Discipline

Moms.. maybe boy moms more specifically how yall doing? Because I’m tired over here and my kid seems to only get stronger when he’s tired and is very determined so I’m hitting a wall he does not listen to no I hold his hand back I’ll explain it to him I’ll say if it’s yucky dangerous etc he starts a full meltdown will try to flail around hit kick screams I’ve done a flick on the hand a little swat on the hand it didn’t phase him a bit ive just given him hugs until he calmed down (which is the quickest way) and then try talking to him but it just keeps happening so this feels like a endless cycle that this momma is slowly loosing😔

It gets better. At this age really saying no and constant redirection is all we do. It’s very age appropriate right now for them to be this way but it does get better (as long as they don’t have any underlining behavioral issues of course).. I remember thinking I wouldn’t make it to two with my first born. Keep pushing forward. My second is a tough one but consistency is key with them. You got this.

I reserve no for dangerous things that need immediate attention. But even then it's followed up with what she can do instead. So don't touch the oven, play with your magnets on the fridge for example. Giving choices also helps as so many tantrums are over a power struggle. Do you want mommy to start brushing your teeth or do you want to start? Would you like to hold hands or be carried? Do you want to get your water bottle first or shoes? Once I changed my expectations for what a toddler is able to comprehend and how they react it got a lot better mentally. Little big feelings on insta is a great free resource to give you tips and tricks and the why behind their behavior

Offering choices like one of the other moms suggested seems to go a long way with us. I don’t do it often bc I’m not trying to wait around for his decisions all the time 😂 plus he’s pretty wishy washy in his decision. and then patience. I’ve noticed if I give a little more time after a direction he will frequently come around. He’s just so slow sometimes 🙃 this one is really hard to practice now that I have a newborn who if is crying, I can’t wait the extra 2 minutes for you every single time 🫠 Idk what parenting style you lean toward but I love BratbustersParenting on instagram. She’s amazing in my opinion! I think she offers classes and things but I just watch her videos and I’ve learned so many things
