[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. You want to discipline without punishing (negative consequences) or bribing (positive consequences). I thought the consistent use of consequences was what discipline meant. You don't need to yell and you certainly don't need to be physically abusive, but I don't think you can discipline without the use of some type of consequence. [/quote] Well, there's boundary setting. And natural consequences. We don't punish or bribe our children, but we also don't let them walk all over us. OP, I would work on one thing at a time. Getting up from the dinner table? "Oh, it looks like you're done with dinner since you're getting up. Please take your plate into the kitchen." Also: how much physical activity is he getting? My 5 year old is CONSTANTLY moving and it can be obnoxious if it's, say, in the kitchen or dining room. So we try to fit in as much outside time as possible and that has seemed to help. Good luck![/quote]
