Tips & Warnings
- Model the behavior you want your children to exhibit by picking up your personal items and putting them away. Even make comments out loud about putting your things away
- Try making a game out of cleanup or offer a reward such as going outside or painting
- Remain neutral in tone of voice and posture when following through with a consequence. Children can read frustration and anger and sometimes act negatively because of it
- You may have to change consequences periodically if they fail to be effective
- Consult a professional family doctor if you experience extreme frustration or anger when disciplining your child.
