There comes a time when every parent struggles with how best to discipline their child. Whether dealing with a screaming child or an angry teen, it can be hard to control your temper. And the bottom line is that shouting and physical violence never help.
Thankfully, there are other, more effective ways and one of them is positive discipline. We consulted Lucie Cluver, a professor at Oxford University, to explore how it can help parents build positive relationships with their children.
Why positive discipline? The evidence is clear: shouting and hitting simply do not work and can do more harm than good in the long run.The "toxic (有毒的) stress" it creates can lead to a host of negative outcomes. "Parentsshout or hit their kids because they're stressed and don'tsee another way," says Professor Cluver.
The good news for every parent is the positive discipline approach works and here's how you can start putting it into practice.
As parents we often focus on our children's bad behaviour and call it out. Children may read this as a way to get your attention, continuing poor conduct rather than putting a stop to it. Actually, children are eager for praise. It makes them feel loved and special. "Watch out for when they're doing something good and praise them," recommends Professor Cluver.
Part of growing up is learning that if you do something, something can happen as a result. Defining this for your child is a simple process that encourages better behaviour while teaching them about responsibility. Give your child a chance to do the right thing by explaining the consequences of their bad behaviour. Being consistent is a key factor in positive parenting, which is why following through with the consequences is important."You can take a teenager's phone away for an hour but taking it away for a week might be difficult to follow through on."
A. And so is making them realistic.
B. What's really important is to focus on your child.
C. No parent wants to find themselves in such a situation.
D. Calm consequences have been shown to be effective for kids.
E. This can encourage good behaviour and reduce the need for discipline.
F. Repeated shouting and hitting can even negatively impact a child's entire life.
G. And hopefully it can also teach skills like responsibility, cooperation and self-discipline.
