How are you disciplining your two year old?
Show your support
Quiet time, no TV, no play Put toys away, an no play til all toys r out away, if throws I do reset take all toys out make her put away
mine likes to throw toys when he gets upset so I take the toys away in front of him, explain why, help regulate the tantrum, redirect & then he'll get the toys back a few hours later
Using some of the methods suggested here but feels like it’s one step forward and two steps back so following for more ideas 😂👍 Also have a 2.5yr old and most of the time he’s a delight but some days… what the actual fuck?! 😤
Talk to them. Does he/she go to daycare? Are they picking up bad habits there? If yes, I'd talk to the teacher to see what causes such behavior. Explain things, time out for kiddo are some things that come to mind
@Vani yes, he goes to daycare! Some of the kids in the class are a little spicy but good idea to ask them
@Rosie yes, those some days are so so so hard!!
@Sara Hi, thank you for the advice. A few weeks ago I got books from the library talking about feelings and better coping skills. He actually took more to those stories because most of them were with dinosaurs. And yes, the patience is almost completely dry over here.
-Natural consequences are a good start -time outs have proven to be ineffective and don’t teach problem solving -read lots of books and play lots of games that support emotional regulation I teach PreK- honestly patience is the #1 key. Toddlers are going to have the same meltdown over the same damn thing 50 times before they learn how to problem solve it on their own
