how to stop children from running inside

Force them all to carry scissors. Every child knows you should never run with scissors.

If this is too difficult, consider installing an indoor pool. Every child knows you should never run around a pool.

I'd avoid doing the "whole class" punishment thing. Penalize those who don't comply and reward those who do, and consistently. Maybe Indoor/Outdoor behaviour reward chart, wherein you can reward the more rambunctious ones for exerting a lot of energy during gym classes but also keeping quiet & calm in class.

If they're young enough, teachers used to do clapping games or turn off the lights to get people to freeze and be quiet. Might be an okay tactic only when the chaos has spread lol.

what, divide and conquer...no, I only did it when they were ALL acting up.

I am not their teacher so the reward chart would have to be like 450 children and cover up the entire wall of the library lol

Exercise discipline. You're in control, not them.

There are rules. Keep to those and don't waiver.

"Don't run in the house!"
If they run in the house set the punishment for disobedience.

Set them down for a time out. Cool their hyperactive jets.

There are rules and punishments awaiting when they leave the house. There are rules and punishments in scripture.

Make the rules, enforce the rules, insist your child respect you and the home, now. Because a child that was let to run wild with no rules, no discipline, growing up is a nightmare adult. They won't learn later in life what was the responsibility of the parent during their formative years.

you sound like a sergeant major lol

I dont really recall my parents having set a whole lot of rules myself. I just recall my mother had a bamboo switch and when that didnt work she just yelled at me (still does) and belittles me. The rules change according to how she feels at the time. She also doesnt feel she needs to observe the rules herself. They arent written down anywhere

I then thought well being a parent wont be any fun if thats the way it goes.

I think most children have experienced parenting this way where their parents threaten to give them a hiding or hit them with a jandal. I then had to deal with children being too scared to go home.

My parents never belittled me. As a form of discipline or for any other reason.
My mom gave a half hearted effort in spanking me once.

Their method of discipline was simple. They told me what I wasn't allowed to do and for the most part I obeyed.

They never had to tell me to stay out from under the sink, and away from the household cleansers. I knew that on my own. Bleach ain't tasty. It's a given.

No, not a drill sergeant, just a parent of 5, grown now, who recognized and accepted the responsibility in raising future adults.I knew they could be raised to be responsible, honorable, good people.
Or not.
It was our choice and assumed responsibility.

I knew I would never be party to lazy parenting. I make the rules, dad makes the rules, you the children follow the rules or suffer the consequences. Either in discipline, or in finding out the hard way through pain, or loss.

Our kids were smart. They also never thought it a good idea to stick something in an electric outlet. Or, mess with household chemicals, etc...

And they turned out great. Happy, healthy, employed, educated. Three are raising families of their own. One is currently dedicated to their career. One is dating a possible future spouse.

The way we saw it, if we didn't care to put in the work, we shouldn't choose to have kids when parenting, good responsible parenting, takes work.

We refused to abdicate that responsibility. Because the children we raised today, were going to impact the future tomorrow. Better to be a asset than a liability.

And school didn't raise our kids either.

Unlike today where school assemblies seek to indoctrinate impressionable minds to accept all manner of nonsense as normal. Imparting the idea a parent raiding their voice is child abuse. Report them to the school counselor asap do that child can enter a "safe environment", etc...
Warning kids to beware if their parent hugs them, and if so, if it is too often.

And then, they introduce a drag dressed damned freak calling itself female, as they presume to "instruct" the children present about the particulars as relates to "deciding on what they want to be as, not when, they grow up".
As in, gender. It's a choice. Their body is a malleable vessel.

That type Satanic garbage is what our tax dollars support in our public schools.

My son found this out when he decided to attend a school assembly my granddaughter told him was scheduled the next day.

Both my children now homeschool the children. My third will also when the baby is old enough.

Satan and his recruits roam this world, with God's permission, and empowerment, seeking souls to devour.

They are more than welcome in my book to feast on the freaks.
As for me and my house, no! Not at all.Not ever.

What do you do?

I thought of having furniture barriers or a string curtain.
Or maybe a hamster wheel for them.
signs dont work as they cant or dont read them.

If they dont listen and keep disobeying, do you just ban them for life or what. Tired of playing traffic cop. Solutions please!
