe behavioral problems. That experience taught her an invaluable lesson—it wasn’t “tough” discipline that helped these kids change their behavior and build self-esteem. It was unending compassion and empathy. Now, Kolari applies these lessons in her work with all families—even those who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling with the challenges of difficult or extremely defiant children. Empathy lies at the heart of Kolari’s Connected Parenting philosophy.What sets this book apart is Kolari’s proven step-by-step CALM program (Connect, Match the Affect of Your Child, Listen, and Mirror) that will support parents and help them implement true empathy in any situation—even during temper tantrums. Empathy goes beyond listening well—Kolari offers interactive behavioral and verbal techniques such as mirroring and nonverbal methods like regular play interaction that can reduce conflict dramatically and deepen the connection between a parent and child. Kolari then shows parents how to develop foolproof strategies for setting limits and changing negative behavior for good.Powerful and inspiring, Connected Parenting includes incredible stories from families who have experienced miraculous transformations—often in just a few weeks—using Kolari’s parenting approach. It is a dynamic blueprint for bringing peace and loving connections into any family for life.

Conquest of a Fairy $5.11 What’s a half-fairy/half-mortal twenty year old girl to do? For Saoirse, the choice is simple–go to the world of the mortals and have a lovely adventure. What she didn’t count on, though, was becoming possessed by the Lianhan Sidhe, the same love fairy who took possession of her mother. Once the Love Sidhe gains control of a fairy, the poor fairy has no choice but to seduce the first man who comes along. If the man succumbs, as Saoirse’s father did, he is doomed to death, but if he resists, the possessed fairy becomes his slave. Luckily for Saoirse, the first man she comes across is Angus–a strong-willed Irishman who will do anything to drive the Sidhe out of Saoirse. What’s the mother of a half-fairy/half-mortal girl to do when her only child is trapped by the same powerful Sidhe she once was? Having travelled the same road, perhaps Morganna can help her daughter exorcise the Lianhan Sidhe. What she didn’t count on, though, was meeting Pat, the brother of her first love. Pat likes a woman who knows her place and is willing to enforce his expectations with sound discipline when needed!

Discernment: Educating the Mind and Spirit $6.95 Discernment-the quality of mind that analyzes and perceives accurately the nature of something and then forms a thoughtful and accurate judgment about it-is not something chanced upon or casually adopted. Discernment is a facet of the mature person, of a certain temperament, who can see through the superficial and illusory to the heart of the matter. While relying, to a certain degree, on innate intelligence and curiosity, discernment needs to be cultivated. It requires discipline and education. Discernment reveals the challenges of the relationship between teacher and student and parent and child and demonstrates how both are reflective of, and instrumental in, the cultivation of the spiritual life. Buddhist nun Yifa shows how discernment can help us handle desire and pride astutely, enabling us to negotiate such tricky, practical concerns as property and money with integrity and forethought. Using stories gathered from many Buddhist sources, Yifa wittily and incisively explores what it means to nurture consideration, deliberativeness, and acumen, both within yourself and with those who might be under your care.

Discipline Without Anger $13.7 Child Psychologist Jerry Adams recognizes that many parents rely on restrictions, yelling, or spanking for discipline but that they rarely see lasting changes for their efforts. They are frustrated and discouraged with their children’s behavior, but they are unsure how to make their discipline work.To help parents effectively discipline their children without relying on punishment, Dr. Adams has written Discipline Without Anger: A Parents Guide to Teaching Children Responsible Behavior.
