I am the mom of an almost 9 month old. Raegan is starting to understand "no" and we're grateful for that. I have found though that I get less fussing and tantrums (yes,she learned early) if I say thank you for sharing when I take something away from her that she shouldn't have. Of course there is not really discipline at this point for her but if she is really moody/fussy I have found it is usually because she needs a nap. So she goes to her room for 10 minutes and if she hasn't stopped crying after 10 minutes I go back and get her. She's usually down in 8-9 minutes if being tired is the problem

My son is 21 months and is very strong willed and is always testing me and my husband.. We have had to just learn to pick our battles with him and stand our ground on some things. We mainly will tell him "NO" in a firm tone the first two times he tries something after that it is time out, if he continues to push it he will get a spanking. Now I know some people do not agree with spanking but it is the one thing that we have found that works with him discussing it with him does not work. The main thing that we try to do it to be consistent in our discipline. But while I try to remember to be firm when I need to be I always make sure to let him know how much I love him. So I try to give him lots of praise when he does do the right thing. It is a very fine balance of making sure you nip the bad behavior in the bud without ruining their will.

My 20 mo. old little boy is starting to spend time in the "time out" corner. His main reasons for visiting the "time out" corner are whining, running his little cars on the furniture and the walls, throwing toys. I am not certain this is going to be a successful technique for us, but it is a "start". I am very open to suggestions...is there anyone out there that has found success in disciplinging a 20 mo. old child??? S.O.S. --- I want to do something that will "stick" going forward...
