Is is too late by this age. For some reason I haven't been able to get him to mind me in any way sometimes he does but most times he doesn't. It is very frustrating for me and makes me feel like a inadequte mother. I am 43 y o and it is so disheartening for me and I get so very frustrated with him I am now taking parenting one on one with a lady at one of our local community centers. She has introduced me to timeouts and I am struggling with it but trying my best. She introduced routine and stucture as well but we haven't got anything into practice on that yet and I know I need to in order for everything else to word properly for me in parenting. Any advice or where to go for advice. Thanks, Ginger I have been trying to figure out how to properly disipline my child who is a 3 y o boy. Is is too late by this age.

I hate being so rigid but I find that issuing ultimatums and then sticking to them is the ONLY way to deal with her these days. Otherwise she tries to coerce me into doing things her way... my daughter is three and a half and has just started to test me… I hate being so rigid but I find that issuing ultimatums and then sticking to them is the ONLY way to deal with her these days.

That always gets my 19 month olds attention and she comes right over saying "help."

A few of my friends have recommended this book. At just about 19 months, Bub is just starting to get into the tantrum stage and it would be great to read up before the "terrible twos" are full blown! Right now, everytime a tantrum starts, we cuddle and nurse thru it, but eventually I will need new ideas for navigating a tantrum! lol This book would be great! I'm really interested in checking it out! We try to be as gentle and "AP" in our discipline as possible, so this would be a good read! Thanks for the post! I loved the interview!

I have a 1 1/2 and a 2 1/2 year old and they both seem to do well with distraction, but the older one is starting to see through it. I have now moved onto options and this seems to work fairly well. For example when she wants to get dressed in the morning, I give her 2 or 3 options of clothes to wear. That way she still feels like she was a big girl and picked it out herself and I know that she will at least match on our way out the door! Hi, I’ve found that distraction works great as well!
