Being too negative

The first mistake that most moms make is being too negative. “Stop pulling the dog’s tail”, “Don’t hit your brother!”. If you give this a thought you will see that you tell too many negative things and not-to-dos to your child. Don’t worry – this can be fixed! For example, you should start asking for the behavior you want to see. Naturally, there is no person who wants to raise children who doesn’t understand limits, but this doesn’t mean you will have to forbid everything. So instead of forbidding something, try asking the kid to go for the type of behavior you want to see. For example, instead of saying “Don’t stand in the bathtub”, you can try and say “We have to sit in the bathtub because it is really slippery”.

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.

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.
