clear plan of action
•  Ideally, you have a step by step set of
strategies that you can take in response to
your child’s misbehaviour

5) 
Press the pause button
Positive Instruction – ‘ssh lets use a quiet voice
Distraction - ‘Look, lets play with the blocks’
Soothing – ‘ I know its hard... Lets calm down’
Praise Ignore – e.g ignore whining when tidying
up and praise small steps.. ‘You put the first
block in – good boy’
6)  Consequence – ‘ when blocks in the box, then
you can have Teddy’
7)  Back up Consequence ‘if you hit out you will
www.solutiontalk.ie
have to sit on the Time Out chair’
Good Consequences
•  Are not severe (only have to be small to work)
•  Affect the child and not the parent
•  Are immediate and related to misbehaviour (e.g. Toys put
away for a minute if not sharing’)
•  Start small and can slowly increase
•  Are repeatable and don’t run out
•  Ideally a warning is given, so child has a choice to behave
•  Are delivered respectfully and calmly
•  Are explained in advance to child
www.solutiontalk.ie
Planned Consequences and Sanctions
•  Choose a repeatable sanction that you can easily use in
most situations ( Pocket money, Time Out, TV time)
•  Think through ‘what, where, how’ of system in advance
and make sure to explain to children in advance
•  Wan child of consequence ‘if you hit out again you will
have to take a time out’ – Emphasise choice
•  Follow through calmly – ‘ let the consequence do the
work, not the anger’
•  Never run out of sanctions, have sequence of them
www.solutiontalk.ie
www.solutiontalk.ie
Step by Step Discipline Plan – Older child
1)  Remain calm and respectful
2)  Focus on positive options for your child – ‘ I want you to ..
OR you cant.. , but you can
3)  Acknowledge feelings ‘ I know you feel upset
4)  Address disrespect ‘ Please speak politely
5)  End conversation if disrespect continues ‘ I can only speak to
you when you speak politely to me’
6)  Use consequences – If you continue to be rude you will have
to take a Time out
7)  If you wont go to Time Out you will lose pocket money
8)  If rudeness/ aggression continues, take action – e.g. Walk
away
www.solutiontalk.ie
9)  Follow up later to talk through when things are calmer

3) Agreeing a Plan
www.solutiontalk.ie
Problem Example 1 – Sibling Rivalry
Two boys are always fighting, constant
tension. One boy always seems to be
picking on the other, who runs crying to the
parent who punishes first child.
www.solutiontalk.ie
Sibling Rivlary
1) Press the pause button
•  Parents usually reacts by trying to referee the
children’s fighting – getting involved trying to
decide who is wrong and then disciplining this
child.
•  Inadvertently she is siding with the younger child.
This can leave the older boy feeling defensive and
•  more likely to misbehave and the younger boy to
continue to be a victim.
www.solutiontalk.ie
Step by Step Discipline Plan
Example – siblings fighting
1. Positive Instruction - ‘Listen guys, lets all share/ lets take
turns’,
PAUSE
2. Remind/ Encourage - ‘The two of you are so good at
sharing’./ ‘ I know the two of you can get on’
PAUSE
3. Consequence - ‘The toys get put away, until you share’
PAUSE
4. Consequence 2 – Ssh, When you calm, down the toy comes
back’ .
PAUSE
5. Consequence 2 – Be kind, or you will both have to separate
for a minute’.

Responding to Problems
© John Sharry 2009
www.solutiontalk.ie
Prevention Plan – Sibling Rivalry
1.  Set aside one-to-one time with each child, when you can enjoy their
company and listen to them alone.
2.  Set up playtime with both children supporting them playing
cooperatively together e.g. Put them on the same team
3.  Encourage together – you are great brothers sharing like that
4.  Always encourage both - J put out the plates and B you did the cutlery
5.  Use a team picture chart e.g. Working as a team in the morning.
6.  Problem Solve together - sit down with both children and help them
discuss ways they can get on. The focus is on finding a solution rather
than analysing who is wrong.
7.  Problem Solve individually - sit down with each child, without taking
sides, listen to their perspective and help them find a solution - ‘How
can you get on with your sister?’
www.solutiontalk.ie

homework has become a battle between

minutes) doing something you like ( e.g. having a walk) when you can
relax or take time to reflect.

children, in play or just chatting and talking or doing something you
both enjoy.
•  * Become aware of the times you respond positively to your child’s
request for attention.
* Practice being encouraging and always focusing on positive first
•  * In conflict, remember to pause and try to hold expressing too many
negative emotions.

point of view.
