Instruction
1. In the first 2 years of life the child hardly can catch relationship of cause and effect between punishment and the offense. At such age the kid should forbid to do only what can do harm to his health or poses hazard to life. Also it is necessary to minimize such bans. As much as possible secure the apartment: get caps for sockets, remove all sharp and fragile objects on the top shelves of cases, get protective corners on furniture. Thus, you will have no need to punish the kid for the broken vase or games with plugs.
2. If the child reaches for a plate, bites, wants to ornament walls or to make something undesirable, try to distract him and offer an alternative. For example, the kid goes with a pencil to wall-paper. Suggest it to draw in an album or on the special poster attached to a wall.
3. While the child was not 3 years old, you can establish no more than 3 strict bans. Decide with other relatives what you under no circumstances do not allow to do to your kid. For example, the child cannot beat your cat and to bite mom. If the kid begins to behave inadmissibly, loudly and with astonishment exclaim: "In our family it is impossible to beat a cat!" - also you leave the room for 2-3 minutes. So the child will acquire that his behavior causes alienation in relatives, and will gradually acquire the ban. Several minutes of loneliness rather severe punishment for the kid if he understood that he is guilty of the event. He can be frightened that all family turned away from it therefore it is not necessary to use too often this method not to break the created attachments.
4. If the child at the age of 3 years is also more senior made a certain offense for the first time, try to restrain and not to punish him. Most likely, he did not know that it cannot be done. Explain to the child what he made not and why so it is impossible to arrive. At repetition of unacceptable behavior deprive of the child something pleasant. For example, in your family it is accepted to go on Sundays to children's cafes, theaters or the amusement park. Warn the child that for bad behavior he will lose such entertainments. Do not use the ban on sweet or animated films as punishment not to create unhealthy thirst for a forbidden fruit at the child.
5. Surely pronounce what the child is punished for. So he will better acquire the rules of conduct adopted in your family. Despite everything, you say to the child that you love him. The kid has to know that you become angry about an act, but do not turn away from it.
