Question

How do u punish your child when they are completely acting out of hand?

Answer 1

It depends on the age!

With my 8 year old I pull him aside and try to talk to him...

I explain why it's not allowed.. and if he acts that way again He will get a spanking or be grounded!!!

With my 4  year old.... I have to be very stern and take her from the situation... I have to tell her what she did wrong, and ask if she wants a time out! She says no, I then say well then this is not ok for you to do and you have to tell mommy your sorry!

Always let your child know what he/she did.. why its not allowed and what will happen if it continues or happens again!

ALWAYS make them apologize!!!!

Answer 2

I give the warning.. If it really gets out of hand. I take them to the restroom(for a spanking). If that doesn't do , they don't get any treat nor do they go shopping with me for a while. I get a babysitter, they stay home and will have homework done by the time, I get back & room cleaned up..I do bring a treat home for them, if they have these 2 things done.They have to earn the privilege to go  back in public. They are people not  animals and they are going to act like it.

Answer 3

He goes to time out, but sometimes I will send him to his room for a few hours or for the night if he is really bad. If you are out there are corners in restrooms they can stand in.

Answer 4

don't take them to the car wash and power wash them like that woman in Florida ... that's for sure!  

just don't give in to their demands you enable them everytime and they will have no reason to stop acting like that.

Answer 5

Well I don't have kids. But if I did I would do the same as my mother. I would just take them out of public. When we got home I would just cool off. Then depending on the severity of the acting up it could be losing toys for a certain time period, getting grounded, or if it is really bad pop the butt. My mom never spanked us in anger. She waited hours and sometimes days to do it. But I turned out okay. I know some people don't agree with spanking but I think it's necessary sometimes.

Also, my dad spanked me one time, just once. It was because I talked back. I never ever did it again. Had that not happened I would have probably done it repeatedly but he put me in my place as a child.

Answer 6

I take them out of the situation, leave the shopping cart there, and go to the bathroom or the car.  My child can act up as much he wants there, and when he is through, I decide whether to finish our trip or whether to go home.

Answer 7

it depends on what they did, if they are acting very rude in public take them back to the car or to the bathroom give them a talk then, decide on a punishment, for something small put them on timeout, in the middle time out plus a early bed time if they are supper bad tme out early bedtme for 3 days and no tv or take away something they really like

Answer 8

remove them from the area, situation then calmly ask them why are they acting this way. Or distract them into another

interest. Or come up with the ideas yourself and make it a big deal. i.e. say with lots of ethusime " hey guess what you can do? (then have a exciting thing to do, that they haven't do before)or Look at this new coloring book with new color crayons. Go to a dollar store and get some toys (inside or outside.)for such times. this also works if your traveling.

Answer 9

Beat the c**p out of them! lol

Well if there older than 9 ground them

Less then that SPANK EM

Answer 10

My kids usually do this at home. I try (very hard) to keep calm and keep my voice stern and low. Then I put them in a time out equal to their age, longer if they can't calm down in that amount of minutes.

Try to react the same way every time, so they will learn what to expect. It's tough! (Sometimes I have to reward myself with ice cream after they go to sleep! haha!)
