Effective discipline involves parents being firm and specific.They should be respectful and speak as they would want to be spoken to.The most effective consequences are delivered immediately and are tied to the action in a logical way.If parents can recognize triggers for temper tantrums,they can avoid them (e.g.,a child who is tired needs a nap or bedtime).A rule of thumb for time-out is 1 minute for each year of life.
