After Catastrophe's contribution to the thread on NZ views on the proposed anti-smacking law, I though I'd start the very thread she suggested.
So, what are people'ssuggestions?
Personally, I have used a combination of being sat on the steps/sent to the hallway, star charts, pasta jar, removal of priviliges, explanation, ignoring of bad behaviour and encouragment of good.
These however, did not always work between the ages of 18 months and 2.5 years, with a non verbal toddler.
