Hi
Ive been reading some of the other threads, and have a question that isnt really answered.
My dd is 15 months, and like all toddlers into everything.
She is testing the limits, and I want to know how to start installing discipline.
When I say no (like stop throwing stones, stop throwing food etc) she looks at me or daddy and laughs, and carrys on
I started putting her on the sofa and walking away - into another room, originally she cried, (and I ignored her for a max of 20 seconds which seemed to work) but now when I plonk her down, she laughs, clambers down, and does it again.
DH mentioned that we should start using the travel cot - where she cant escape and has no distrations like toys, and this sounds like an excellent idea.
I know 15 months is young, but she is totally ignoring a reasonable command, I dont say no very often, only when its something she is doing that is dangerous, or naughty, and I dont want to sound dictorial.
Ive read many articles about discipline, but non actually say how it should be done.
do you think putting her into her travel cot for a few seconds will make her understand, that by not obeying there will be a punishment, as it seems pointless saying no - than letting her get away with it.
any advice will be welcome
