How do you respond when your child breaks something?
Take Your Child to Calm Time. If you’ve given your child a reprimand and she destroys property again, repeat the reprimand and take her to Calm Time to calm down and take a break from doing behavior you told her not to do. When she’s calm, you can talk with her about the rule about taking care of clothes, toys, etc.
How do you deal with a child who doesn’t care about consequences?
Be clear about expectations: Give kids a chance to succeed by reminding them what is expected of them. Embrace natural consequences: When the punishment is specific to the offense and logical, kids have a better chance of modifying their behavior. Praise the right actions: Don’t just punish the wrong behaviors.
What happens if a child doesn’t get disciplined enough?
Not enough discipline can leave children feeling insecure and parents feeling out of control. Too much negative discipline, and not enough praise and rewards, might get children behaving well, but out of fear. This can lead to problems with children’s self-esteem and anxiety later in life.
How long should you punish your child?
Experts say 1 minute for each year of age is a good rule of thumb; others recommend using the timeout until the child is calmed down (to teach self-regulation). Make sure that if a timeout happens because your child didn’t follow directions, you follow through with the direction after the timeout.
How do you help a disruptive child?

- Respond to disruptive behavior with things such as quiet time or a time-out.
