Child discipline tactics

Discipline is the process of teaching your child what type of behaviour is acceptable and what type is not acceptable. In other words, discipline teaches a child to follow rules. Discipline may involve both punishment and, more importantly, rewards. It sounds so straightforward, yet every parent becomes frustrated at one time or another with issues surrounding children and discipline.

Other approaches parents can take to develop healthy eating habits in their children include:

• Guide your family's choices rather than dictate foods. Make a wide variety of healthy foods available in the house. This will help your children learn how to make healthy food choices.
• Encourage your children to eat slowly. A child can detect hunger and fullness better when eating slowly.
• Eat meals together as a family as often as possible. Try to make mealtimes pleasant with conversation and sharing, not a time for scolding or arguing. If mealtimes are unpleasant, children may try to eat faster to leave the table as soon as possible. They then may learn to associate eating with stress.
• Involve your children in food shopping and preparing meals. These activities will give you hints about your children's food preferences, an opportunity to teach your children about nutrition, and provide your children with a feeling of achievement. In addition, children may be more willing to eat or try foods they have helped prepare.
• Plan for snacks. Continuous snacking may lead to overeating, but snacks that are planned at specific times during the day can be part of a nutritious diet, without spoiling a child's appetite at meal times. You should make snacks as nutritious as possible, without depriving your children of occasional crisps or biscuits, especially at parties or other social events.
• Discourage eating meals or snacks while watching TV. Try to eat only in designated areas of your home, such as the dining room or kitchen. Eating in front of the TV may make it difficult to pay attention to feelings of fullness, and may lead to overeating.

• Tones the intestinal muscles and increases peristaltic action (wave like motion) of the large intestines to bowel transit time.
• Stimulates the liver and gall bladder to release bile. Toxins are removed from the liver through the bile acids.
• Helps weight loss by removal of toxins and accumulated waste matter.
• Relieves pressure and pain from the abdominal organs and low back muscles thereby reducing pain and discomfort in this area.
