discipline for 1 year olds |
Is there such a thing as discipline for 1 year olds? Redirection doesn't even work sometimes for my VERY spunky 13 mth old son, Mark. He's VERY determined. I know that the word no, should be used sparingly, as they should discover as much as possible at this age, but I feel like that's all I say lately! When have some of you started something, as far as discipline and what was it?

Trying taking favorite things away from him and redirection works if you are consistant but I know it's hard especialy for a 1 year old-good luck! |

My 14 month old can be challenging some days. I find that redirection usually only works if I actively engage him in another activity. Instead of just taking him off the dining room table and pointing him toward his toys, I have to bring him over to his box of blocks, sit down with him and start building. I talk to him about what I am doing, invite him to try it. Sometimes it only lasts as long as I sit there and play with him. Other times I can get him engaged in something that is similar to what I am doing so I can still get my work done. I do use no, but I always follow it with a positive. For example 'no climbing on the table, climb on the couch instead.' This works pretty often, surprisingly. |
