Maintain open communication with your child. Consistently and firmly enforce rules and explain the reasons for the rules in words your child can understand. Still, you can listen well to your child's protests about having to take a national test or measles shot. Teach understanding and empathy by calling your child's attention to the effects of his or her actions on others. Invite the child to see the situation from the other person's point of view.
Healthy children feel remorse when they do something that hurts another.
Authoritative discipline helps them develop an internal sense of right and wrong. Remember, a little guilt goes a long way, especially with a child. Next, I saw you take her doll. Then she came and hit you, and you hit her back.
