Are you struggling with discipline?
If your answer is YES – you could be making these 3 mistakes.

Mistake 1 – Giving SILENT TREATMENT instead of shouting
Silent treatment results in - 
1. Your child purposely misbehaving to make you shout
2. Your child making the same mistake again because you have not taught them how to correct their mistake

Mistake 2 – Giving REWARDS instead of punishment
Giving rewards results in –
1. Your child losing the motivation to do anything without a reward. This means you have to shout more.
2. Your child throwing more tantrums and demanding more things

Mistake 3 – Giving CONSEQUENCES instead of punishment
If you decide the consequences – it is a punishment.
Giving consequences results in – 
1. Your child lying to get what they want
2. Your child fighting with you to get what you have taken away.

QUICK FIX discipline techniques only result in more indiscipline.

So how do you discipline your child?
1. Understand why your child made the mistake
2. Teach them how to avoid making the mistake next time
3. Show them how to fix what has gone wrong this time.

Focus on BRAIN BUILDING instead of BEHAVIOUR CHANGE.
