Lve to help if I can. Can you give us all a little more informaion?

You dont say what sort of bad behaviour or what age group or even if this person has any special needs.

I tell mine (11) that if I find her behaviour inappropriate then I will tell her and hope she listens to me because I only want nice comments from people. I correct her behaviour and speak to her about it, if she listens great if she doesnt then I withdraw certain things or make her stick to me like glue. She hates this as she is a strong spirited child not to mention active so I use this to my advantage and let her know that this is punishment for her actions that she was warned against and when I feel she has proven herself she can go back to what ever but not back to the behaviour or what casued it. I t doesnt always work and sometimes I send her to timeout for my sanity as well as calming her down and reafirming that it is a punishment for negative behaviour.

Hi there, it is a bit of a tough one to handle as you haven't stated whether you are talking about an adult or a child, toddler or baby... See the find stuff at the top right hand corner?  Do a search on your specific topic there and hopefully you will find some articles and discussions that will help you while you wait for replies.

I have a three year that push's me to my limit's, but I have found a new way to get my boy to behave better. And that is sit him down and ask him, why he miss behaving for, that way he will realise that you are listening to him. you see kids only play up, because they need something,or want something done, so they play up. I hope this helps.
