Discipline vs Punishment

Punishment vs. Discipline Good behavior is a learning process for children, and we are their roadmap. Children usually behave per their own emotions and impulses. At the same time, being a parent is also a learning process and sometimes we rely on our own emotions and impulses to teach. Usually, that means we divert directly to punishments when a child misbehaves, missing a crucial opportunity to teach them. With that said, I am going to break down how to teach good behavior through discipline vs. punishment. Let’s compare the two words and what they really mean: • Punishment – means to inflict pain or suffering as a penalty. • Discipline – means to ....

Edutainment

Edutainment Be the parent your child needs you to be. They need you to be in their world. That means interacting and playing with them on their level to prompt them through the tasks and chores they don’t want to do. Here are some tips and examples of using effectively using edutainment with your child. 1. Practice Healthy Competition The child's brain loves novelty. That is why healthy competition and games get them excited. You can help your child accomplish the daily tasks they do not necessarily want to do by adding a fun edutainment component. Edutainment in daily tasks may include incorporating a game or competition into their nighttime routine to prompt them to ....

Prompting

Prompting How can you set your child up for daily success? One of the most effective ways to do this is to focus on prompting instead of punishment. Here’s what you need about prompting your child toward good behavior and decisions: 1. Friendly Competition One of the ways to prompt your child toward good behavior is to create a simple competition where you dare them to turn a negative behavior to a positive one. If your child is fidgety and doesn’t sit still or tends to be disruptive, for instance, create a friendly competition or prompt that steers them to better behavior. To have them sit still, you may ask “Let’s see if you can sit better than ....

Patience

Patience Take a few extra seconds when responding to poor behavior. This demonstrates compassion, empathy, and self-control on your part. Sometimes all you need to do is think about responding in the most patient manner to help re-direct your child. A few seconds can make a big difference. 1. Ask, Listen, Explain Patience helps you to establish better solutions for difficult moments with your child. If your child has a temper tantrum, for instance, take a few seconds to calm down before reacting. Then, ask questions to help determine what is really driving the behavior. Listen to what they say and then explain what they could have done instead. Patience can lead to ....

My son loves going to Joey Perry. The people who work there are great with the kids and Tristan has fun while learning discipline and being respectful. Their day camp program has been so good for him, as they stick to a routine and keep them busy with movies, activities, crafts, training, and field trips while also giving them interludes of free time to play and visit.

I love how they teach life skills, such as dealing with bullying situations, boosting confidence, building leadership skills, exercising with a purpose, and helping one another to achieve. It is also lots of fun with buddy nights and other events. We feel blessed to be part of JPMAA!

My son, Colton, went to JPMAA for 8 1/2 years. I will say what I have always said about that...best money I ever spent!!! Joey Perry is a great person. I was a single father when C started there. Mr. Perry immediately took to Colton. He took extra time to mentor my son. Not because I was paying his tuition to go there, but because he genuinely loved my kid! He cares about his students. Colton pretty much worshipped Mr. Perry. Colton mot only learned how to protect himself, he learned so many other valuable traits. Respect, manners, compassion and how to be a friend. To EVERYONE you encounter in your life. The things he learned there have helped him so much as he has started moving into adulthood. I am proud to know Mr. Perry. I am also proud of him when I see his influence in my son's life.
