Punishment doesn’t actually help teach children $Punishment doesn’t actually help teach children impulse control and emotional regulation. Overall it just fractures the parent-child relationship. It can be hard not to take toddler behavior personally, but spanking, putting kids in a corner, punishing for “misbehavior,” all of this creates feelings of animosity and lack of understanding. Toddlers need “yes” environments (safe spaces to explore where they are allowed to touch things and learn from their surroundings), empowered choices (the option to choose between the green cup and blue cup, how they want their banana cut, what to wear for the day, etc.), modeling of emotional regulation, age-appropriate boundaries (“I can’t let you hit your friend, let’s use gentle touches, if you hit again we will have to leave” then leave in a calm manner as needed), plus lots of patience, love, and understanding. Toddlers don’t need harsh punishments — their brain can’t even make the connection between the punishment and their behavior. It just makes the parent seem mean and creates less harmony and cooperation in the future. Sometimes parents get caught up in thinking they need to overpower their kids into submission. This turns it into a battle of wills, fractures trust, and sets families up for resentment and dysfunction later in life. Free yourself, and your kids, from the narrative that children need to be punished for being kids 💖 ・・・ Images Via @transformingtoddlerhood #gentlediscipline #gentleparenting #toddlerlife #toddlerhood #toddler #parenting #parentingtips #attachmentparenting #emotionalintelligence #nonviolentcommunication$
