Discipling toddler

How do you discipline a toddler?
I’ve read on here that naughty step concept is no longer seen as appropriate but what do you instead. I am not talking about tantrums/ moments when they are upset but when they do things like throw/bite etc

We just said “no” firmly and consistently.

Never had a tantrum, never really had to escalate beyond that. Just firm and consistent and they soon got the message. When crawling they would be lifted away from anywhere they shouldn’t be and told ‘no!”

Never had anything damaged and never had to move anything out of their way at home or the grandparent’s.

Just say No

Don't give a long boring speech as to why because they will lose interest

I noticed that you asked about discipling but none of the answers mention that yet. For young children (for mine starting around 6 months, whenever they had teeth and biting became a problem) the firm “no” and removal of their mouth from the person bit and giving them a teether was all that was needed. However, as they age, a short explanation and addition of what they can appropriately do instead is helpful. Discipleship is disciplining the child and teaching them what to do instead, typically in the way of Jesus. Disciple Mama and Ginger Hubbard have more great resources on how to do this in age-appropriate ways.

Disciplining and discipling are two different words. The OP asked about disciplining. I believe there is a typo in their title.
