how to maintain right discipline?

There is no magic answer.\nWhat is it that experienced teachers do to keep good order? It might be to do with thorough preparation and oganisation, praise, reward, engagement with pupils, talking with pupils rather than to pupils, listening, humour, quick response to signs of disorder, consistency, sparse use of punishment and clear boundaries, etc. The list is long!\nExperience is a major aspect as is working in the same place for some years.\nAnybody will get fed up and restless with a diet of uninteresting, meaningless, academic stuff - especially if they can't understand it.\nEverybody responds well to stuff they enjoy, do well at ,is interesting and is relevant.

Make a list. Do one thing at a time and tick them off. You will be surprised how quickly they get ticked off. Once you concentrate on one at a time and stop worrying. Better to do most of them than worry and do known.

Discipline.  The mind, which is associated with the human brain, is but a tool.  To get the maximum use out of any tool, one must practice.\n\nReading helps.  Working puzzles helps.  Answering questions helps.  Asking good questions helps.

develop a simple set of rules. nothing too extensive, but so it covers main points you would be in trouble with:\n\n- cleaning;\n- friends/boyfriends/girlfriends staying over;\n- disturbance.\n- if you are not a very close-knit group, have a house-meeting once a month. if there are not any problems to discuss, you can just hang out nicely; and if, unfortunately, there are, you know everybody will be there to discuss them.\n\nDon't overdo it, you don't want to pass as a control freak :) But do be serious about it. In a month or so, everybodo gets used and it will be comfortable.\n\nFinally, once in a while, it is wise to let a thing or two slide. If you let others enjoy themselves, when they really want to, they will do the same for you.

That's a tough one. I don't know how you handle discipline in your house but something that has worked for me (I am the primary care taker for my boyfriend's two children who are both from different unions) is using a good marble/bad marble system. I know it sounds kinda corny at first, but, you make a customized fair list of the behaviors that are not acceptable (whining and petty tattling is on our list) and they get a bad marble (btw we have pickle jars labeled good and bad) anytime they exhibit these behaviors and if they get too many (say 5 or more depending on how minor or major they are) they get restricted from a privilege. However, it wouldn't be any fun if they didn't get rewarded when they are behaving so you can make a list or decided on a moment to moment basis if they are being good (sharing, doing things when told, remembering to put a plate in the sink etc.. whatever works for your household) and if they get so many good marbles I let them make a list of a few fun things we can do around the house for 30 minutes, and another short list of things we could do that would cost a little more that we would have to drive to or something like a small toy and I reward them weekly with something fun for being good and helping me out.  You may need to do it as a daily system. I used to use it daily but now that the boy is older and better behaved we only have to use it weekly now. Sometimes children just need a little guidance and to know what the rules are, and to know what is unacceptable and when they can see that their behavior is not good consistently and they are rewarded for being good they will want to change.. especially if you make a big deal out of them being good.  Good Luck... hope this helps or gives you some ideas anyway.

Make yourself a check list in a small note pad.\nMark off the things that you do.\nWhen you worry about it you can go back to your list and make sure you've marked it off.\nIts all about control.  You can regain control by having visible verification that you did what you were suppose to do.

Self-discipline is very important.  One must keep track of responsibilities and find time to meet them properly.  On the other hand, we need time to open up to new possibilities.  We need time to appreciate life and others.

Routine is essential. That is, simple, consistent routines. \n\nThey should be very specific, including (for example) when to take of shoes after school and exactly where to put them. That way shoes never get lost in the morning. When to eat, and how much.\n\nAny chore obligations should be written out, timetabled and strictly adhered to.\n\nSimple strategies for helping kids with ADHD:\n- Make sure your child is looking at you before you talk\n- Give short, clear instructions – one or two steps at a time\n- Use visual support for instructions, like a whiteboard or checklist\n- Have consistent daily routines\n- Establish some simple rules for behaviour at home\n- As much as possible, minimise situations that make your\nchild unnecessarily stressed\n- Praise your child for good behaviours and try to ignore minor irritations\n\nPlease email me for further information: tim0huxley@yahoo.com.sg\nand I will send you the details of some excellent contacts.

Write down a plan or your intentions on a piece of paper with the time at which they should be started and completed. That sounds easy, but the most important thing is sticking to it. And also, make it a habit to do this.

Hi Vashes,\n\nChildren of quite a young age cannot be dealt with force. \nYour daughter needs to start giving respect to her school and studies. This kind of discipline does not sprout all of a sudden. Your child will generally follow your example. Maintain a disciplined decorum in your home. Things like "get up at 6", " Fold your bedspread", "Brush your teeth", "Place your brush in the stand", "eat at the dining table", "study at your study table", etc should be slowly inculcated in her. You should give her own private space where she can maintain her things and also study. This kind of ambience would influence the kid and would help her respect her school and studies. Link her performance with rewards like " a trip to the amusement park", "holiday in a farm", etc. Its a slow process and instead of commanding her to do all these things, estabilish it to her that its her responsibilty to take care of these things.\n\nRegards\nVj

Establish priorities.\n\nHave a daily schedule as specific as you need it.  YOu might even need 5 minute chunks to start.\n\nHave a big master schedule for when assignments are due, appointments, tests, etc.\n\nDe-clutter your environment.   Often we are distracted and taken off task by "stuff" around us.  Try to keep things tidy. \n\nSet realistic short term goals for yourself.  Write them down.\n\nStop doing unnecessary stuff.  Sometimes we try to do too much.  But don't put off the hard stuff that really must be done - no time like the present - get it done now.\n\nPlan your day.\n\nAsk for help when it is reasonable, but don't expect too much of others.\n\nAs much as possible do your study in day light hours.  Research suggests taht one hour of study in day light is equal to about an hour and a half of study after dark.\n\nTake short breaks.  Generally marathon work sessions don't work for most people.  But make sure you end your break on time.  \n\nThis one might sound silly, but get enough rest.\n\nDo the most difficult things when you are most alert, not when you are tired.\n\nDo the most important stuff first.\n\nSchedule some exercise and relaxation time everyday.  It will energize you.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck!

Get some motivational tapes, or keep a list of goals in sight.  Also, it helps to create a routine.  Put a picture of something you want to reward yourself with, up somewhere so you can see something you are working toward.
