Stay Calm
Try to stay calm in chaotic situations. Children mirror our actions. When you stay calm in certain situations, they are more likely to follow you.

Offer Limited choices
Don’t give them too many choices to choose from. Instead of commanding, offer them two choices, which will make them do either of the things.

Avoid Time-outs
Traditional time-outs can feel isolating to a child. Instead, try a ‘time-in’ where you sit with your child and help them process their feelings.

Make them feel seen
Sit with your child and try to understand the reason behind their certain behaviour. It is necessary to validate your kid's feelings and acknowledge their perspective.

Teach, don't lecture
Lectures can feel like punishments and may go in one ear and out the other. Instead, turn discipline moments into teaching opportunities, where you make them understand their mistakes.
