Just the other day we wrote down a discipline plan for our (just turned) 2 year old. He's overall a well-behaved child and we would like to keep it that way. (We do have our bad days though.) I tend to be pretty lienent and permissive--that's just my parenting style I guess. Anyway, looking for feedback from experienced parents (or whomever cares to answer). What do people think about this? What's missing? Anything that won't work?
1. Save yelling 'no' for dangerous activities.
2. Instead of saying 'no' or 'Don't...', show or tell the correct way to do something, or simply distract with something else.
3. Three strikes--meaning that he gets two warnings to stop a behavior and on the third he gets the object of misuse taken away.
4. Reward for good behavior--verbally or with hugs, etc
5. Be consistent about what is and is not acceptable behavior.
Not strict enough? Any suggestions? Thanks!
(pardon my spelling errors--my checker never works on here)
