I feel like this age is pretty hard where Brighton is trying so hard to communicate with me but can't talk in sentences. I know he understands a lot and I am just curious if any of you moms with older or same age children have any advise on how to take on Discipline.?
I can tell he gets sad and disappointed in himself when he does something he knows he shouldn't (like hitting me) but then a little later he is still doing it. I tell him no we don't hit and then I tell him he has to sit in his chair for hitting me but he seems to like sitting in his chair. I'm sure later on he won't like it as much but does anyone else have any advise they would like to share or something that has worked for them in this stage of learning discipline?
Thanks :-)

I have found that Siena is the same way and it is so hard for me!! SuperNanny teaches that the only way for them to understand is consistency. I put her in Time Out and I have since she was 18 months old and it seems to be working!! She has to sit in a corner and I make her apologize after and say the word of what she did wrong!! I hope this helps!!
Your doing the right thing consistency!! If he likes sitting in his chair maybe put it somewhere where it is not as fun. Or take something away that he really likes. Or tell him he can't poop smoothies all over the house anymore. Yah that one should work.
I'm with them. Consistency is key. If he likes the chair try making him stand in a corner with his nose on the wall (we had to do it and Lex has to. She also likes the chair) or making him sit on the bed. Something he doesn't find fun. Make sure you explain before and after why he got in trouble. Lots of hugs and kisses after as kids that young start to feel you don't love them when they're naughty. Oh and the recommended time out length, if you don't already know, is one minute for every year of age.
