Thank you ladies! I’ll try.

@modom16, for example I ask him not to run in the house because he can eat hurt.

I either timeout or take away whatever he was playing with. He does get a warning or two though. Sometimes that's all he needs.

I do two things. I get on the floor on her eye level and ask her nicely to do something. On a patient day I give her 5-6 try’s. Sometimes I only do 3. If she doesn’t listen, then I put her on her time out chair. For 2 minutes, I plan to increase the minutes with her age. So when she turns 3 she will get 3 minutes. Once time out is over I grab her and ask her to listen to me again, (like picking up her toys).

Another thing I do is punish according to her behavior or whatever it is that she’s doing wrong. If she’s watching tv too close and I repeatedly asked her to move away and sit down but she doesn’t do it, I warn her “I’m going to turn it off.” By the last try, if she doesn’t listen, I turn the t.v off.

My favorite that works to this day is counting. I used to count and then spank him on his butt (not hard but enough) and I only had to do it once. Now if he isn’t listening I yell “1!!!!! 2!!!!! 3!!!!!” And by 3 he normally listens and if not I stand up or take a step forward and then he listens :)

What are they doing that you feel needs disciplined?

The only thing that works with my son is time outs. Whenever he acts up I put him in time out for as long as I feel is necessary. I tell him he cannot move until I say so and when he calms down I talk to him and explain why he can't do what he did that put him there
