We find that redirection doesn't enforce that what he's doing isn't correct, and he doesn't learn that the behavior is unacceptable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-method-of-discipline-for-your-25-3yo#post-2259571 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:30:57 +0000 Jess1483 2259571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly logical consequences, time out very rarely (maybe once or twice a month). Redirection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-method-of-discipline-for-your-25-3yo#post-2259566 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:28:15 +0000 Alivoo01 2259566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do time outs. Behavior still reoccurs, but at least he knows there's a consequence for his poor behavior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-method-of-discipline-for-your-25-3yo#post-2259443 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 00:00:31 +0000 TiredmommaMD 2259443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do time out rarely. Taking away privliges is something new were are starting which seems to be working better. For example: if they throw blocks I take away all blocks for 24 hours. If you complain about the snack that they chose, no snack. I tried to keep it pretty emotionless, no anger or disappointment- just simple consequences for poor choices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-method-of-discipline-for-your-25-3yo#post-2259409 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 22:24:49 +0000 dolphin 2259409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Redirection and time out.

A couple minutes in his crib. Then when we get him we talk about why he was there, what he shouldn't be doing and give a hug/say I love you.</p> <p>He usually spends most of his time out screaming "I'll listen" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-method-of-discipline-for-your-25-3yo#post-2259398 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 22:04:38 +0000 lamariniere 2259398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our main form of discipline has always been timeouts. They sit and face the wall or corner for a set amount of time. After, we explain what they did wrong, why it wasn't ok, that similar future behavior will land them back in the corner and then give them a hug or tell them we love them or something affectionate. It has been highly effective with my son and it works almost as well with my daughter. I agree with @pinkb: that the key is consistency. . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-method-of-discipline-for-your-25-3yo#post-2259319 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 20:19:52 +0000 matador84 2259319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Redirection, positive reinforcement, time out of behavior were to escalate. Spanking only if really out of control but that is extremely rare and last resort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-method-of-discipline-for-your-25-3yo#post-2259286 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 19:46:01 +0000 pinkb 2259286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do time outs. 1 minute per year of their age. It is sitting in the same spot, no toys, no talking. If she is really loud and crying then I try to wait until she calms down enough to listen. I usually face her chair toward the wall too. But you have to be very consistent with them for them to work. Not the kind where you sit them down and immediately ask them if they know why they did wrong. My SIL does that and it drives me nuts, her LO doe not learn a darn thing from it besides there are no consequences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-method-of-discipline-for-your-25-3yo#post-2259223 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 18:40:21 +0000 Applesandbananas 2259223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were using redirection, positive reinforcement, and natural consequences (when safe). However, we've been feeling as though these aren't as effective as they were in the earlier toddler days. </p> <p>What's your go-to? </p>
