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.
