Positive Discipline for Toddlers
Trying to win an argument with a toddler is like trying to hopscotch on quicksand - it's not going to work.
Advocates of positive discipline for toddlers teach that children can behave without yelling, threatening, or physically injuring the child.
The following tips will help you get on the right road to creating a more harmonious connection to your child.
Understanding the Reasons Behind Your Child's Behavior
Experts claim that children inherently want to behave well.
However, if and when they appear to get off course, there's a reasonable explanation for it.
It's your job as the parent to discover why they are exhibiting the behavior.
Once you understand the cause of their actions, you can simply remove it and heal the emotions behind it.
As a result, your child will be less likely to behave in that particular manner any longer.
Focus on Your Own Behavior - Not Your Child's
Keeping a cool head in the heat of the moment can prove to be extremely challenging at times.
Is your behavior acceptable? Are you yelling and screaming in order to gain control of the situation?
If so, this is the wrong approach.
You may ultimately have to count to ten, walk away, or call for backup.
Whatever you have to do, you must center yourself so you can effectively take charge. You are the parent.
Praise Good Behavior and Ignore the Bad
Most often, children misbehave because they are simply seeking your undivided attention.
Therefore, it's best just to ignore whatever they are doing that is considered bad.
Is your child incessantly whining and complaining?
Walk away and pretend you can't hear them; your child will soon figure out there's a better way to express their feelings.
Overall, positive discipline for toddlers works much better than enforcing negative authority.
Think of your behavior as a mirror, what your child sees is what you'll be getting back in terms of behavior - good or bad.
