Discipline should be positive and consistent from "summary" of The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family by Wendy Sunshine,David Cross,Karyn Purvis
When it comes to disciplining children, it is important to remember that our goal is to teach and guide them, not to punish or shame them. Discipline should be seen as a positive tool for helping children learn how to navigate the world around them. This means that discipline should be done in a way that is constructive and supportive, rather than punitive. Consistency is key when it comes to disciplining children. Children thrive in environments where they know what to expect and where there are clear boundaries. When discipline is inconsistent, children can become confused and anxious, not knowing what is expected of them. By being consistent with our discipline, we are providing children with a sense of safety and security. It is also important that discipline is done in a positive manner. This means focusing on positive reinforcement and rewards, rather than simply punishing negative behavior. By highlighting and praising positive behavior, we are encouraging children to continue making good choices. Positive discipline also helps to build a strong and trusting relationship between parent and child. In order to effectively discipline children in a positive and consistent manner, it is important for parents to set clear expectations and boundaries. Children need to know what is expected of them and what consequences will follow certain behaviors. By communicating these expectations clearly and consistently, parents can help their children understand the reasons behind the discipline. It is also important for parents to remain calm and patient when disciplining their children. It is natural for children to make mistakes and test boundaries, and it is the role of the parent to guide them through these challenges. By staying calm and patient, parents can help children learn from their mistakes and grow into responsible adults.- Discipline should be seen as a tool for teaching and guiding children, rather than as a way to control or punish them. By approaching discipline in a positive and consistent manner, parents can help their children learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment.
