No no NO!

My almost 4-year-old has started responding to every request with NO!  He yells and points his finger at us.

It was kind of cute at first and we shouldn't have laughed, but now it's really becoming an issue.  He won't stay in timeout and it's really getting frustrating. nono

I like all the smileys, BTW.

I don't want to spank him but I'm running out of ideas to get him to behave.

Re: No no NO!

There are some really good books on child discipline out there- check them out at the library and it's free.

Try this one:

I read Dr Sears' baby book many years ago and it was helpful. I haven't read The Discpline Book so I can't personally recommend it, but I bet you'll get some good ideas from it.

Re: No no NO!

How did everything work out for you and your 4 yr old? Is the problem resolved?

Re: No no NO!

That's really kind of difficult. I think the best way to do it is talk and talk until he sees the point. Four-year-olds can understand a lot of things already, and he will understand that saying No all the time will do him no good.

Re: No no NO!

Unruly or rowdy children can be very challenging to handle. Set clear boundaries at home and make your child understand that boundaries are supposed to be respected, be stern and firm on what you say and try to earn the respect of your child. If you want to be taken seriously, do what you say and show your children that you mean it. Give your threats a follow-through to make your children realize that breach of rules and boundaries will not be tolerated. Don’t be extremely strict, Excess restriction and nagging might make the child go quiet and recluse.


Kids can grow up too fast these days. It's important for parents to appreciate the fact that playing is essential in a child's development. Parents who spend time playing with their children are more likely to form a positive relationship with them as they grow older. Talk to your child, listen to them and let them know that you're really taking in what they're saying. Make eye contact, use non-verbal communication like smiling, hugging, kissing and touching.

 

There are many different types of parenting styles listed here that may be useful to your kids.
