Tips to discipline your toddler If you want your toddler to grow up well and highly disciplined, you should start by doing this in the home. Toddlers are naturally very curious and they tend to look at everything that is going on around them. However as parents you have the responsibility to look after them as they start to explore their world and be the one to place limits on just how much they can do. As you set limits to what your toddlers can do, you do not simply let them grow up responsibly but it is also a good way for you to impose that they should respect you as their parents. Here are some good tips that you can use as you start to impose disciplinary rules for your toddler: 1. Communicate- A good way for you to establish their trust and confidence in you is to always keep communication lines open between you and your toddler. Be the first person whom they would prefer to turn to when they feel something wrong or there is something confusing for them. 2. Implement Time-Outs - As opposed to spanking or yelling at your toddler if they did something wrong, a time-out is much more effective. It involves communications plus taking away something important to them which then becomes their punishment for doing something bad. This is also an effective way for them to avoid doing the same bad thing again because they would not like what it would cost them. 3. Use distractions - One of the common roadblocks you might experience with kids is that they would hardly listen to what you have to say. So if the situation is not that major anyway, you can simply find a way to distract them (with something they are interested in) from nagging at you on something or from doing something not nice. 4. Be consistent - As you start to set limits and rule to your child, always make sure that they are followed consistently. 5. Consider your kid's stress levels - Sometimes, toddlers tend to be short-tempered and may cast tantrums when they are hungry or tired. Don't overdo things with your kids and remember that their little bodies can only endure so much for now. Instilling discipline with your kids can be easy. The most important thing is that you know them personally so you can set ground rules that fit them best.
