How do you correct your errant toddler? What forms of discipline do you use and which works best?

Hi Cherubina When my children were small, i used to correct them in a loving way. First i will stop talking to them. Then during the time of feeding them food, or making them sleep, i will slowly raise the topic and make them understand what mistake they have done and why it should not be done and what will be the result if they does so. Then they will understand and do not repeat the same mistake. So no scoldings, beatings but in a loving but stern way i will mend their ways. Now they are grown into youths who are gaining admirations and applauds from all his employers and collegues and all the elders for their extra ordinary talent and well behaviour

removal from the situation is the biggest that I use for my 2 year old. When she is being out and out naughty she gets to sit on the naughty step for two minutes. I use the typical Super Nanny time out where they are told explicitly...if you do X one more time you go to time out. They do the naughty behavior they sit in a predetermined spot for a minute per year. When they get up the time starts over until they sit for the whole number of minutes. When they are done, talk about why they had to sit out give a hug, kiss and say I love you.

I don't have small one no more. I used to use time out though. You could try that.
