Learn how to discipline children with these easy tips from Parents Magazine! The key to disciplining children is to be consistent, follow through once you've set up rules, show respect, and remain calm. Here are our four parenting tips on how to discipline children. Tip one is to teach natural consequences. Choose a punishment that fits your child's bad behavior. Tip two is to ignore certain attention-seeking behaviors. If your child doesn't get a rise out of you, she will probably stop doing it. Tip three is to give choices to your child so they're more willing to cooperate. Tip four is to use time-outs.
