[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Providing the occasional negative reinforcement for outright defiance can be part of teaching. It’s not mutually exclusive.

And the teaching will be quicker, more effective, and ultimately more pleasant for everyone than spending weeks in an extended game of taking away toys.[/quote]

Negative reinforcement should never be physical punishment.

How confusing- so a toddler [b]cant take away the of of[/b] another person for taking his toy or any other infarction but you can [b]take away his toy[/b] because he threw a toy? Is it because you are older? Because you are the adult? Because why? Why wouldnt that reasoning- since you think toddlers can reason/actively defy- mean that you just mean that they can [b]take away the toy of[/b] someone younger or smaller etc.

Follow your own rules. [/quote]

You can use that same argument against any other adverse consequence, including every single suggestion offered thus far.

And to answer the rhetorical question, yes, you are allowed to impose adverse consequences as the parent and proper authority. [/quote]
