[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I think the preference and the discipline are separate issues. They’re probably not related. Kids go through preference periods even when the parents discipline the same. Idk what you’re trying now but when my kid was 22m there really wasn’t any “discipline” except redirection and removal from whatever the bad behavior was. If you’re asking your 22 to respect a “stern voice” you may just be expecting too much developmentally, which could lead to frustration for both of you. If a 22 month old is drawing on the table, imo a “stern voice” is not effective. You have to calmly, without betraying that you’re upset about it, redirect (physically) to paper and/or take the crayon away calmly. A “stern voice” in that situation is just attention that reinforces the behavior. [/quote] This is helpful - thank you! I hadn't even realized that... [/quote]
