How to help discipline.

[rebeccatf]

My one year old daughter is already beginning to get a little misbehaved and cheeky. I just wanted to see if anybody had any tips to help discipline her? I have tried time out and also a stern "no" but neither seem to work. She does not listen and realise when things are wrong.

Is this a 12 month old?

What are her language skills and understanding like?

I find redirection and distrsction techniques work well at this age. But mostly avoiding situations or preempting flare-up points so that they don't happen at all.

What kind of situations make her behaviour get worse?

My daughter is 18 months. She isn't talking much.
She understands no but then will often look you in the eye and do it again. So I try and save no for really bad things (biting currently but it will apply to safety things like climbing on the table when she does that).
Minor infringements are normally taken away and I try to distract her.

No way would she understand time out. My 5 year old only really understands it as a time to regroup, I think he'd struggle with a punishment

What do you mean by misbehave? At 12 months they really don't have a huge capacity to understand rules so can't know that they are breaking them.
