Below is a partial list of typical parenting strategies. Parents have found these strategies to have little or no effect on their out-of-control child's behavior:
- Trying to "reason" with the child
- Having "heart-to-heart" talks
- Confrontation or being "assertive"
- Grounding
- Taking away privileges
- Time-outs
- Counseling
- Having the child go live with his/her other parent (if parents are separated or divorced)
- Trying to be a nicer parent
- Trying to be a tougher parent
- Having another family member "talk" to the child (e.g., aunt or uncle)
- "Giving in" and letting the child have her/his way
- Verbal warnings
- Ignoring misbehavior
- Medication
- Threatening to call the police
- Calling the police
- and so on...
