Ok so I want a peaceful debate on toddler discipline if it goes sour then I will delete the post but

We are spankers. We also do timeouts. Depends on the offense.

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.

@squishymommy1 I love you, squishy! Even with our differences! ❤

@yayacarrington, I LOVE YOU MORE

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 spank. Very very rarely but I do. When they were little I used time outs more. Now it’s taking away electronics.

@squishymommy1, 😱😱 are you saying we are over? 😭😭😭

@damn.it.red, 😂

@damn.it.red, sorry girl. I’ve known Yaya longer 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@squishymommy1, 😭😭😭 I can’t believe this.

@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 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.

@squishymommy1 We've come a long way together! 💖

@damn.it.red what the hell. I thought we were a thing?!😭 Have you been playing me this whole time?!

@mckallalynn.., yeah, I’m a player. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@damn.it.red I feel like a dirty whore. 😭

@mckallalynn.., that’s because you are. 😐

@mckallalynn.. @damn.it.red @yayacarrington y'all are something else 😂😂😂😂 I love it

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.

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.

We are a spanking family when nothing else will work or if he offense is bad enough which is very rare we typically do time out or nose In The corner lose of privileges

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’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.

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.

For now, timeouts work for us. I'm not against spanking if nothing else works, but I'd use it as a last resort.

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..
