How do you teach your kids to behave?

i always keep my promises and do what i say i'll do.when my child misbehaves i can see what he has to say.This is a matter of importance and it cannot be settled cursorily.i would like to be his good friend.

I will let her go to another room and think over alone,give up her favourite games and food for some days.

yes i teach my kid to behave like this. it's parents respnsibility to tell them about discipline and goo manner.

I have always told my children this is how it is. It's my job to set boundries and to enforce them. It's their job to break them. When they do, there is time out, there is writing about what they did wrong and how they could have changed it to have diffrent results, there are restrictions put on things they love doing and when it's the worse things they can do at their age, (lying or hitting) then there is a swat on the bottom. Capital punishment for Capital offenses.

One of the most important and best way to teach your children how to behave correctly, or any thing else really, is to set a good example! Believe me a child copies a lot. Especially the parents, the influence the child greatly, particulairly in the early stages of it's life. So if you do not want your child to do, say or think certain things, neither should you!
