Child discipline is used by parents to teach children the difference between right and wrong. Looking back at their own experience of growing up, parents want to make sure their children avoid the mistakes that they made. Parents use discipline to help their children not to make mistakes that they will look back on as adults and regret.
There are different methods that parents use to can implement child discipline. Whatever methods parents use for disciplining child behavior problems, need to be fair and reasonable. Most parents avoid spanking as a method of child discipline, because of the legal ramifications of child abuse. Spanking as a method of dealing with child behavior can be used, but really only as a last resort , and then with caution.
Here are some ways for implementing child discipline without the use of spanking.
When dealing with a child behavior problem, parents should sit down and talk with their children calmly. It is essential to clearly explain the consequences of bad child behavior should it occur. If parents start to feel angry or frustrated it is important that they take a moment to calm down before discussing the bad behavior with their children. By doing this, parents can avoid reacting to their children with their emotions and can implement consequences calmly.
A discipline technique such as temporarily removing favorite toys, restricting them from watching   television whenever they misbehave  or grounding a child would be a more effective consequence than spanking. An alternative child discipline technique is to give a 'time out'. This works well if children are angry or upset as it helps them to calm down as well.
Prevention of child behavior problems is part of any child discipline strategy. Parents often discover that by spending more quality time with their children, child behavior problems are less frequent. The reason for this is that bad child behavior is a way of getting parents attention. Parents who spend quality time with their children usually can prevent frequently resorting to child discipline methods as their children behave better.
However, don't confuse giving quality time to your child with spoiling them . Parents spoil their children by letting them do whatever they want to do whenever they want, and letting them have their own way to stop them getting upset. Spoiled children respond very negatively when parents do say "No"
These child discipline strategies should be adapted to suit your child's personality. You will soon discover which particular methods are more effective for your child. Prevention is better than reaction for unacceptable child behavior. However when bad behavior does occur, parents need to respond to that with consequences to teach the child that bad behaviour is unacceptable.
