Helping Toddlers See Discipline as an Adornment

  • Posted on November 1, 2008 at 9:47 am

Jay Younts (who wrote the book Everyday Talk) answers this question from a reader:

What advice do you have in helping a two year old to view discipline as “an adornment” and not merely as correcting bad behavior?

He gives three ways:

  • countenance
  • tone of voice
  • praying when we discipline, discipline that is not vengeful (or motivated primarily because of our annoyance or irritation at being disobeyed or the offense itself)

Every mother of a toddler should read his post.
