As a parent now for almost sixteen years I can really understand the fine balance between toddler discipline, and squashing the spirit of a young child.

When my first child Ellie was born I was totally new with this thing termed parenting, and I came across most of the parenting books to be contradictory at greatest and some just plain stupid at worst. This may seem harsh to many new parents who are seeking an assured path as a parent.

I can understand being a parent is a tricky business specially when it comes to discipline and especially toddler discipline, if you opt for the free range strategy and simply let your children sort of develop in the vain hope all will be well, then you'll probably be living some kind of living nightmare, with your kid entirely dictating the agenda and totally running your life.

However if you go for total discipline as liked by many through the years, then you run the risk of completely losing the real essences of your kid's persona.

I want to say that their is a holy grail of toddler discipline, that you could follow and tick off the list as you go, and believe me many people would try to sell it to you like this. Just how I observe it, it's about two core things boundaries and communication particularly as your child begins to get to the toddler stage and beyond.

I still find this to be with my 16 and 13 old children, I have what i refer to as my fall back position, that's as long as I may go on any given issue, that's my boundary that in most cases my children over a number of years have learnt to recognize, however within those boundaries their is a lot of opportunities of freedom of expression and chances to grow as individuals that I personally feel is necessary.

To do this although good communication is essential when implementing toddler discipline, to this end I have been highly privileged to have learnt things such as NLP that have helped me shape my speaking skills and gestures to get maximum involvement with my kids.
