Toddler Discipline Obtaining A Good Balance Of Behavior

As a parent now for approximately sixteen years I can really understand the fine balance between toddler discipline, and squashing the spirit of a kid.

When my first child Ellie was born I was completely new with this thing known as parenting, and I discovered most of the parenting books to be contradictory at very best and some just plain silly at worst. This may sound harsh to many new parents who are searching for a right path as a parent.

I understand being a parent is a tricky business particularly when talking about discipline and specifically toddler discipline, if you opt for the free range approach and just let your children somewhat develop in the vain hope all will be fine, then you'll probably be living some sort of living nightmare, with your kid completely dictating the agenda and totally running your life.

On the other hand if you go for total discipline as preferred by many over the years, then you be in danger of completely losing the true essences of your kid's personality.

I would like to say that their is a holy grail of toddler discipline, that you may follow and tick off the list as you go, and believe me some individuals would attempt to offer it to you like this. The way I see it, it's about two core things boundaries and communication in particular as your child begins to get to the toddler stage and over and above.

I still find this to be with my 16 and 13 old kids, I have what i refer to as my fall back position, that's as far as I will go on any given issue, that's my boundary that in many instances my children over a number of years have learnt to identify, however within those boundaries their is a number of opportunities of freedom of expression and chances to grow as a human being that I personally feel is essential.

To do this though good communication is essential while implementing toddler discipline, to this end I have been highly fortunate to have learnt things like NLP that have aided me shape my speaking skills and body gestures to get maximum engagement with my kids.
