6-13 spankings and grounding

Answer 3

Here are a few suggestions on how to help kids learn to control their behavior:

Up to age 2: Infants and toddlers get frustrated by the large gap between the things they want to do and what they're able to do. They often respond with temper tantrums. Try to prevent outbursts by distracting your little one with toys or other activities. For kids reaching the 2-year-old mark, try a brief timeout in a designated area — like a kitchen chair or bottom stair — to show the consequences for outbursts and teach that it's better to take some time alone instead of throwing a tantrum.

Ages 3 to 5: You can continue to use timeouts, but rather than enforcing a specific time limit, end timeouts once your child has calmed down. This helps kids improve their sense of self-control. And praise your child for not losing control in frustrating or difficult situations.

Ages 6 to 9: As kids enter school, they're better able to understand the idea of consequences and that they can choose good or bad behavior. It may help your child to imagine a stop sign that must be obeyed and think about a situation before responding. Encourage your child to walk away from a frustrating situation for a few minutes to cool off instead of having an outburst.

Ages 10 to 12: Older kids usually better understand their feelings. Encourage them to think about what's causing them to lose control and then analyze it. Explain that sometimes the situations that are upsetting at first don't end up being so awful. Urge kids to take time to think before responding to a situation.

Ages 13 to 17: By now kids should be able to control most of their actions. But remind teens to think about long-term consequences. Urge them to pause to evaluate upsetting situations before responding and talk through problems rather than losing control, slamming doors, or yelling. If necessary, discipline your teen by taking away certain privileges to reinforce the message that self-control is an important skill.

=\ My parents didn't use these methods on me. I'm not sure if they'd work. My parents did the guilt-method. They ignored my negative actions, let me wallow in guilt and reflect upon it. It worked for me. I'd end up guilty and apologizing for my actions myself.

Answer 4

Well different kids react differently to different punishments, so it is best to find out what works best for your child. The list I have below is just my personal opinion.

From crawling age to walking: immediately remove hazard from child. Place child in crib or playpen to calm down.

1-5: I would begin with time outs, 1 minute for each year in age. (1 minute for 1 year old, 5 minutes for 5 year old) If that does not work then try taking away toys or favorite things. A combination of these two methods works well. Spanking as a last resort.

5-13: Taking away toys and/or privileges. Grounding towards 9-13 works well too. Turning their bedroom into sleeping only will make them wish they were getting a spanking instead.

13-18: Ah the teenage years. Grounding is the best for these ages. Removal of privileges, gadgets, computer, and confined to their room. No phone calls, etc etc. As the crimes get worse, so does the punishment.
