Your toddler is in full meltdown mode. You told them they can’t have dessert before dinner, and now they’re throwing a fit to try to get their way. Let’s be honest—while it’s clever, it can be incredibly frustrating to deal with. Many toddlers misbehave through tantrums or whining because (1) they struggle to articulate their feelings, and (2) they aren’t getting what they want. It’s easy to give in when your little one is acting like a tiny tornado. However, if you learn effective discipline methods, it will be easier to maintain your boundaries and help your child understand appropriate behavior.
As a parent, one of your critical roles is to guide your child through the learning process of distinguishing right from wrong—not simply to punish them. It’s a challenging task, but it’s necessary! If you’re unsure about how to discipline your toddler, here are some practical strategies that really work.
