How can I correct my child's behaviour without long lectures?

One minute of praise, one minute of scolding

When you catch good behaviour, give one minute of praise. When you catch bad behaviour, give a one-minute scolding, only one minute. Everybody's behaviour gets molded by consequences.

When you repeatedly give one minute of praise and one minute of scolding, it shapes behaviour, because everyone's behaviour is molded by consequences.
