Toddler Discipline Finding A Good Balance Of Behavior
As a parent now for nearly sixteen years I can really understand the fine balance between toddler discipline, and squashing the spirit of a child.
When my first daughter Ellie was born I was completely new at this thing termed parenting, and I found most of the parenting books to be contradictory at best and some just plain silly at worst. This might sound harsh to some new parents who are seeking a clear path as a parent.
I can understand being a parent is a tricky business particularly when it comes to discipline and specifically toddler discipline, if you go for the free range strategy and just let your children kind of develop in the vain hope all will be fine, then you are likely to be living some sort of living nightmare, with your child entirely dictating the agenda and totally running your life.
On the other hand if you go for total discipline as favored by many over the years, then you be in danger of totally losing the true essences of your children's persona.
I would like to say that their is a holy grail of toddler discipline, that you can follow and tick off the list as you go, and believe me some individuals would try to offer it to you like that. Just how I see it, it's about two core things boundaries and communication especially as your child begins to get to the toddler stage and further than.
I still find this to be the case with my 16 and 13 old kids, I have what i call my fall back position, that's as long as I will go on any given issue, that's my boundary that in most cases my children over a number of years have learnt to understand, however within those boundaries their is a lot of opportunities of freedom of expression and chances to grow as a human being which I personally feel is necessary.
To do this though good communication is key when implementing toddler discipline, to this end I have been highly fortunate to have learnt things for example NLP which have aided me shape my language skills and gestures to get maximum engagement with my kids.
