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)
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
You got to love kids! 😂 The things they come out with sometimes is brilliant xx
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
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
