ABC’s Supernanny and author of Supernanny: How to Get the Best from Your Children reveals her rules to making sure your child gets a good night sleep.
From MSN.Lifestyle
“Step One: Time for Bed
Take your child to their bedroom. Read a bedtime story, give them “kisses and cuddles” and tuck them in.
Step Two: Tough Love
Sit down on the floor or in a chair parallel to your child’s bed so he or she can see the side of your face. As hard as it may be, bow your head and ignore their efforts to talk to you. It is important not to engage your child with eye contact.
Step Three: Stay In Bed
If your child climbs out of bed, return them to bed with no eye contact.
Step Four: Distance Yourself
Each night, move further and further away from the crib or bed. This pattern gives your child a sense of security in their bedroom. Supernanny Jo Frost says children stay up at night to get the attention from their parents that they missed out on during the day. “The key message here is,” says Jo, “if you spend time with your child during the day you’re not neglecting him by putting this routine in place during the night.”
We know that saying goodbye to your child is hard, but we also know that the reassurance that you’re leaving them in proper hands can help. Choosing the right daycare begins with asking the right questions. In this video, WatchMojo.com speaks with Evelyn Wajcer and Kathy Collins from K.I.D.S. to learn what to look for and what to ask when choosing a preschool for your little one.
Only on Ebay can you punish your kid publicly and make money doing it…legally.
According to MomLogic.com
A Canadian man wanted to punish his son bigtime. So, he decided to not give him his Christmas present, the hard-to-get Guitar Hero III. Instead, the enterprising father put it up for sale on Ebay with a post explaining why:
“I came home from work early and what do I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot in the back yard.”
It worked. Someone plunked down almost $10,000 for the coveted video game. Quite a lot, considering Guitar Hero III retails for only $90. That makes an eBay sale a much better discipline tactic than a tired old grounding— because, then what do you get? Just a disgruntled teenage in your house 24/7.
Here are other ways you can harness the power of the World Wide Web and discipline your child at the same time. Who knows, you might win a Webby Award!
