Almost 2 and in need of discipline ideas

Hey everyone,
I am in need of some ideas of good ways to discipline my two little ones. They are beginning to push each other, hit, kick, and every once in a while bite. My daughter will look at me at times after she does something to see my response and my son will try to swat at me at times when he is mad too. I put Gabbi in a time out and had her sit. Well, she looked at me, screamed "no" and ran off. I went back and tried again with the same results. Any ideas of some good discipline because I know that they are beginning to understand "no" and "stop" and are doing things to see my response.. There are days when I am going crazy with saying "no" all the time. Please help!!!!!

 

When we started to implement time out, I would hold them in my lap, facing out, in our time out spot. When they got a bit older, I would sit there with them. Eventually they learned this is not a fun place to be. Just be consistent and redirect when possible.

 

I would suggest the book, Magic 1-2-3 by Thomas Phelan. It's an easy system to implement for timeouts and works wonders. GL!

 

I put my girls in their cribs for timeouts, for 1 minute.

 

We use a pnp for time out. Consistency is key. GL!

 

I'm right there with you! We have been doing time outs. I put them in a chair in the livingroom. Sometimes they stay and other times they don't! Right now I'm trying the super nanny stuff and just keep putting them back in timeout OVER and OVER x's 30 each. My problem now is that they get out and run to me with a smile and arms out b/c they want me to put them back in. It's a big game! <_< Or the one that I DIDN"T send to timeout is in the chair and playing with the naughty one. bla bla bla!!
I wish I had super nanny on speed dial Looking forward to your responses

 

We use a PNP for time-outs. Can't imagine trying to tell mine to stay in one spot...definitely need to be in the PNP at this stage. We use a kitchen timer for 1 minute and when it "dings" the time-out is over.

 

I need to try the TO. I just constantly try to redirect them, and my biggest goal is to stay consistant on the things that they cant do. Good luck!
