Question

Does anybody have a good behaviour/reward/punishment system for their 2.5 year old? Mine has become so defiant, I went and bought a "toy jail" box. He gets a warning, a countdown from 5 and then loses a toy and if he carries on he continues to lose toys. He isn't so fussed yet but I've realised this is quite one sided in terms of negative/punishment so wondering what I could do to balance with positives/rewards (that aren't food or new toys)

Time outs are a better way for a young child. So have a naughty step or spot in the house and have them sit for how long there age is so 2 minutes for a 2 year old. And keep putting them back without talking when they get uo and leave

I've just bought some stickers and said "well done here's a sticker! Good boy!!" And this is what I got back.... "umm no thanks" 🤦‍♀️ 😂 I'll keep trying

A sticker on the tshirt as soon as they have done something good or behaved well works wonders because it's an immediate reward. I also do a sticker chart for my eldest and she works her way up to a treat at the end of the week. She gets to choose (something within reason) xx

Lots of praise when he’s been good or done as he’s asked- definitely stickers for doing the simplest of things then and lots of “thank you”s and “proud of you”s. Try to ignore bad behaviour as much as possible

We do naughty step but count to 3 first as a warning, I always use sweets as a reward for good behaviour I know I shouldnt really because some times she ends up having a lot over a few days, my little one loves sticker so maybe sticker as a treat
