To not know how to discipline my daughter

  • Nc for this as I was speaking to my friend about it today, wouldn’t want them to search me and find all my embarrassing posts 🙈

When we punish our daughter we normally use treats ie “no kinder egg, flump” however I know this isn’t a good thing to do. I want her to have a healthy relationship with food, and punishing her with treats isn’t the way forward. However, I have no idea how to punish her. She’s 3years 7months. The naughty step doesn’t work she’s not bothered by it. I could limit TV time but this would mean her sister doesn’t get to watch TV either which doesn’t seem fair. She doesn’t have a favourite toy so taking that away wouldn’t work as she’d play with something else. I get down to her level and explain why she cant behave in that way or why it’s wrong, I don’t shout. I give her 3 warnings before I say “no kinder egg today”. How do you discipline your 3yo?

I’m going to buy a reward chart and see if that helps.

I’m at a loss on how else to discipline her, she says things like “I don’t love/like you anymore” when she doesn’t get her own way or what she wants. we want to stop this behaviour. (For record this isn’t a saying she’s learnt from us, obviously)

Any suggestions?
Sorry, I know I’ve rambled, hope it makes sense.
