Don’t get involved in power battles: Several times you might feel that your child is indulging in battles or fights with you only with the purpose of proving you wrong.

Never lose your calm: No matter what happens, never lose your calm. As a matter of fact, sometimes children even enjoy when the elders lose their calm and eventually fall for their tantrums. Thus, it is important that you keep calm and http://www.motherszone.com/

stay in a good mood, irrespective of the mistake your child might have done. Don’t lose your control and tell them outrightly what wrong have they done and the behaviour should not be repeated in future.

However, make it certain that the place that you choose for time outs must not be a dangerous one as your child’s safety is of paramount importance. Tell your child clearly what have they done wrong and ask them to go to the time out spot without making any fuss. http://www.motherszone.com/
