What's Your Discipline Technique?

By , About.com Guide   January 26, 2012

This morning I caught my older son lining up his cars. He then took a bigger car and had it smash the others. "You can't do that," he told the big one. Then he put the offender into time out under the dining room table.

Hmm...I think he was working through some anger at having been punished for pushing his sister. But I also took note of the way he screamed at the big, smashing car. A little too loud, a little too out of control. Was that me?

It was a reminder that I need to be a bit more patient and calm in how I discipline my little guy. I gave him a hug. Thanks, kid.
