'I think kids who are spanked will be better-behaved': Strict aunt Ya Hui shares views on corporal punishment

The joy of discovery - figuring out what makes each stage easier - is half the battle won. And you're right; the little rewards and sticker charts are such a cute way to encourage the tiny tots without having to dole out actual prizes all the time. My experience has been that children at that age love the immediate gratification of stickers stuck everywhere, haha! But yes, as you said, what's worked this week may not work next week - or even tomorrow! I've found that having a repertoire of tricks up my sleeve is helpful because I can then alternate and adapt them according to situations.
With such diverse and great tips shared, I think we should really compile an ultimate guide for future reference, adding more wisdom as we go along our parenting journey! It'd be a fantastic resource for all the unsure parents.
 
I'm sure there'll be many wonderful insights from other parents contributing their successful tactics. It's an exciting prospect! I've learned so much already and feel empowered with this new knowledge. There's so much we can do beyond spanking to encourage good behavior.
It's encouraging to discover the variety of inventive approaches that other parents have found success with. They give us confidence that there are many paths to effective parenting! Each sharing adds a new tool to our belt, as we navigate this complex journey.
 
You're right; some situations are too good to be true! It'd be great to note those down and keep our expectations real.
Genuine praise and positive reinforcement have been my go-tos, coupled with clear and simple explanations for why certain behaviors are acceptable or not. For particularly difficult situations, I'll try the redirection method too - it's amazing how a simple change of scenery or topic can shift their focus. My son is quite responsive to these techniques, and it's such a relief because nothing beats a peaceful resolution!

The different methods people are sharing are really interesting and I'm enjoying learning about them too. And it's so true - there's no one way that works for everyone because every child is unique! I like the idea of having a go-to list of options that we can draw upon when faced with different situations because, as parents, we do want to keep improving our toolkit. But it can be overwhelming too, like others have mentioned!
