Take Away Privileges. Have the child sit in a boring place. Acknowledge correct behavior as soon as it is displayed. Model Correct Behavior. Children are very observant and tend to follow your actions more often than your words.
Children often try to get attention by acting badly.
Show a Different Point of View. Emphasize that it is the behavior you do not like - you still love the child. Use Logical Consequences. Involve the child in identifying what will help him or her learn not to make the same mistake again. Allow Expression of Negative Feelings.
