I'm just curious to see what other people do-- I know every parent is different & ultimately it will be up to me:)

I started when they're 1 y/o. No spanking at all, just 'NO' and explaining to them. When they're 2, we started to put them in time out if verbal reminder doesn't work.
Dr. William Sears is a very reputable and respectable. Here is one of his books:
"The Discipline Book: How to Have a Better-Behaved Child From Birth to Age Ten" by Martha Sears and William Sears
I love him! Very wise!

it depends on what you mean by discipline. My niece and nephew were put into a routine of eg dinner, bath then sleep when they were months old and now they are in a great routine where they are asleep by 7:30-8pm which gives parents time. As for when my niece is naughty we usually put her in the time out corner for a minute per year old eg 2 mins for 2 year old. This seems to be working also.

Young-at about 6 months when she started to crawl and get into things. Of course it was a no to begin with and now at 6 it grounding away from tv or taking toys away but the basic NO is enough for awhile.

I started around 8 months. For the most part I would speak to her in a firm tone and it would make her cry but it wasn't hurting her. Besides at her age it was more effective than popping her hand. I would just say no firmly and shake my head. Now at 9 months when I shake my head she knows to stop.

Discipline means to teach, and I started teaching my children right from wrong since they could understand, respond, were mobil, etc. which was around 6-7 months for all of them. Simple words/commands, redirection, and tone of voice works GREAT

if your child does something unsatisfactory it is okay to discipline them. that means if you 9 month old tries to touch the stove. you tell them no. if you two year old throws a temper tantrum in the store you can spank them discipline needs to start at a young age and im not asying beat your kids no. i have come to find ouit that tiem out is more effective especially for older kids

I started telling my son no when he was about 7 months and crawling to play with the cat food. He caught on pretty darn quick.

i started teaching my daughter what is good to touch and what not to touch when she started to crawl...because i didn't need her picking up crumbs off the floor once i swept them into a pile...she always seemed to get to them before i got them into the dust pan...but remember it is your choice as to when to discipline

I started with the word "NO" when my daughter started crawling and could get into things.
