Create a chart of family rules and consequences
At home and in class, children need to respect and follow rules to function well in a group. To make this kind of self-discipline easier for your child, create a chart of four or five of your family's most important house rules and the consequences for breaking them. Make sure your child understands them. Then, enforce them consistently. Point to the chart and say, "Taylor, you broke rule #3. What is the consequence?"
