Over Toddler Weight
Discipline for Toddlers is a bit of an oxymoron. The truth is, you do not discipline toddlers. They are just too little. They do not understand time-outs, hand-slaps, spanks, scolding, corner time, loss of privileges, or any other form of discipline. That does not mean that you have to accept their inappropriate behavior! But there are ways to deal with it, ways that are not harmful to your child.
Time-Outs are Not Recommended for Toddlers
Infants and toddlers do not understand rules, cause and effect, obedience, or discipline. They do not intentionally act badly. Toddlers will act as toddlers do. It is only parents who interpret their behavior as bad. When the toddler was an infant and he needed something - some basic need was not being met - he cried and you took care of it. If he was hungry, you fed him. If he was wet, you changed him. If he was tired, you rocked him to sleep. Crying used to work! But now that he is a toddler, if he wants something and cries for it, you send him away! This can be devastating for the toddler, so much so that it is no longer a recommended form of discipline for day care centers or preschools.
When a toddler goes into a full-blown tantrum, sitting him on a naughty chair will accomplish nothing. He will not learn to calm himself down. He will not learn how to listen any better, or share his toys, or refrain from hitting or biting when he wants something. He will only learn that you pushed him away. Time-outs can create clingy, fearful, dependent children - the opposite effect of what good parenting tries to achieve. We want our children to be self-confident, out-going, independent thinkers, who will not easily succumb to peer pressure.
