[quote=Anonymous]You start when they start doing things they shouldn't.  When a baby reaches for glasses/jewelry/hair, you move the baby's hand away and say "No pulling," while handing the baby a toy.  It's enforcing a limit and redirecting to an appropriate outlet.

If you are asking about what age to start a discipline method, it varies by child, family and nanny.  I'm comfortable with most non-corporal methods, but I tend to mix positive discipline into whatever the family uses.  Positive discipline relies on a connection between adult and child, and the adult needs to be able to get down to the child's level and understand the issue to help them work out how to solve the issue.  However, I'm also anti-tantrum (like most nannies!), and depending on the child, tantrums are either ignored or the child is carried to their room to calm down.

No matter what, you need something in place by 2.  If you don't, you will be scrambling to figure it out then, and your child will not have the safety and mental security of knowing what is allowed and what isn't.[/quote]
