One of the most challenging aspects of parenting is choosing an appropriate and successful way to discipline your child. When my 1st son was only a year old, I found myself wondering what steps I would take to ensure that my child would learn right and wrong. I couldn’t put myself in other parents’ shoes when they were disciplining their kids. I understand now that my child is 3 and I am a huge fan of Time Outs and natural consequences (when safety allows). -By the way, a 3 is much more challenging than a 2 as a 3 year old understands right from wrong and sometimes chooses the wrong.- If you are still in the dark about discipline and are looking for answers, this site-KeepKidsHealthy- is helpful.
