Any suggestions on how to discipline a child 2 years and under who just doesn't get "no"?

Question

I am writing a paper on disciplining younger children and would greatly appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!

Answer 1

First redirection. If that does not work then 2 swats on the butt.

Answer 2

My almost 2 year old completely understands the word no. However at times, he chooses to ignore it. He gets told twice more, then gets a visit to his least favorite corner of the house.

Answer 3

Redirection and if that does not work a firm swat on the bottom will usually do the trick

Answer 4

Just be firm and say NO loudly and follow it with an action like taking away the toy they are biting, etc.  Don't scream and DON'T hit.  All babies are different and understand things at different levels.  Be consistent and it will eventually get through.

Answer 5

Put child in a chair for time out. Usually a minute for each year they are old.

Answer 6

The best with a toddler is redirection. First, say no and keep repeating when they do it again. It does take a lot of repetitions! Then, distraction is what usually works best. Under two they have a pretty short attention span and they forget very quickly what they were so interested about if we distract them well.

Unfortunately, toddlers under two do not understand the link between events and consequences so I believe that time out is not a good technique.

Check the attach link for more about toddler development, it might help.

Good luck with the paper!

Answer 7

You physically prevent them from doing whatever it was you said No about. You never, ever sit there and say No repeatedly in the hope that they will obey you. You need to teach them that No doesn't mean "I want you to stop" it means "you will stop".
