My toddler poured apple juice into her dolls mouth (it went all over carpet) I asked her to stop twice but she continued doing it, so I shouted at her and she started with a tantrum. I sent her to the naughty step telling her in an angry tone that she is VERY naughty and left her on the step to cry. After a while she started really, really sobbing so I went to her and she looked so upset and I just felt so bad. She is approaching 3 so I want to discipline her more as usually she gets away with too much as I avoid being really mad with her , but I just end up feeling really cruel and it doesn't feel natural to be angry with her. I've ended up giving big cuddles on sofa as I feel awful making her so upset. Any tips?
