Toddler discipline ideas

Small children are not reasonable people, as anyone dealing with a pair at the same time has certainly noticed. Remember the time that I was running some errands in town and I remembered that I had to stop at a store that sells candy and sweets of every description, to buy a package and have it gift-wrapped for a present for someone else.

 What happened to be a big mistake, because I happened to be with my baby at the time and was not only ready to leave those heavenly surroundings at that point. Just refused to support itself on its legs, sank to the ground, his body stiffened and did all the things children do when they are not going to be cooperative. Exactly how do you deal with child discipline, especially when it comes to a public situation?
We all love seeing children succeed; We just want them not to throw a tantrum in the process. Let's say you have your baby in car on the way back from the supermarket. So there you are attempting in the seat behind her belt, and she serves just like you wouldn't believe. Some parents like to distract the children with funny faces, a little story about rabbits and birds as they take their eyes off what you're doing for the second. If that doesn't work, I'm always happy to make use of an unabashed bribe that I have in my pocket for just these circumstances. I'll dangle a treat that loves right before her eyes and tell her to now sit still for a second and you'll get it. Effective discipline based on the toddler can sometimes take a back seat to expediency.
About nine every night, it's time to rage around our family. My three year old daughter needs to brush his teeth. Only, there is nothing on earth that hates so much as a furry stick wiggling around in her mouth. And I discovered one day by accident how to navigate the situation. At first my mistake was I would say, "now you will be with me, so I can brush your teeth, don't you?". That is just begging to be knocked down. These days, however, completely sidestep the question of whether she is prepared to brush your teeth; I ask her if she'd like strawberry flavored toothpaste over the banana fruity one today. Now that she has something to aim his ire to different from all the brushing ritual, she is temporarily distracted from it. And if that doesn't work, just blame the dentist; and commiserate with her for being as unfair the dentist has been that we must do this.
Okay, there is no parent who hasn't been through this fight toddler discipline-vegetables. Toddlers can have food preferences and pet peeves weirdest. If it's not corn, carrots; and bananas suddenly can remind them of something slimy and disgusting when it was fine a day earlier. One thing you could try would be to serve salads and raw vegetables. Vegetables barely funny the stronger smell and taste when they are cooked. Or you could collect fruits over vegetables and helping your child get at least some fresh stuff in her belly
