This issue has come up alot in my head because I am 16 years old have a 2 year old neice who’s constantly in trouble even after she’s been disciplined. I take things from her, put her in the corner you name it. I’ve even spanked her a couple of times, and told her mother who does some of the same things I’ve done but to an extent because she’s the mother. But my question is what’s the point of discipline in a toddler when they have very little attention span, and don’t really know any better because they are so young? I want children of my own someday, and I just want to know because me personally I feel like it’s a bit waste of time since they really can’t discipline themselves at such a young age. So really what’s the point?
Well her mother knows I’ve only spanked her twice, but with my hand, I quit because it didn’t feel right smacking her like that. But her mom still spanks her, and she says that I shouldn’t hesitate. But there’s got to be some other ways instead of what I’ve been doing.
I have a 2.5 yr old daughter, and a 15 month old son. Both are very active, my son is small for his age, probably the size of a 10 month old, due to his heart condition.
But my issues are, my daughter thinks she’s the boss of the toys, of everything they got. She hits and takes things away from my son. Then he gets mad at her and gets her too.
This is constant. I don’t want to spank her when she does this, because I don’t want her thinking it’s ok to hit. I do tell her not to do it, and if she takes a toy from him, I give it back to him.
This is sometimes constant, both are night and day. He will pick up the toys and she will throw them out. Then they both get mad.
How in the world do I get them to get along? What other discipline techniques can you all suggest for my 2 yr old.
It’s tough having 2 toddlers I tell you. Thanks everyone
