Being a parent is one of the hardest things some of us will do in our lifetime! Especially when it comes to how we are disciplining our children when each of them has their own personality! To help clarify what discipline is, it is when as parents we take what we learned growing up and teach our children how to behave appropriately. Remember, not listening, or doing something they are not supposed to do, is all part of our children growing up. We have to teach them how to behave and manage their emotions when they don’t want to listen or don’t want to do what we asked them to do.

In this article, we provide guidance that parents can use to discipline their preschool children. We hope that this can help in moments when you are not sure what to do, like when your child is not listening, or when they are doing something you don’t want them to do. We have all been there and at the end of the day, we are all just doing our best.
