my daughter is very naughty, ask her to go and sleep when she does something wrong and hear her begging. well, as for my other babies, they are no trouble at all

Am not married,talkless of having kids. But when i have one,i will surely discipline dem when they misbehave. I dont believe in talking sense to them,can only do that wheen they are teens. If u discipline them from childhood,u wont have problem talking to them when they are teens. Punishments like stool down, ride okada, etc are the best,i swear. I pity those saying they wont punish their kids.

Kobojunkie: Put the oven on at 400 degree farenheit and then tell them to kneel in front of the open oven with their arms stretched out in front.

Garri_is_back: The best way

wandeay: how soldier punish a civilian, exactly!
2 big stones on the head, kneeling down on small stones, 5 strokes of koboko on the back, and no food throughout the next day, finally, sleep in guard room the third day, after released, cleans the compound. . .
No matter how minimal the offence.

haaa

^^True indeed. However some states are more lenient with parental discipline. I remember when I was a child, I had all sorts of attemtped beatings that I ran from. However, there was no running from my father. He got me twice in his life, and I remember them both. The mental scars did not go away until a few years ago. As for my own, I usually take away a favorite activity or toy. The last spanking I gave was probably 2 months ago due to running out of bible study class and disobeying the Sunday school teacher. I didn't mince any words, just took one arm and off we went to the bathroom for a meeting between a hand and bottom. Afterwards, I talked about respect and sent my baby back to class. When I went back after the service, there was my little darling sweeping the floor and asking the teacher if there was anything else that needed to be done

Truth is, pikin wey go useless go useless!

Some kids have never chopped slap, knock or cane before, yet they are the most decent, thoughtful, moral and obedient.

Other kids, you go see mark all over their body, their head don take oblong shape with koko all over from knock and kondo wey dem don chop for head, yet na dem dey bad pass upon all the beating since childhood!

Na just to pray for better pikin wey go get sense. Wey no go need punishment to do the right thing, and if im need small "correction", to accept am and change for the betterment of im future.

The elders have spoken!

I'm sure I won't be jailed for threatening to send my kids to my mother

I tie them upside down like a pendulum,and use koboko to beat their bumbum.

Some of the response really got me smiling. But seriously I know that the OP might have used the word "punish" for ease communication but its so wrong. You correct and discipline your kids.

The major difference is that you set the house rules together (with the kids) and attribute corrective measures like not watching favourite TV shows and doing house chores with mum, spending time in the room among other positive forms of discipline.

We use this in our postive discipline and parenting training and later you see olders kids implementing it even in your absence. Example if you use foul language you say sorry. When the kids are alone, if any of the kids use such word, the others will insist on being apologized to. It is same with violence, if you tell your kids to ride okada when they use foul language, when your not there, the older will make the younger ride your precious okada too as punishment.

Well, I'm not a mum yet, but I'm a guardian. When my younger ones misbehave, for the teens first of all they will be technologically grounded; no phones, tv, movies, music, pc, etc. And to top it all I deny them my smiles and sometimes I beat them too. For the kids, I just threaten to send them to the village, no movies, or I bring out my doctor do good....lol....they sit up big time!

D same way my parent punishd me. KOBOKO, CANE, BROOM STIK TO FLOG ME. SlAP AT TIMES

engrtee: D same way my parent punishd me.

That's my one fear. To turn into my mother. If I become her, God help my kids.

imagine that u r already in love with a gal, or woman, then all of a sudden, someone just put a stop to it. Its painful u know?. So I think ''deprivation'' is a GOOD GOOD one. Thanx, call me whenever u have any other problem to solve. And 4 dis u r welcome. Bye.

When my Son was younger he didnt like to eat so I would threaten him that if he doesnt eat I will give him drugs, that always worked like a charm. Little did i know that my maid had explained to him the benefits of taking drugs and even taken drugs with him one day pretended to like the taste to get him to take his drugs one day, so the boy was over his fear / dislike of drugs. One day, feeding time, he started trouble, i just said 'oya bring medicine this boy doesnt want to eat" the boy looked straight in my eyes and said "yes, let them brring the medicine, i will drink it but I wont eat this food, " I had to change tactics oh

Siena: If my eldest daughter misbehaves, I send her to sit at the bottom of the stairs. No TV, no toys. Generally between 2 and 5 minutes, it works a treat.

this doesn't work for me - My daughter is at that terrible twos stage and right now its a battle and she seems to be winning!! but one thing about her she does not misbehave with other people.

You have to be firm, even when you feel like giving in, hold on, remind youself you are not hurting but helping. Children are very smart they know what they can get away with and from who. My small son plays us like magic, he knows what his father will allow, he knows what I will allow and he knew what his former Nanny will allow. Kids are very smart, be firm, tell her to sit there and tell her why, when she sees you dont respond to her tantrums and screams she will mellow

I will definitely whip my kids if it ever becomes necessary. However there are many ways to discipline children. A little creativity helps.

A note of warning to one of the earlier posters, using chores as punishment only reinforces the belief that chores are to be avoided. Kids should be made to see them as necessary not avoidable calamities.

Efemena_xy: There are some really sick minds on this thread...

And they actually act out their depravity. Heaven help those kids

I tire O! Jeezz... I'm outa here.

Write me a 5,000-word report on the challenges and prospects of Nigeria.

when punishing children it is important to make them understand the purpose of the punishment. there is no use punishing a child without making them understand..they're just going to repeat the same mistake. 'rod' doesn't necessarily mean 'stick' or 'cane'. it could mean a good scolding, detention, or time-out as well. a parent can also deprive them of something they like.

For my five year old, I spank her when she is naughty. For my teenagers, I retrieve their laptops, blackberry phones(which is only available during holidays) and ban them from watching any T.V programmes whatsoever- I actually disconnect the cables and take them with me when going to work so they don't put it on when they return from school

All their spare time is used for reading. It works like magic. They are all so remorseful and behave like angels for a while till ........the cycle starts again.
