Take Respectful Authority Technique-
First, I would like to say that if you don’t see a solution to your child behaviors it doesn’t mean there is not a solution. If you are thinking timeouts and chart ideas won’t work for your child you are probably feeling overwhelmed as a parent and not feeling very in control. You should be the one in control in your home and not the child. Anything can work, if you change it just enough to work well with your unique children’s needs. Shutting off new ideas is really being very narrow minded and may not get you very far. You are the expert in the home, but there are others out there that may be able to be an expert in new ways that you never thought of. To be the most effective parent you need to combine your expert knowledge of your own children to the knowledge of others who may be able to help in other ways. People in all important jobs need some sort of supervision, so a job as a parent should be no exception.
An important lesson for discipline is what I like to call the “Take Respectful Authority Technique”. When you ask your child who is the boss in the house your child should never respond that they are the boss. A child who knows their limits of control in the home will respond that a parent is the boss in the home. Many parents say, “my child always fights with me and talks back all the time.” If you can relate to this statement I would like to ask you, “why are you fighting back with your child?” It makes no sense for an adult to be arguing with a child. Every normal child will question authority, but their questions should not be answered if they are being disrespectful. Smart children always test the limits and argue often but, a parent can still be in control and prevent disrespectful behaviors. Arguing with your child does not get you anywhere and it is rather silly when you think about it.
