You can use fear as a deterrent for misbehavior by making sure your children understand the consequences of their actions. Make sure to firmly and consistently enforce boundaries you set, and follow through with suitable punishments if they are broken. When appropriate, threats of possible repercussions may also be used as a way to make your children think twice before misbehaving.

As parents, we must be fair but also consistent when it comes to discipline. Mischievous behavior can often be discouraged through positive reinforcement – rewarding good behavior instead of bad. It is important to praise your children for their efforts and show them love even when they make mistakes. Fearing consequences can discourage mischievious behavior in the short-term, but positive reinforcement and setting a positive example are better methods for creating lasting change in the long term.
