How you discipline your child will depend on age, stage of development, personality and many other factors, but there are some basic ideas to help guide you.

It takes an enormous amount of patience and perseverance on the parents part to get the child disciplined. Children by nature are free spirits and would want to have all sorts of freedom. You as a parent also do not want to restrict them into binding rules.
There ware always two sides to the coin so total restriction will not be very good for them as well total freedom. There is fine balance between the two that you need to achieve.

Good behaviour isn’t just luck. There is a lot that parents can do to foster it. It helps to know what affects your child’s behaviour.
External forces are things that families have some control over, including:

Physical space: If it’s calm, comfortable and organized, your child will be more likely to behave well.
Materials: Toys that are right for your child’s age will excite and entertain him.
Routine: Organize your day with routines so your child knows what to expect. Include planned and unplanned activities as well as quiet time and active play. Try to spend part of every day playing outside.
Time for sleep: Naps are important for young children and should be part of your routine. As much as possible, keep bedtimes and wake times the same.
Food: A hungry child can be a cranky child. Keep regular mealtimes and offer healthy snacks between meals.
Peers: How your child’s friends treat him will affect his own behaviour.
Television and other media: Limit your child’s screen time. While high quality children’s shows may promote positive behaviour, violent shows and games may make your child feel anxious and encourage aggressive behaviour in some children.

How to raise their kids is one of the main topics couples argue about.  Don’t fight about child-rearing disagreements in front of your kids.  It’s important for your children to see you as a team working together.

Then with all this things in mind you need to develop a long term discipline plan for the kid. For each type of indiscipline you need to observe where he is going wrong. Then approach slowly each problem and try to correct it. For thing that he becomes obstinate about make sure that you have appropriate response. At the outset never indulge into a shouting match with the child. That give and impression to the kid that he is powerful and you are powerless.

Discipline is the process of teaching your child what type of behavior is acceptable and what type is not acceptable. In other words, discipline teaches a child to follow rules. Discipline may involve both punishment, such as a time out, and, more importantly, rewards. It sounds so straightforward, yet every parent becomes frustrated at one time or another with issues surrounding children and discipline.

A child naturally wants the love and approval of their parents, so one of the easiest ways to encourage good behaviour is for children to know what behaviour is expected of them and to know they will be recognised and encouraged for it. If you find yourself getting angry and frustrated with your child’s behaviour, you may need to take time out to deal with your own feelings. It may be best to temporarily remove yourself from a situation you are finding stressful. This may mean making sure your child is safe and leaving the room for a few minutes. Another option is calling a friend or relative to give you a break.
