Discipline measures for children that work other than spanking

Many parents settle on a discipline method just because it's how they were raised — and never give it another thought. But we now know more about the effects of different methods of disciplining than was known years ago.

Spanking can be humiliating for children, can cause anger, aggression, and resentment, can cause physical harm, and often does not teach the lesson you're trying to convey. For these reasons, experts do not recommend spanking.

Helping Kids Learn Self-Control

By learning self-control, kids can make appropriate decisions and respond to stressful situations in ways that can yield positive outcomes.

For example, if you say that you're not serving ice cream until after dinner, your child may cry, plead, or even scream in the hopes that you will give in. But with self-control, your child can understand that a temper outburst means you'll take away the ice cream for good and that it's wiser to wait patiently.
