whatever method of discipline that you decide to use must be consistent. It is the consistency that will finally get throw to anyone, child or adult.
Each child, just like each adult it different, so you must choose your method of discipline by that person, the only thing that is common in all people is that you must be consistent with what ever it is you do.

Re-direct. You would be amazed at how quickly their attention can be swayed. If they are having a fit over something, just draw their attention very quickly to something else.
Now discipline... that depends on the situation. If the child ran out into the street or something similar in which the child could be seriously injured, then a quick startling grab with a low abrupt voice "No!" and then time out. But if it's normal run of the mill 2-year old stuff, then time out for 2 minutes is sufficient. The key to time outs are 2 minutes only, no more no less. Any more than that is overkill and not effective. And they must not be able to see you, in other words face the wall or in another (safe) room with no toys, etc.

a firm No and move the child away from the problem ,2 year olds don't think much ,they are full of feelings and don't understand long talks so talk in a short straight forward way and with out too much detail you cant explain and ask them to behave you simple show them.don't expect more of a two year old than they can do ,like you cant make them sit still and be quiet for a long time ,and a tantrum is normal for them ,but not what you want so tell him its not good but don't get upset .

terrible two`s ,well it all depends on what you as a parent find as an acceptable way of punishing, if you tell a child they will get punished you must try and follow it through, you can try a naughty step or chair, or smack top of the leg or bottom without leaving a mark, smack on hand, ,if the child is very understanding you can take privalages away,, its good to show them attention when they are good and shun them when naughty,, all us parent s disciplin our children in different ways there are so many different opinions too,, i believe in disciplin as a child need s to know right from wrong,, and the choice must be yours ..

in the world only 2 years. still an angel that has not forgotten, as we have, where and why it is we seek day and night a love so perfect. you may not discipline an angel of God, but must find discipline for your own disadvantages, you can do this by kneeling down so low as to see the world on top of you again.
God bless us all...

Time out on a chair or something similar. You can't give in and you must make sure they stay on the chair for a certain amount of time. Talk to them and tell them what they did. Make them understand why they are being given a time out. They understand more than you think. Talk in a serious stern voice, no yelling no screaming and never hit them or call them hurtfull names. You are the adult here. Making them fear you does no good it does not install lessons, nothing is learned, just fear. You have to be consistent! Take away their favorite toy and tell them they will get it back if they behave. You are not trying to be their best friend you are their parent! Good luck!

I found that time out worked. Only if you were consistent and swift though. Start with a 2 minute time out. It can be hard to keep them in time out and listen to them yell, but if you give in now, it gets harder when they get bigger and smarter. It is also good to know what triggers unwanted behaviour and to try and avoid it. For an example if your kid acts up in the grocery store, bring a snack and make sure he/she uses the bathroom before you leave. Bring a toy. 2 can be a very tough age, so be patient, seek support (like this) and pick your battles. Good luck

There once was a kid who was playing in the front yard. His mom looked out the window to see him playing. She had told him not to go by the corner where there was a busy road. Looking out the window she sees he is were he does not belong and she runs out and starts yelling at him I told you not to go by the corner to which he simply asks “whats a corner Mommy”.
Every two year old is different so that is hard to answer. Ask yourself these questions. What is my point I am trying to teach? How much of the point can my two year old understand? Is there a way I can teach this in a way my two year old can learn?
Help them understand. Punishment at that age can be what ever it takes but who should be punished if they just did not understand

Time out, 1 minute for every year.
