Join me over at MomLife Today for 10 Timely Tips on Raising Teens!
When my children were small I would discipline them by giving them a time out on a chair set aside, then, as they grew older it was to their room they would go for a time out. But when they were about ten years old, it was a time out on the sofa or a dining room chair. Teens and preteens get to a stage where they tend to isolate from family and sometimes friends. Don’t send them to their rooms – it allows for isolation and stinkin’ thinkin’. We have to teach our children to combat negative thinking early on. Don’t give the devil a foot hold. Make sure they know it’s the behaviour not the child you don’t like.
Thanks.
