I make sure I'm at there level & not towering above them when I'm telling them off for something....I try not to shout as they just don't listen and I try to stay calm & explaine what they are doing is wrong...

[#6]

I will always remind them to said sorry and thanks. If they are wrong, I will bring them to face to face to said sorry. I also explained to them the reasons. I believe in bring my kids to a confront the problems, they will soon learn to understand and behave themshelves

well for one i always make sure i keep to my word, and always disapline every time never let them think they can get away with it lol, we do sticker charts, the kids love stickers but don't like un-smiley faces  so if naughty they get naughty face if good we do stars stickers etc, and rewards at the end of the week, has work with my 9 year old 6 year old and my 4 year old twins

well to be honest I am really struggling with my disciplining of my 2 and 1/2 yr old at the minute nothing seems to be working and everyone is just telling us to wait it out. However my 7yr old son the best thing that works for him is taking his favourite toys away for a week.

My main tip is don't send out mixed messages (if you allow something once it's very difficult to explain why they can't do it next time).

Always stick to your word, the kids should understand that they won't get what they want by crying, moaning, whingeing or throwing a tantrum.

I always ignore tantrums but always praise and encourage good behaviour. Once the tantrum stopped we can calmly talk things through and share our feelings.

And finally, choose your battles (some things are not really worth all the heartache that might follow).

[#10]

Be clear about what you expect behaviour wise and consistent in your reactions. It sometimes helps to ask them what rules they think should be followed and what punishment is appropriate. Also don't forget to reward good behaviour

[#11]

Start the discipline at an early age, it's much easier! they then learn right from wrong.

"Live by example"

Do not discipline children for anything you do yourself. But if you have to discipline then be consequent. I usually give "time out" on the naughty step and if I say 15 minutes on the step it will be 15 minutes and I don't cave in after 5 minutes. 

Additionally, do not let the kids get away with unruly behaviour just because you have guest or your away from home - it will encourage them to play up in front of an audiance. 

Last not least - don't just give them attention for bad behaviour by disciplining, give them your time and attention when they are behaving well. Make sure you acknowledge day-to-day good behaviour and tell them they can play a board game with you because the have for example they have done their homework so well today.

If you ask them to do something, give them chance to proces it and get up and do it before you ask again. sometimes we are too quick to jump in and tell them off without giving them time to  do it. Count to 10 before you ask again if you need to.
