Food for thought….

Ahh, yes, discipline. The easy, natural, carefree part of parenting. Said no one. ever.🤭

This parenting thing? Most of us are just winging it. So when we see our toddlers do something “bad,” we instinctively take away something good. And we get the logic!

BUT, it won’t work for toddlers. If we want discipline to work, to prevent that bad behavior from happening next time, we need to meet them where they’re at developmentally.

Toddler brains are WAY under construction 🧠🚧, still forming the areas that dictate impulse control, language and also: the concept of time. According to toddlers yesterday was Christmas, tomorrow is Easter and they don’t need to use the potty because “I did two days ago.”😲

So, if we want our consequences to work, aka stop bad behavior, there needs to be two things:

✨INSTANT IN TIME✨
The consequence needs to come instantly at the moment of the behavior. Their brains JUST can’t make the connection between losing ice cream 6 hours after hitting sister with the car.⁠ And when it’s time for ice cream 6 hours later, there’s gonna be a HUGE meltdown. Now they’re confused, mad, and growing more and more resentful by the second. You know what resentment turns into? BAD BEHAVIOR!

✨RELATED TO THE BEHAVIOR✨
The key for toddlers? Simple. Easy to follow. What in the EFF does ice cream have to do with throwing a car at his sister? They simply cannot learn this logic. And, alas, they STILL haven’t learned how to not hit.
⁠
Here’s some more Related Consequence examples you can use confidently today:

- Toddler is hitting brother with the car —> car goes away and we try again later
⁠
- Toddler runs away while near a street —> we’re holding hands for rest of walk
⁠
- Toddler throws food on ground —> food will go away for this meal

We really like doing jigsaws! 😍
They help with fine motor skills, concentration and problem solving skills, the children also learn about taking turns too, and it’s a great opportunity for language development as we talk about all the different pieces we can see 😊
