Consistancy people Consitancy!!!!

by peachynowamum

(September 2006) (rank 24th)

Children need consistancy! People wonder Why kids don't behave it is because when it comes to discipline there is no consistancy. For example my mother inlaw has a 6 yr old B. One day it's sort of ok for her to do something the next day shes getting punished for it

and then the following its ok again. This girl doesn't know what she is allowed to do and what she isn't. its a wonder people see her as a brat. She doen't know what shes doing wrong!!!! For the longest time I kept harping on to her about following through with punishments and being consistant with the rule but all she said was that i would not know as i had no kids. Well now i do and my opinions still stick. be consistant or they will never learn till its to late.... Oh yeah another helpful hint: Don't do what i did people dont like being told how to raise their child!!!

Absolutely!!!

As a Pre-School Teacher i see so many parents that aren't consistant and wonder why their child is so difficult. they will then come to us for help but won't follow through. It's happening more and more......

Consistancy is the key

I've always been consistant with my daughter right from the start, and that's why i think she hardly plays up, and when she does, i don't mind as i know she's a good child 95% of the time. We both love consistancy and routine follows in there also.

Excellent advice...

Nothing is more confusing to a child if they get away with something one day then the next it is taboo...

Yup

Another problem I have is family who might be around smiling at the naughty thing the child has done, the child thinks it's funny I had a lot of trouble with bub going back to do the same thing after that family member left. Children respond strongly to smiles and happiness.

Good on you.

I totally agree with you there. Always have to say NO to the same thing. children do get confused quite easily.

I agree

You have to consistant or they will never know right from wrong. It's just like saying no don't push your brother, than the next yeah it's ok. Not in my books. I am really consistant when it comes to my kids.

For your other remark, I think it is all how you approach someone and how you say it to someone. My suggest some pointers instead.

Anyway great advice.
