I prefer to discipline myself,put myself in timeout for 30 minutes (according to age) with wine and chocolate and a magazine.
Doesn't always work however....]]> Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:22:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40301&PID=1380583&title=ht-how-do-you-discipline-your-toddler#1380583 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40301&PID=1380171&title=ht-how-do-you-discipline-your-toddler#1380171 Author: sarasal

We didn't really need to do anything besides distraction until recently, when the terrible twos have kicked in, age 2 years, 9 months.

I give one warning, and if he persists, then I use discipline that's relevant to the crime eg if he throws a toy inside, he loses the toy. If he draws on the wall, the crayons get put away. For hitting, he gets the time out chair for 2 minutes, but I have to hold him in it.

I think the important thing is to act straight away, even if you're busy or can't be bothered, and don't make empty threats so they quickly learn that you mean what you say. ]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:12:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40301&PID=1380171&title=ht-how-do-you-discipline-your-toddler#1380171 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40301&PID=1380073&title=ht-how-do-you-discipline-your-toddler#1380073 Author: MrsAO

Our daughter is 19 months and we use the the 3 chance method with her. If we don't want her to do something, we say " Stop, do not touch that it is hot". I do give her a smack on the hand if she has not listened. - but that is the last thing on my mind.

After the 3 chances we put her in time out - in her cot, with no toys or moo moo - her favourite snuggly... we let her calm down and then we go in and say " Are you ready. to come play nicely and say sorry to Mummy or Daddy".... if she is crying we walk out and say you call us when you are ready to come.... ". To us , this means we are letting her say when she is ready to come and play. She always calls out and we say " why we put her in time out" like " You were in time out because you did not listen to mummy. Say you are soory and kisses and cuddles. which she does and we go and play.

We feel this gives us time to calm down and relax before dealing with her. She has had toys taken off her and removed for the day because she was doing something dangerous - like standing on top of a toy....
We praise our daughter a lot and tell her off a lot less....

We are currently using this method. Although it has changed from time to time as my daughter has gotten older ours ways of discipline have changed

First i will ask her to stop doing whatever it is thats naughty. I say "if you do this again you will be going to time out in your room"

Then i put her in time out if she does the same thing again once being asked not to. I normally give her about 5-10 min in her room even though she is 2.5yrs. She will scream for a min then go play anyhow.

If she does something thats dangerous. Like playing with switches or trying to plug stuff in, running onto the road. Anything that puts her life in danger really i will give her a smack on the hand and tell her off in a stern voice. ]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2011 12:45:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40301&PID=1380063&title=ht-how-do-you-discipline-your-toddler#1380063 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40301&PID=1380060&title=ht-how-do-you-discipline-your-toddler#1380060 Author: Smelly_Kelly

I will have to look into the Diane Levy methods!! At this stage we are just giving her 1 chance then taking her away from the situation which works.... for now. Shes only 15 months so i know it is going to get a whole lot worse]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2011 12:44:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40301&PID=1380060&title=ht-how-do-you-discipline-your-toddler#1380060 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40301&PID=1380058&title=ht-how-do-you-discipline-your-toddler#1380058 Author: Bizzy

How do you discipline your toddler? Do you use time-out or the naughty seat? Tell us what works for you. ]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2011 12:30:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40301&PID=1380054&title=ht-how-do-you-discipline-your-toddler#1380054
