Hi,
I am hoping someone will be able to help me. My DD just turned 2 and is generally a very good girl, but she loves throwing things and having temper tantrums whenever she does not get her way, even for tiny things ( I also should mention that have a 7 week old but still spend a ton of time with my older one). In regards to throwing she throws toys, food, you name it just for the sake of throwing. I bought a book on the method of 123 then timeout; however, this doesn't seem to work as when I tell her that I will put her in the naughty corner she finds it to be more of a game and doesn't mind sitting there. Sometimes she will even do something bad and then tell me that she is going in the naughty corner.
I have also tried taking her favourite toys away but then she starts crying hysterically and in the end she still continues to throw or do whatever she wanted to do.
I just wanted to hear about different methods of discipline that you use with your kids to see if any of those methods will work for me. Also, do you think 2 years old is too early for time outs, does she not fully understand it?
Any input is greatly appreciated as I need to get a handle on it, since I feel that if I don't know, she will end up taking advantage later on and get worse.
Thanks.
