I am just wondering how everyone else is / plans on disciplining their child. Me and DH really have to get together on this but our ideas are on different ends of the spectrum.
I admit I do let DD get away with a lot, but that is mainly because it is usually just me caring for her and trying to do everything else in that damn house. I don't have time or the energy to get worked up about certain things (pick your battles). he is more strict than I am.
I have tried the timeout process but I have not been able to stick to my guns (which I know is worse). DD is perfect around everyone else, but can be a real terror to me. I think I am going to stick to the timeouts, get a timeout chair and discuss with DH what is OK and what causes a timeout and the length of the timeout. I just really want her to stop with the whining constantly. she cant open something, she cries, she want something she cant reach , she cries, she wants something she cant have, full out tantrum laying on the floor. Most of these I have just been ignoring and walking away. A few of the really bad things, kicking a glass of water over on purpose = timeout.
so any good reading material on how to handle toddlers and their outbursts? or tips/tricks from you seasoned moms? I just don't want her to grow up into a brat like my niece.
