I do not agree that children below age of 3 years can not be disciplined. I started using timeouts with my daughter when she was 18 months old.

Don't give in and be consistent. Timeouts worked the best for me - 1 minute for each year of age. I put my daugther in a chair facing the wall.

You just can't. They don't know or understand cause and effect yet. I have a 1 year old and a 2 year old and we just have to wait until they understand more. We say no! firmly and redirect them and sometimes they get it, other times they do it over and over for attention.

I know it is frustrating but hang in there!
That's just the way 1 and 2 year olds are.It's tough to discipline at that age.Yes--it can be a pain in the a**!But I have teenagers,and things get FAR worse...so try to enjoy them while they're still little.Good luck.
hi my daughter is 14mths old, she gets a warning i never shout i come down to her level and lower my voice so she has to listen then after that she goes to the naughty step where she stays for one min works for me! but never reward bad behaviour just try ignore easier said than done!! hope that helps!
u need to have a stern voice with them. its hard cuz they r too cute, but u need to do it, my boys are well behaved now, on the other hand my nephew, knows he can run all over his mom when he is doing something wrong, when i am there and he knows he is doing something wrong, he'll look at me cuz i'll tell him no and make him stop......the mother doesn't realize this....push over
You're getting a little crazy on your little kid. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Kids that age are little monkeys. They love to climb. Maybe you should get her a little jungle gym or let her climb on the couch.

Who said being parent is easy?

Until the kid is old enough to understand, redirecting makes a lot of sense. Being a parent for a kid that age is a full-time job.
whatever you do, dont give in, if you tell her no, then you have to stick with your no. if you see her doing it, put her on the sofa or bed and tell her to stay there untill you say, of course she will cry, but dont let her up untill she stops, and she will she wont cry forever. and keep doing that whenever you see her climbing. if she can understand, tell her why she cant climb. you have to be consistant, there are alot of ways to do it, but i think this is the best way, and how ever you chose to do it, make sure you are consistant, and let your no mean no and yes mean yes. because if you give in then she will know she can get her way by either not listening or throwing a fit
Children below age of 3 years can not be disciplined yet by any means,,, They all climb, run and jump and if not then they need a doctor care,, be happy that your daughter jumb and climb
Kids climb. They almost need too. But one way I disiplin that is more effective than spanking is the old nose on the wall trick. It works everytime for me. Make her sit still, with her nose on the wall. Draw a little circle with your finger and tell her to put her nose in it. But at the same time kids are going to climb and go fast etc it is part of learning their own physical boundries. Try to turn that into something positive. Take her hiking (with the propper saftey equipment) even at 1-2 it would still be okay to help her develope her physical strengths. There are also swing sets you can get with rock climbing walls on them. Hope you like heights!! Good luck with your little monkey
For this age time outs work best, they say one minute per year old they are so you would do one to two minutes. Be sure to talk to them and let them know why their behavior is not okay.
Ask your physician,and yes,they do know when they are doing something wrong. Jumping,hyperness,loudness,is not being naughty by any mean's,but if they are hurting the cat per say,you need to let them know,this is not acceptable behavior. I was told by my physician that you have them sit,if you need to hold them,then do so and you have them sit by their age,,3=3minute's and so on. If we dont start teaching them right from wrong,when they get older it will be a lot tougher on you as a parent,not to mention in school,children go to school at 4 if your putting them in pre-school,and you certainly dont want your child to be out of control and not listening,or sharing,ect when they do go. We need to teach them boundarie's,sharing,listening when told something,the little things like that,but certainly no screaming or hitting your child,that will just teach them anger,violence and of course could hurt the little one. discipline with love,but do discipline,as to many ppl dont anymore and let me tell you,kids today are way worse than year's ago,with getting in trouble,the statistic are so much higher with that. good luck to you,children sure are a blessing:)

Also,,how else are children suppose to know if they are doing something wrong or right if we dont teach them? I know it seem's wrong at such a little age,but by age 3,you definately need to be teaching,as parent's,we are also teacher's!! like I said,with love. When I make my 5 year old sit down for 5 minute's,I let him know that mommy love's him with all her heart,even when he makes a bad choice(children are not BAD,they make bad choice's)and then before he get's up,I ask him if he know's why mommy made him sit there,and sometimes he say's because he was bad,and I say no,you are not bad,but because you did what? and then he'll say,I hit my brother,and I say yes,and we dont hit other ppl when we are mad,ect,ect,ect..explain why your doing what your doing,and then give them a hug and tell them you love them when it's all said and done.

THE BIGGEST KEY HERE IS CONSISTENCY!! DONT DISCIPLINE IF YOUR GOING TO LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT NEXT TIME,IT WILL SEND MIXED MESSAGE'S AND THEY WONT UNDERSTAND.
It's all about the time out. If redirecting them isn't working then they need to calm down.

Talk to them and let them know from now on if they don't do what mommy says there is going to be a time out. That means sitting by themselves in one spot. (Pick a special spot or time out chair)

Then let them know with the Mommy 1, 2, 3. On the third strike set them in that time out spot and tell them they have to sit there for however long. A timer works good, like the microwave or over timer. For this age no longer than 3 or 4 minutes.

Sounds like at this point your redirecting is a positive reinforcement for the action cause their getting your attention. So make sure you dont sit there with them on time out or that will continue the problem. They need to see that bad behavior isn't going to reward them with attention.
