As a parent now for approximately sixteen years I can really understand the fine balance between toddler discipline, and squashing the spirit of a young child.
When my first child Ellie was born I was totally new at this thing called parenting, and I found most of the parenting books to be contradictory at very best and some just plain stupid at worst. This may seem harsh for some new parents who are looking for a clear path as a parent.
I understand being a parent is a tricky business specially when it comes to discipline and particularly toddler discipline, if you go for the free range approach and just let your children somewhat develop in the vain hope all will be well, then you'll probably be living some kind of living nightmare, with your child 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 run the risk of completely losing the real essences of your children's character.
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 people would try to sell it off to you that way. 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 beyond.
I still find this to be with my 16 and 13 old children, I have what i call 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 recognize, however within those boundaries their is a lot of opportunities of freedom of expression and chances to grow as individuals which I personally feel is vital.
To do this though good communication is key while implementing toddler discipline, to this end I have been highly fortunate to have learnt things such as NLP that have assisted me shape my vocabulary skills and body language to get maximum engagement with my kids.
