A Few Guidelines That Will Help You As A Parent

Being a parent now for nearly sixteen years I can really understand the fine balance between toddler discipline, and squashing the spirit of a young child.

When my first daughter Ellie was born I was completely new with this thing called parenting, and I came across a lot of the parenting books to be contradictory at best and some just plain stupid at worst. This might sound harsh to many new parents who are looking for an assured path being a parent.

I can understand being a parent is a tricky business specially when it comes down to discipline and particularly toddler discipline, if you opt for the free range approach and simply let your kids kind of develop in the vain hope all will be well, then you are likely to be living some sort of living nightmare, with your kid completely dictating the agenda and totally running your life.

However if you opt for total discipline as favored by many over the years, then you run the risk of totally losing the true essences of your kid's character.

I want to state that their is a holy grail of toddler discipline, that you can follow and tick off the list as you go, and believe me some people would try and sell it off to you like this. The way I observe it, it's regarding two core things boundaries and communication especially as your child begins to get to the toddler stage and beyond.

I still find this to be the case with my 16 and 13 old kids, I have what i refer to as my fall back position, that's as far as I may carry on any given issue, that's my boundary that in most cases my children over a number of years have learnt to recognize, however within those boundaries their is countless opportunities of freedom of expression and chances to grow as a human being that I personally feel is vital.

To do this although good communication is vital when implementing toddler discipline, to this end I have been highly fortunate to have learnt things such as NLP which have assisted me shape my speaking skills and body language to get maximum involvement with my children.
