Discipline Ideas For Littles

Every Little acts up every once in a while, right? So every Caregivers need to know exactly how to deal with them. I put together a list of some ideas that Caregivers can use to discipline their Little.

Remember, discipline should be used only to correct bad behavior when the Little displays it. Do not overuse discipline, or the little will become very used to it, and it will not have any effect on their behavior.

Below I'll list the discipline ideas in text and going into further detail about each idea.

1. No television: This discipline idea is only useful if the little enjoys television. Some prefer video games or being on their phone, so keep in mind that whatever you take away from them will have to be important, or it will have no effect on their behavior.

2. No Video Games: Here is an alternative to the "No T.V." discipline idea. This can also be used with it, depending on how badly the Little has behaved.

3. Can't Have Favorite Snack For The Day: This is a more mild discipline idea for Littles. This could be for an offense like lying about minor things or sneaking candy they weren't supposed to have. To do this punishment, you could take away their favorite snack for as long as you see fit for the punishment, such as taking away fruit snacks for two days.

4. Only Drink Water For The Day: Here is another mild form of discipline. It can also be used for the same offenses given as an example in the above paragraph. This is not only a form of discipline, but also very healthy for your little!

5. Early Bed Time: Some Littles, like me, get very tired early in the night, so this discipline idea wouldn't work very well for us. Now if they're the type of Littles to stay up till the very last minute. this is the right discipline idea for them!

6. Chores: This is a very vague option. Some example of chores you could use are vacuuming (I personally hate this one the most), dish washing, dusting, mopping, or laundry.

7. No Internet For Fun: This one has to be regulated because your Little may need the internet for school or work. The Caregiver will have to check in on their little to be sure that their little is not using the internet to go on social media or play any games.

8. Timeout: This one is usually used for a Little who got too hyper and broke a rule. The timeout is meant to calm them down and give them time to think about their actions. The amount of time is usually determined by their action of offense.

9. Write Lines: Writing lines are very tedious and boring! Which is why every Little hates them! For this discipline idea, the little must write a set amount of sentences, which are determined by the Caregiver, and write them neatly. Usually the line written has to do with the rule they broke.

10. Forced to Read a Boring Book: Reading can be fun, which is why the book you choose must be boring to the Little!

11. Soap In Mouth: Everyone knows that Princesses and Princes should not say bad words! So when they fail to follow this rule, soap in the mouth will teach them a lesson! I personally think the little should get a few warnings before this step is taken since it is a bit drastic. Remember, don't abuse your power as a Caregiver. Use a kind, but firm hand with your Little!

12. Forced to Eat Something They Dislike: This can also be used for saying bad words or mean things. The food used in this discipline action should not be harmful to the little! Keep in mind allergies or irritation to the mouth, such as eating too many acidic food.
