How to Discipline a Toddler • The one thing that children of all ages need is consistency. They need to know consistently that they are loved, are safe and cared for. It stands to reason then, that one of the most effective strategies in disciplining a toddler is to be consistent.
The question is: What do parents need to do to be consistent? • Parents needs to agree on a parenting style that they both agree to adopt. It makes no sense if one parent says and allows one thing and the other parent says and allows another thing. Children at a very early age pick up on this inconsistency and will play one parent against the other to get what they want.
What other strategies can parents apply to Discipline a Toddler? • Create Family Rules appropriate for the age of the child. • Control your emotions. Remember children do not have the emotional intelligence/maturity to keep control. This day and age children expect instant gratification. You as a parent need to use your skills to keep control of your emotions to ensure that the child learns that their demands and tantrums don’t frustrate you. • Pick your battles. It is no use trying to reason with a toddler who is out of control. Wait for the right time when the toddler has settled down and then, get down so that you are at your child’s eye level and calmly explain why their outbursts won’t get them what they want. • Punishment should be by way of time out and according to the age of the toddler.
