Ok so I want a peaceful debate on toddler discipline if it goes sour then I will delete the post but
What is y'all opinion of spanking (not hard or painful to child) or tapping the hand when told several times not to do that certain thing
Do y'all find timeouts more helpful or spanking or bribing?
I'm at a loss for words with my daughter. She's almost 2 and every time I tell her not to do some thing she smiles at me and does it anyways and thinks it's hilarious
We don't spank or swat. My son is almost 2 as well. We use appropriate language to tell him why what he is doing is wrong and have him make it better. If it is a serious offense, like hurting someone else or not listening in a dangerous situation, we use a big voice (not yelling) to let him know we are upset and we put him in his crib to read stories until we have all calmed down. Seems to work for us.
Yeah for me usually time outs. My rule is I tell you once I tell you twice you go to time out next time I tell you you will get a nalgada in the butt..
For now, timeouts work for us. I'm not against spanking if nothing else works, but I'd use it as a last resort.
My daughter responds to a stern "no". She also knows "go to your room" which we use if she is getting into something she shouldn't be or continuously going after something we told her no to. She will go to her room and sit there until one of us goes and gets her.
I’m of the belief that if you won’t do it to an adult, don’t do it to your child. There is way too much credible research supporting how detrimental spanking is. No mater what cutes name one gives it.
We do both. It depends on how many times I’ve told her to stop and what she’s doing. Honestly, she responds better to me asking if she wants a spank. She doesn’t like either but if you say I’m gonna spank you if you don’t stop, she stops 9 times out of 10.
She laughs when I put her in time out.

I save the spanks for when they need to realize they can never do something again, I think over doing it defeats the purpose. Usually when they do something that could seriously hurt them or someone else. What works the best for me for the more minor stuff is taking things away, or for my older 2 they'll get an extra chore that has to get done before they get to do fun stuff again.
@mckallalynn.. @damn.it.red @yayacarrington y'all are something else 😂😂😂😂 I love it
I won’t spank my child. I grew up in a violent household where hitting us kids to discipline us was normal. I remember the fear of that and don’t want my son to feel that in any way. I’m part of @yayacarrington, peaceful parenting group and would recommend it to anyone who would like to explore alternative ways.
@mckallalynn.. No I don't believe in spanking at that young. I just recently started "spanking" my daughter because she's been so difficult the last few weeks idk what's going on with her she was such a good listener but now idk
I spank. Very very rarely but I do. When they were little I used time outs more. Now it’s taking away electronics.
We are spankers in our house, and do timeouts as well. Just depends on what he did or if he continues not to listens when told stern no a couple times already.
I'm all for disapline, but not when they are still babies. My son is 9months old and is already doing things that are dangerous I say no in a stern voice and he laughs, smiles and goes back to it. Its my job to remove him from what he is doing without hurting him, or being forceful.
