My child has been rebelling lately, how can I make them feel bad so they will stop?

You could attempt to make them feel guilty by reminding them of the sacrifices you have made for them or the hurt they have caused. It may also help to set consequences, such as taking away privileges, and following through with those consequences when your child doesn't meet expected standards. Ultimately, however, building a strong trusting relationship with your child and communicating openly are likely to be more effective strategies for getting them to stop their rebelling behavior.

It can be very difficult to deal with a rebellious child, and you may feel frustrated. Although it is never enjoyable to see your child disobey, try connecting with them and finding out why they are feeling so restless. This could help open the door to better communication which might prevent future tantrums or rebellion. Additionally, set some clear boundaries that reflect the principles you stand for as a family - for example, a curfew- followed by logical consequences if these are broken. This will provide them structure, security and will communicate that their behavior has consequences. Do this with love, consistency and most of all patience- they should realize pretty soon that their actions have consequences which in turn makes them feel bad eventually and ultimately leads away from rebelling again. Best of luck!
