what is the best disipline for children under 5?

Answers:
Get on their level and explain to them why they are in trouble. DO NOT yell. Use a calm voice. Set them in time out (a minute for each year they are. 1yr=1min 2yr.=2min and so on). After time out explain what happened again and explain if they repeat this action they will go back to time out. Give them a hug and kiss. and a big I LOVE YOU.
Works for us. Never say you are sorry for punishing them unless you punished them and later found out they did nothing wrong.

TIME OUT FACING THE CORNER

Spank them.

persistence, patience, explain way, never disagree with the other parent, don't cut out your love, but don't reward bad behavior, ignore tantrums.

I'm a strong believe in Time Out! It's hard to teach your kids NOT to hit if you're hitting them!

I would recommend time out, or taking away something that the child loves like a game or a toy for a period of time.

Whip their butt and give them the evil eye look. So when your out and they do something wrong give them that look and they will know what is coming if they don't act right. My dad did that to me and I turned out OK.

THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.....TALKING , TIME OUTS,TAKING THERE TOYS AWAY,NO SPECIAL TREATS,NO GREAT MOVIES,STAYING IN THERE ROOMS....LOTS OF THINGS YOU CAN DO...JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY HAVE DONE....GOOD LUCK

Having to go to the corner always made me really sad. . . Kids today would be walking to the corner saying "***** this ****, i hate this ******* corner and that ******* ***** of a mom too" hahaha im sorry, I've seen some pretty evil kids.

Time out! No TV

You don't dicipline a 14 month old the same way you do a 60 month old. So, age appropriate dicipline is the key.

Avoid the temptation to lecture or swat. Redirect the younger children to something more appropriate. Time out is good about 28 months ... but don't send a kid up the river ... 3 minutes to a younger kid seems like time in Sing Sing.

But real issues, like biting or fighting, need to have a consequence. What ever you do, be consistent ... none of this dicipline of the week stuff.

Anticipation, redirection, and education.

If you anticipate that your child is going to throw a fit, you can be calm and try to redirect so that it's not as bad.
Once kids get to be 2 or 3, you can sit them down, tell them why their behavior is bad, and express your disapproval.

nothing, just try to fill this yopung mind with information and knowledge, values and love. thats all. desipline starts fm 5 onwards.

SPank, put them in time out, then go back and explain why they got spanked. ALso before you spank then ask then if he knows why he is being spanked then spkank, time out, and sit and talk to the child after 10 - 15 mins. They need to think about what they did. But explain after words why they got spanked. And always end it with I LOVE YOU. And make them feel special and loved and important.

Timeout

spanking, the timeout thing is for the birds with my son

I'm so shocked that so many believe in spanking. It is only abusive and teaches children that hitting is okay! To discipline your children, use logical consequences. Let the punishment fit the crime (If they throw something, take it away. If they color on the wall, they need to clean it). Never use time out. It only causes resentment and shame. Don't use rewards (stickers, food). They only work for a short time and come to be expected. If you child is misbehaving say, "I don't not like when you (explain what you don't like)." Take you child gently by the hand, put him or her in a place away from you (bedroom, hallway) and say, "You can come back with me when your ready to behave." When your child returns, say "Thank you for listening. I like your kind behavior." If the behavior happens again, take your child back to the same place and say "Come back when your ready to behave." It may take several tries. Be patient and consistent. Set limits and follow through! Good luck!
