I designed this blog to encourage parents to be patient with their kids. I also designed this page for married couples who don’t have kids but want to have kids to be careful of what you are getting yourself into. Now I don’t say be careful of what your getting yourself into to fear you because children are truly blessings from God but to help you think twice and to prepare you for what your getting yourself into. Do you remember that time when you were a kid and your parents use to say, “I can’t wait to you have kids because what you did to me your children are going to do to you”? Well that is actually true. When I was a kid, I was a very bad kid that nobody wanted to babysit. I would curse at my babysitters, spit on them, kick, and basically do anything and everything that I wanted to do and not what I was told to do. I now experience that with my own child and she is only two. She is experiencing the terrible twos and boy does that require a lot of patience. I mean this child talks back to me when I tell her not to do stuff. She goes to school biting people when she can’t have her way. When we go in public, she goes up and down the ales picking up everything she sees and then falls out when she can’t have the toys she wants. I mean this child literally drives me crazy. And if you have children around the same age I’m sure you can relate. Well today I want to encourage you to be patient with them and not to allow them to still your joy. I know when they act out the first solution that comes to mind is to just whip them or for some parents beat them, but you can’t do that so don’t even try. When your child is acting out in public please, please, please don’t beat them in public. I say don’t beat them in public because you never know who is watching you. The Child Protection Agency could be watching you and the next thing you know they are taking away your child. I suggest that when children act out you should take three simple steps to discipline your child.
The first suggestion I have to say is to take the child to a corner and put them in time out for three minutes. If the child refuses to stay put , them you pick him or her up and take them back to the corner. Always be sure to let the child know why they are in time out and explain to them why what they did was wrong.
The second suggestion to discipline a child is to work them out. I don’t mean to literally take them to a gym and make them use the machines but to put their body’s in uncomfortable positions. For example, make your child bend down touching their toes with one foot up in the air. As the child is doing this, make them say I won’t do whatever the reason is that they are on punishment for. The child will scream his or head off but don’t give in.
The third suggestion is to tell your child that you don’t approve of their behavior. All children want attention. All children also want your approval. By letting them no that you don’t approve of their actions they will stop disobeying you because they want to please you.
