I’m here to tell you that it’s totally doable! When you say “no” or “stop” too often, it becomes less effective. Have you told your child “no” over and over and they just don’t listen until you end up yelling or sending them to timeout? It may be because nothing really happens when you say “no” or because you’re not serious until you’re yelling. What is more effective is telling your child what they CAN do and saving the “no” for important boundaries. Here’s an example: Instead of saying “no” when your child keeps trying to dump the sand out of the bucket, tell them what they can do! - “You can scoop the sand with the shovel like this!” - “You can grab the sand with your hand and watch it fall back into the bucket like this!” Your child will be more likely to listen if you tell them what they CAN do and model the appropriate behavior!

Here’s what I mean⬇️ Punishment is a temporary fix for unwanted behavior. Punishment such as timeouts, yelling, corporal punishment results in fear and shame. There is a misunderstanding that toddlers/children learn from being punished, but the truth is, they actually learn from being taught appropriate behavior. Here’s an example: Your child yelled at you so you sent them to their room. What did they learn from this? They may have learned to fear you, but they didn’t learn an appropriate replacement behavior. It’s our job as parents to teach, guide, and nurture our children and we can do this my modeling and redirecting to appropriate behavior.
