Positive discipline techniques.

My favorite is getting down at Thayden's level and trying to figure out why hes upset, I kinda make it a game and then he gets excited about it and quickly forgets hes upset With my girls I like to just lay on their beds and let them talk about whats bothering them and how we can work together to fix it.

My DS freaks out easily, so I pull him to me and tell him to breath deep and then we regulate our breathing to match each other and once he is calmed down, we talk about what is going on with him.

It depends on what the issue is. Jake is older now so we very rarely have a tantrum, he has learned over the years to talk about things before he gets upset and if he does, he likes to go and put himself in time out until he is calm enough to talk it through.

We do alot of consequences tho. Like if he cannot sit nicely on the chair (means no jumping or slamming himself down on it, or climbing along the back of it) he needs to sit on the floor.
If its something that doesnt really have a logical consequence, we take privilages away. He earns alot of privilages because he acts appropriately, so when he misbehaves he loses those privilages for a certain amount of time. He responds really well to this, and usually just the warning is enough for him to change it.
