Strange Discipline Rules that Work


Strange Discipline Rules that Work

If you want to control the misbehaviour of your children, you must sometimes use strange and unexpected discipline rules. Sometimes odd consequences can prove useful to handle uncontrollable bad behaviour of children. Have a quick look at the strange discipline rule that may work on your children.

If it is not possible to imbibe good habits in your kids in a straight way, you may try something new and different. These rules may sound unusual sometimes but if they work it will be a jackpot for you, an added bonus actually.
Here are some of those strange rules given which you may have a look on and try at home on your kids.

Do Not Pay Heed to Your Kids When They Behave Badly

It is probably one of the best ways to rectify your kid’s bad behaviour, just to ignore her. Tell her that you do not get her words when she speaks in an unruly manner. Let her blabber as much as she wants, just do not look at her as if you cannot see her. Completely overlook her. After some days you will find she is talking to you politely to make you listen to her carefully. You must also practice what you expect from your child. When she is talking to you in a polite manner you should also communicate in the same way.

Make Your Own Rules of the House

Call all the family members in a place during a convenient time, may be at dinner and announce in front of everyone the time when your work as parent ends every day at night. After that in no circumstances whatsoever you are going to do any household chores. That time should be used for your rest. If your kids listen to you then it is well and good, but if they do not, let them do their work themselves and face the consequences. After some days you will find, everything has fallen into place, and your kids are ready for bed well before the scheduled time.

Do Not Allow Her Beside You

This is strange but to bring your child back to the right track, you need to do this. To make your kids complete their assignments, you can try this strange attitude towards them. Just ask them to do their homework or go away from your side until they do not sit and complete their homework. For the first couple of days they will get off your sight to save themselves from doing homework, but with the passage of time you will notice that they are actually completing their homework to be by your side. After all they are your kids and they love you. They cannot stay for longer, not talking to you. But make sure that you help them with homework when they need your help.

Do Not Allow Kid to Argue Inside the House

When your kids are arguing over something and creating a mess in the house, calmly ask them to leave the house and go outside and shout as much as they want. They will definitely not do this to embarrass themselves, so ultimately they will stop fighting and will calm down in a few minutes. It is better to stop fighting than to invite embarrassment.

Do Not Pamper

This is one of the biggest mistakes that parents often do. Pamper your child so much that it goes out of their hands sometimes later, which is not good. Allow your kid to value things in life. If for example in the dinner table she gets the smallest bowl of dessert by mistake and starts complaining; do not alter her bowl with yours. Let her understand everyone deserves the best things in life sometimes or later. If you continue giving her the best things in life always and are overprotective she will forget to value the petty things in life and will start to belittle them. Teach her to adjust with all situations whatsoever.
Exposing kids to every situation will make them adjust to things which they find easily available at home. So, sometimes strange things are required to be done to make things normal with kids.

Especially the first one. Ignoring works and it also seems to be very hard for parents to do. Parenting is not always about trying to make children DO something. It is also about not reinforcing the things we want them to stop. Attention reinforces. Ignoring does work. Good list here!

The idea of asking argumentative kids to go outside the house is actually good because kids won't go out and they will also stop arguing.
