Discipline for a 2 year old.

[Namey32]

DC is 2 (just, so nowhere near 3) and starting to test boundaries.
I'm starting to worry slightly that I have no plan in place for raising a well behaved child 🤔
I have been reading Jo frost's toddler book, but DC is not old enough to understand the explain warning, naughty step, explain again, apologise, hug routine. But is still doing stuff they know is 'wrong' and looking for the reaction etc.
What do/did you do at this age that works?
DC is throwing stuff at the moment. So I warn after the first time, then take the item away if it happens again.
Ignoring tantrums. (Or pick them up and carry them out of the public place 🙄).

What works for you at this age?

i dont think you can discipline them at this age (I have a 2 year old DD), I just try and distract her from a tantrum and not give in when shes demanding something and praise her for doing something shes been asked to. I guess being consistent is the key and lots of distraction!

2 is tricky because like you say they aren’t really old enough to understand.
I didn’t do “punishment” with my 2 year old. If he wanted to throw something I told him what he could throw, and where he could throw it.
There’s a book (the only parenting book I’ve read!) called How to speak so kids will listen, and listen so kids will speak, by Adele Farber. It’s given me some useful tips and ideas, and she has a version for younger kids. 2 is still on the youngest end of the scale but it’s a good age to start introducing the concept.
