It is wrong of us to expect our toddlers to be well mannered and following the rules or even remembering the rules that we enforce in our house. But it’s never too early to lay a good foundation for a future of good behaviour.
Discipline comes from a latin origin meaning “instruction/knowledge”. So discipline should not mean punishing your child but rather teaching them and giving them knowledge about right from wrong.
Few basics to discipline which I think are important:-
~ Love:- nothing speaks louder than your love for your baby. Make them understand that you are upset or angry on their actions and not on them.they should know that no matter what mischief they do you are still going to love them. This helps build their confidence and in return increases their trust on you.
~ Explain:- its important to explain why certain behavior is wrong and that they might hurt someone or themselves. Like don’t throw sand it will get in yours or someone else's eyes.
~ Be their mom and dad:- stand firm on the rules you follow around the house but do not be overly strict. Aim for balance and have appropriate rules.
~ Stick to the rules:- consistently enforcing the rules is most important. If it’s no TV time while eating then follow that consistently. But if you don't allow today and then its ok to watch day after because you too busy or not in mood it will send a wrong message and your kids will start feeling that rules are meaningless. And make sure the same rule is applicable even when they are with their dad or grandparents. No exceptions.
~ Be calm:- losing your temper or getting angry teaches nothing about good behavior, instead promotes shouting and yelling. Be patient in explaining to them about something wrong they did and let them know that it will make you upset if they don’t listen to you. I always keep saying this in all my posts be a good role model kids will learn a great deal from observing you. Follow the rules you expect them to follow, behave like you want them to behave. Be a human you want your little one to grow up and become.
Be patient and follow the rules regularly. Don’t give up - give it time. Once you consistently follow the rules your toddler will sink in and start understanding what is expected of them. #crazymumma#peacefulparenting#bbcreatorsclub

Yes exactly..... we don't have any right to stop them.... let them do the thing they want in their manner.. .yes we can improvise it... but we should not stop them
