Later, you might gossip to Daddy on the phone about when he did good listening and stopped when Mommy said stop. Once your child stops the negative behavior, do a little something that is fun to show him that good things happen when he follows the rules.
I'm going to the kitchen and I'll be back in a little bit when you remember your nice words."
It's time to use the kind ignoring technique (give a teensy cold shoulder to nudge a tot to cooperate): "Mommy doesn't like it when you say those words. Sometimes the "prized possession" you remove is.you. Mommy said, 'Stop, no, no, no!' but Eleanor didn't listen to Mommy's words, so.bye-bye crackers. For example, if your three-year-old refuses to stop tossing crackers to the dog, remove the crackers and say, "You like to see Rusty eat crackers, but crackers are for people.not dogs. When you take away a privilege, tell your child you know how much she wants it, but what she's doing is not okay. (Penalties that connect the punishment to the misbehavior are also called logical consequences.) In other words, if he defies you by playing basketball in the house, remove the ball for a while. Make the punishment related to the misconduct. Giving a fine penalizes your tot by removing a valued privilege or toy. This tactic is best used for toddlers two and up (especially three and up). It's a "take-charge" consequence that targets your toddler's growing love of freedom and ownership. If time-out is like going to jail, giving a fine is like, well, being fined. Toddler Discipline Tactic #2: Giving a Fine At bedtime, reinforce the lesson by telling a fairy tale about a little bunny who misbehaved and what happened to him. Later in the day, talk to him about what happened and gossip to his toys about the incident (and the lesson you want him to learn). Many kids need to sulk a little after being punished.Īwhile after a time-out, express your regret for having had to do it. If he's still mad, connect with respect, but then let him be on his own. It's time to let go of your anger and allow your heart to forgive. Just join him in some play or give a bit of attention.
#A fun time out free
Once the fit is over and your child is free to go, don't talk about the time-out for 30 minutes or so. It will allow your child to hear when the time-out is over, and it also gives you a good answer when he begs to come out ("It's not up to me, it's up to Mr. Dinger and let him hear what it sounds like. Timers are great to let both you and your child know when the time-out is over. You'll want to buy a timer with a loud ring. Time-outs should last one minute per year of age. But young ones, and feisty toddlers of all ages, usually need to be confined-in a playpen if they are under age two, or gated into their bedroom if they are over age two. A chair or bottom step may work with some tots. It's a good idea to pick your time-out place ahead of time. Calmly lead him (or, if you have to, carry him) to the time-out place. Later on, compliment his good listening with a bit of praise and gossip, and a little bedtime sweet talk before you turn out the lights. Reward his cooperation by playing the boob. If your child stops the misbehaving before you get to three, don't do a time-out. You want your child to learn that the time-out is something he's doing to himself (not something you're doing to be mean). If your child ignores your warning, put on a serious face and calmly echo his desire then say "No," and count to three. Do you want to hold a piece of bread or your police car?" Jamie wants the sugar, now! But.no sugar! No sugar! But you know what? Daddy's gonna let you hold something else. If your 2-year-old is having a meltdown at the dinner table because you won't let him play with the sugar bowl, clap-growl (a toddler warning technique-clap your hands three to four times and grrrrrrowl), frown and shake your head "no" (even do a double take). Time-out requires one piece of equipment-a timer-and has three simple steps (Note: For dangerous or really bad behavior you can skip right to step 3): Time-out is a "take-charge" consequence where you very briefly deprive your child of two precious things: freedom and the privilege of being with you. When your child is engaged in these red-light behaviors, I recommend two "take-charge" consequences you can use to put on the brakes: time-out and giving a fine. There are three types of toddler bad behavior that go beyond the "annoying" category and need to be stopped with discipline: dangerous acts, aggression, and breaking key family rules.
