What do you think?
Answers:
yes, they don't really understand it. Try something a little less harsh, but very similar. I use a time-out area. It has a really dull gray stool in a very boring corner in the dining room. Don't expect your child to actually sit there for a whole minute at first. This will take a LOT of work. The general rule is 1min/per year old. When they get in trouble walk them over and sit them down in a serious but not scary voice. Tell them WHY they are having to sit there and that they need to think about it for a bit. Timers help. I use our oven timer. He knows he has to sit there until the timer goes off AND Mommy/Daddy comes and gets him. Timer goes off, go back, tell them again why they are there. That's important, once they hit toddler mode they need reasons to do things. Trust me, my son is a wild one. Once they are told they can get up our rule here is they have to say sorry. Since my son doesn't talk (speech delay) he gives me a hug or a kiss. Hope this helps!

As punishment? Yes that is too young.
A one-year-old wouldn't understand that. I got a tip on here from someone for my 2 year-old that a good timeout is the playpen since it's a little hard to get them to stand in the corner. My one year old has stood in the corner and it did work on her. I also did the standard "time out" which she hated. Depends on the crime as to how I deal out the punishment. I do spat her hand when and that works wonders for us. It is not hard at all but gets her attention that I mean business. 2 books are great helps to me: Toddlerwise and To Train Up A Child by Mike and Debbie Pearl. Hang in there! It is frustrating but training is rewarding in the end.
I would; nt put them in the corner but i have put my one year old in the high chair when ever she had her moments
no you need to set boundaries early that is the only way a child learns anything. alot of people will say no. but as a child and a mother now i agree with it. back in my day i was hit w a belt for being bad, 1 years old is fine to do that, but remember to stay in corner for no more than 10 minutes no less than 5 minutes.yes I think its to young...But you have to set boundaries young but babies this age would not understand standing in the corner.Firm voice or a tap on the hand May work.. The only problem I see with this is, a child of this age has a very short term memory, if left too long in time-out their not going to remember why they are there or what they did. If you explain to her in simple terms why she is GOING to time-out, make it only 1 minute, then explain to her in the same simple terms why she WENT to time-out.
This is why a child's caregiver has to repeat themselves so many times a day to keep the child from getting hurt, learn good behaviors, etc. They just don't remember the first 100 times you said it.
struth. I wouldn't suggest it until they are able to fully understand what is going on, like 2 1/2 or 3.
A one year old would respond well to redirection.
For instance, if they throw a toy in anger, take it away for the rest of the day, and pick up a ball, smiling and have fun playing ball.
If the little one is throwing food while in the highchair?
"Food up, baby down".Try again in 30-60 minutes and repeat every time. Smiling and using a cheerful voice the whole time. They will get it real soon.
Hitting or biting? "no" Express sadness or disappointment and hold a baby doll or stuffed animal,lovingly and tender."we love the baby, I don't want to hurt the baby"
Having planned activities that are age appropriate will do wonders for behavior problems. Music, clapping and dancing are one of the best! .Too young. Tell her no, and why, if she misbehaved.
