FAMILY MATTERS BLOG IS ONLINE!
Some Family Matters questions:
How old should a child be before we start disciplining them and what are some ways to do that?
Sometimes around 1 1/2 you start with a firm no and pat on the hand/butt for safety issues. I am a firm believer of spanking on the bottom. Truly we all know when our child moves from the stage of not knowing he/she is doing something wrong to obviously choosing to disobey.... that is when you get going. I think we start too late on child training and that is a bad move.
We have children in various stages from teen down to toddler. Our oldest has begun using swear words. We just can't seem to get this under control.
You can do some behavior modification: Every time he says a swear word in your presence or the presence of the children then he puts some of his own money in a jar. 50 cents/word. It's immediate and he loses something tangible. Or you can have him do an extra chore on chore day, pick up his siblings rooms (if he is going to dirty the house, he can clean it!). You can be creative with this. I imagine he will stop using them when he has to pay for their use!
If you have questions you would like to see addressed on the blog, or feel would be helpful to other parents, please send those to family@rmcmchurch.org.
