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 dont 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
  childs eye level and calmly explain why their
  outbursts wont get them what they want.
• Punishment should be by way of time out and
  according to the age of the toddler.
