Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I lay down a rule and my kids ignore it because it’s "my" rule they had no say in
- We keep having the exact same blow-up over the exact same thing, and I’m starting to wonder if my kid genuinely doesn’t know how to handle that moment any other way
- I praise my kid constantly
- By the time I actually enforce the thing I said would happen, I’ve lost it
- When my kid messes up I just grab whatever punishment is handy
Practices that may help
- Use family meetings to solve problems together
When children help solve the problem, they own the solution — and solutions they own, they actually follow.
Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen) - Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen)
Positive Discipline, developed by Jane Nelsen and based on Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs’s work, is a parenting and classroom approach that is simultaneously kind and firm — neither permissive nor punitive. Its central premise is that children do better when they feel a sense of belonging and significance, and that most misbehavior is an ineffective attempt to achieve one of these. The approach has strong clinical adoption and is consistent with authoritative parenting research, though controlled trials on the specific Positive Discipline curriculum are limited. - Take time for training — teach the skill, not just the rule
Children misbehave partly because they don’t know how to do the right thing — teach the skill when everyone is calm.
Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen) - Encourage specific contributions and efforts
"You set the table without being asked — that helped the whole family" is more powerful than "Good job."
Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen) - Follow through on the stated consequence calmly and without anger
The consequence teaches; the anger confuses — keep them separate.
Natural and Logical Consequences (Rudolf Dreikurs) - Use logical consequences that fit the behavior
A consequence that is directly connected to the behavior teaches cause and effect instead of just imposing discomfort.
Triple P Parenting (Matthew Sanders) - Use time-out to regulate, not to punish
A restorative time-out is a calming tool the child chooses — not a punishment space.
Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen) - Recognize what is not happening with proactive recognition
Catch the child not misbehaving and name the success explicitly.
The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser) - Spend quality one-on-one time with your child
Fifteen minutes of child-led, uninterrupted attention per day builds the relationship that discipline depends on.
Triple P Parenting (Matthew Sanders) - Be kind AND firm — simultaneously, not alternately
Kind without firm is permissive; firm without kind is authoritarian. The practice is holding both at once.
