As a parent now for approximately sixteen years I actually understand the fine balance between toddler discipline, and squashing the spirit of a young child.
When my first child Ellie was born I was completely new at this thing called parenting, and I came across most of the parenting books to be contradictory at very best and many simply stupid at worst. This may sound harsh for some new parents who are looking for an assured path as a parent.
I understand as being a parent is really a tricky business specially when talking about discipline and specifically toddler discipline, if you go for the free range approach and simply let your children somewhat develop in the vain expect all is going to be well, then you'll probably be living some sort of living nightmare, with your child completely dictating the agenda and totally running your life.
However if you go for total discipline as preferred by several through the years, then you run the risk of completely losing the true essences of your children's character.
I want to say that their is a holy grail of toddler discipline, that you may follow and tick off the list as you go, and trust me many people would attempt to offer it to you that way. The way I observe it, it's about two core things boundaries and communication in particular as your kid starts to get to the toddler stage and beyond.
I still find this to be with my 16 and 13 old kids, I have what i call my fall back position, that's as far as I may go on any given issue, that's my boundary that in many instances my kids over a few years have learnt to recognize, however within those boundaries their is a number of opportunities of freedom of expression and chances to grow as a human being which I personally feel is vital.
To do this although good communication is essential while implementing toddler discipline, to this end I have been really privileged to have learnt things such as NLP that have aided me shape my vocabulary skills and body language to get maximum involvement with my kids.
