I love the idea of UP/AP. I try to keep 2yo dd not overtired or hungry, remove things I don't want her to play with, explain why she can't do/have something, say 'no' and remove her. But the boundary-pushing is going up a notch (about to turn 2) as are the tantrums, and I find myself turning into shouty mummy which I hate.
Would the naughty step work better? And how does it work? Or what else do I do?
Flash points are boredom and perhaps jealousy, as it gets worse when I'm feeding newborn ds. Things I find unacceptable are jumping on the sofa, playing with the blinds, hitting me, throwing. All standard toddler fare, I know, but I don't want her to do it!
