You could give them a timeout or take away somthing that is there’s and give it back when their good. You could also give them rewards when they do good things and help around the house because that would make them want to keep doing good things.

Well I give her the three strike rule. The first time I show her what she is doing and explain that she is not to do it again. If she is still doing it or goes back to it (99% she will) I will say it with a firmer voice and if it has to be said a third time I tap her hand and show her once again what she is not to be doing. At this age to be honest no matter what you say they are going to do pretty much what they wish because they are testing you and the boundaries you set for them. I am a mother of three a 16 yr old girl, 12 yr old boy and a 2 yr old girl and she is the hardest to manage from them all. She seems a little more defiant than they ever were. I joke with my husband that it must be the water…..

Time outs, the corner and taking toys for really bad bahavior. Out of all of those I think the corner was most effective. I did not spank or slap my kids hands. I warned once or twice and then enforce the consequence EVERY time.

What worked for us raising 4 girls and having 6 grandkids was: as soon as they misbehaved we responded with a resounding OH OH which alerted them to the fact that they were going to take time out. Starting at 10 months old it meant a short moment of holding them on our lap while we said ‘when you’re sweet you can come out of time out. Our difinition of sweet was No longer crying, kicking, hitting or attempting to escape time out. Babies and toddlers catch on quickly even when they resist. As they grew we had to change the area of time out according to their age and ability to leave time out before we decided they were sweet. When my grandson was only 2 yrs old and he heard OH OH he would say immediately “I’m sweet, I’m sweet” which was very endearing to hear but non the less it didn’t let him off the hook.
