How Should I Discipline My 7 Year Old?

Your child is at that age when children are really inquisitive about everything, and that is where most of their mischief comes from. They are at an age when they are beginning to comprehend the world around them, and the excitement of discovery, of realization, is something that can be really amazing. This is what makes it a very difficult time for parents.

There are many ways of disciplining your child at this time. Corporal punishment is something that is a definite no-no, because while it may achieve the immediate objective of making your child stop doing whatever mischief he is doing, it also introduces the element of fear directly into his life, and also trauma. The fact that someone who loves them so much can actually be violent can cause intense stress for a kid.

The best way is to use the technique of identifying what is good and what is not. You can also explain to him that good is appreciated and liked, while bad is not too great a thing to be. Take it from there. Frankly, there is no hard and fast manual for disciplining a 7-year old.

Your child age is 7 years so you should not expect the child to always behave because he is not able to understand everything.  He will take some time to understnad.  You should show love to your child but not anger. You should teach to your child.  But you should not give too much money to your child in childhood.

What you should do is talk to him first and let him know how much you love him. Tell him why u r reprimanding him and let him know don't do it again b/c he may get hurt, get into trouble, get you into trouble since u r responsible for him. It depends on what he does. My mom to talk to me on why i shouldn't do certain things and i would listen, but if i chose to do it again, then sometimes she'll take my privileges away (i.e. Favorite toy, video game, football, basketball, etc.,) or she would make me take a nap. It didn't matter if i did or not, but as along as i was laying down. Then she would say if i get out of the bed she would spank me b/c i am on time-out. Sometimes she would even put me in the corner. To make it harder, she told me to stand on one leg and if were to drop that leg then i would get a spanking. Save the spankings for last cuz dat is only teaching your child to be violent, but if u have to spank him/her then do it b/c you don not want your child to run over you. They have to obey u cuz u don't want any delinquents running around or the police at your door telling you dat you need to go to parenting when GOD knows that you r a good parent. I know dis sounds mean, but put a little bit of fear into your child cuz that is how u get their respect b/c if u r too nice then they want take u as serious. Good luck
