Depending on the age depends on the best method. That and you know your child best. Sometimes a time out where you can keep an eye on them (sit on the couch with no tv) is a good way to handle it, and sometimes a child will become too emotional for that. The best thing to do is to learn what their currency is and make sure they get plenty of it while they are behaving that they wouldn't want to lose it when they misbehave.

Time outs work well. Also rewarding good behavior and not the bad behavior. Taking away something they love until they make up for the disproved action.

Letting them know that when you do "this bad thing" you will no longer be able to do "these fun things" if they are old enough to understand that. Children love to be free and have fun so for them the worst punishment isn't always spanking sometimes it's not being able to do the things they love. Most times, that is the best way to get through!

Get their undivided attention, get on their level (not hovering over them), talk to them calmly, and tell them what they did wrong and ask them what they could have done differently. Repeat x2. If the problem persists, find other things the child can do to redirect their pent up energy.

Having time outs work wonders! Explaining why they are in time out, helps the child understand. Praising their good behaviour will make them think that if they do something naughty, they won’t get the reward - they’ll get the time out! :)

Use words,not too harsh words.But words that will make them understand.Understand what you're trying to tell them.We don't want a crying child do we?

Well, you can put them in time out, take away things they like to play with or use, Ground or restrict them from going to a friends. etc.

I am 100% against using any physical force against a child, there is always the option of taking away something they enjoy such as television during the week. The best way that I have seen and believe is to start an early age of properly teaching them right from wrong while giving them the explanations as to why so they can understand and not want to do what is wrong.

Letting them make the mistakes instead and making them come to terms with consequences make it stand
