Toddler DisciplineWithout (Too Many) Tears
This section has lots of unique and practical toddler discipline ideas.
1.The first step to managing your young child better is understanding toddler behaviour. Toddlerhood is a really challenging time - think of all the speaking, toilet training and other physical challenges that take place in this period. This means that life is frequently frustrating for your child, which leads to what looks like 'naughtiness' but often isn't. |

4.Responding to discipline problems and staying calm while you're at it is not a special gift that those (non-existant) perfect parents have. There are specific tricks that anyone - and I mean anyone - can learn.
5.What about spanking? This is a complete no-no, and not just because it's unfair - it just doesn't work in the long run. Remember that you have to deal with the consequences of your actions in the future, when your little one is'nt so little anymore...so unless your toddler is planning to leave home anytime before 2020, check out the pages listed below for some more effective toddler discipline ideas.

6.Go easy on yourself. The perfect parent doesn't exist, so don't expect yourself to be one! Everybody has their faults - we all make mistakes doing this, the hardest and most important job in the world. 7.Using positive discipline as much as we can means that when we lose our temper (as all parents do at one time or another), the incidents are isolated rather than the norm.
