Expect
too much
Mistake number two – we expect too much from our
children. In order to teach your kid something, it might not be a bad idea to
start acting like a teacher. The young children haven’t developed impulse
control and this is why in many cases the parents assume their children know
more than they do. Actually, when your child breaks a norm you need to remind
yourself that he or she is not trying to be a pain – the kid just doesn’t know
how to behave due to its early stage. Give examples with other children who
behave more appropriately depending on the situation, also try explaining things
in a simple way. For example, if you are sitting in a church and the kid shouts
try saying something like “You don’t have to shout here, if you want something
from me, just come and ask me quietly”.
Shouting
As soon as we hear our children chasing each other
around the house we might get really annoyed and start shouting – this is a
mistake that should not be done and it is really bad for the children. You need
to learn to ignore such things selectively. When your kids do something that
you don’t like, it doesn’t mean you have to be the bad guy and shout. Try
understanding them and try to be more attention-giving. It is always better to
explain in plain voice, rather than just shouting.
“Talking
without action”
The next mistake is the so called “talking without
action”. We often say “Turn off the TV, seriously!” but if the child does not,
all we do is nothing. This encourages the bad behavior of the kid. This is why
you need to set the limits and follow them through. Second chances, nagging,
negotiations – all those things are optional, but if you want to learn your kid
to behave well, just set the limits.
Forget
that every child is different
We assume that things which work for one kid will work
for another. This is the type of mistake that is probably most common. The best
way to fix this mistake is to develop a diverse toolbox. It is always easy to
blame your kid if your discipline technique fails, but what you really need to
do is to learn how to treat your kids in a different way depending on the situation.

semisal ia menyuruh anaknya untuk tidak menonton tv karena di suruh belajar..malah orang tua nya..asyik2an nonton sinetron...hehehe :)
I know most moms to be like these. I thought it was part of being a good disciplinarian, but I guess not. When I become a mom, I'll make sure not to make these mistakes.
