Effective Discipline Strategies

By Dr Preksha Yadav - Updated: May 27, 2022

Age of preschoolers wherein are sweet, gullible and imaginative; it is necessary to impart discipline to them. It is not about giving the kids consequences to understand and adopt; instead, it ensures that they gain the skills they need to become responsible adults. Encouraging them for good choices and teaching them to manage their emotions are a few key fundamentals of the discipline.

Also, it keeps the child safe and instils confidence in them simultaneously. They might struggle with emotional regulations because they are still learning to get along with others. Making them practice their social skills helps them in soothing and gain a little mastery over their temper tantrums.

Disciplining one’s child might be challenging at times. Anger, grief, anxiety, stress, and even tears are common, yet good discipline is one of the most crucial aspects of a child’s development. Such unpleasant conversations will make life simpler for both parents and children in the long run. Discipline is about instilling in children a set of principles that will serve them well throughout their lives. Self-control and the decision-making process are a few domains of improvisations in a child via discipline tools.

It is a parent’s job to keep their child thinking about the consequences, whether through a casual conversation or a playing activity. Always remind them to do the right thing, reinforce their behaviour, reward them for being kind and acknowledge their behaviour timely.

Punishment is never a healthy tool but rather a stressful process for the entire family. It is indeed an opportunity to empower the child through a good approach. Teaching them to treat people the way they want to be treated is the golden rule. Hence, inducing adaptive discipline strategies is an essential aspect over the long haul for a child.
