When do you start to discipline a child?

i disciplined my children at a very young age. i told them not to do things they shouldn't. they got reprimanded for breaking the rules and i explained them why. it's better to start off early because i think they will be used to doing the same stuffs over and over again. i mean, if they become used to sticking with the rules, they will be molded that way

The whole discipline in the womb thing is ridiculous - not just because the baby isn't even OUT yet but because there would be nothing to discipline them for, would there? A baby growing in the mother CANT do anything wrong anyway so why would you even start that early. Are you going to tell it off because it wriggles & put it's foot in the wrong place? That's just silly! I believe that the earlier you start the better but make sure the baby is old enough to 'actually' be able to DO things wrong. Start with 'NO' it's easy & only needs to be said when a child is about to touch something that he/she shouldn't touch or could be dangerous. So i guess the time to start would be when the child can sit perhaps, or once they have discovered rolling or crawling to get themselves from A to B. I guess you really need to be a parent to know when it's a good time to start because you will know if your child is able to get in to things, there's no need to be telling them off before they're even able to get up to mischief :) I hope that helps some ^_^
