Heaven only knows! I wish someone would tell me.... frighten the life out of them? My little boy thinks he'll go to hell if he swears - I don't really know where he got that idea from but it seems to work quite well

that could work

Sell them on ebay to the highest bidder!! j/k

Wow, that's a tough question, or rather I'm not sure what the behave as if God really means. As in attitude? or bratty? or whatever.

A stern, calm voice combined with lots of patience, and the threat of a good smack-on-the-butt.

DITTO.... emphasis on the SMACK on the ass!
the problem with parents today..they are too lazy to take the time to disipline..they want to be friends to thier kids instead of parents

BIG mistake

Seriousy though (and I'm a nursery teacher too)

There's always a 'reason' for a child behaving badly.

NOTICE and praise the good things they do (it's human nature to pick up on the bad) try to notice just ONE good thing they've done, and tell them how hard they tried .. or whatever

Pay more attention to them, ie read a story, get down and play lego etc.

Positive praise, positive words 'Can you walk nicely?' instead of 'Don't run'

Time out and make sure you FOLLOW THROUGH with it.

Don't let them rule the place, let em know who's boss.

Yes, I know I'm not a parent but I've helped raise 8 cousins now so I know a trick or two!

Basically, you can't let them get away with anything. They get one taste of "power" and that's it.

Set rules and don't let them overcome you no matter how much they scream and carry on.

Temper tantrums should be COMPLETELY ignored. They're all about attention.

Really? I've dealt with a lot and the best thing is to walk away. They stop within 10 minutes or so. Then act like nothing happened.

purplesweat said:

Try when ure really, really tired and ure day hasnt been going so well

Smack Em

How old is the kid?

That pretty much dictates what happens to them.

send them to a priest, they'll take care of them

You put the fear of god in them, as in, perhaps they'll be meeting him next time they fuck up.
