We believe talking straight to your child and explaining the good and bad and how it affects others always works

I believe in talking reason rather than instill physical punishment so that the kids know where they went wrong

5 year olds would benefit from explanation of good and bad and repercussions of their actions.

A sticker chart is a great way to motivate their good behaviour

I would also take note of their good and bad behaviour as well

For every action, there will be reaction/repercussion...

I don’t have secret, only learn from others

Explain that repercussions of behaviour

Positive reinforcement perhaps

Explain through stories
