What is the best way to lovingly discipline a child?

1. To set consistent boundaries - this makes the child feel safe and comforted in the environment. 2. To allow the child to learn lessons, for example another child takes their toy away... if age appropriate ask the child how that felt and soon they will begin to recognise how it feels when they do that to others. 3. Time outs and make the child apologise and be accountable for their actions but in a positive way. Above all just nurture them but of course the discipline is so important too.

Sit down so that your eye is in level with the child's and talk to him/her in a soft tone and explain instead of command.

By setting clear bounderies. Speaking to a child with respect. Giving the child a way to choose how to behave.

Practice what you preach... make them understand why you want them to act a certain way and most importantly understand why they do what they do. They are little people with their own logic sometimes making more sense than what ours adult ways. Either ways It is okay for them to mess up and also for us to not be able to do the right thing all the time. I think it’s more having a conversation when one things there is scope for none. Ensuring compassion when the patience is running out and forgiving everyone involved. Ourselves and children.
