Parenting

Parentcaster

2 year old is constantly repeating the same "bad" behaviour
We tried being gentle and kind, but doesn't seem to work at all. We also explain the severity of some actions.

How do you correct this behaviour?

Building /moxito 🍃for health, mindfulness, fitness, @tipothehat for funding bangers ~ Full-stack mobile dev (iOS, React Native, AWS), parent, musician 🎹

What's the behavior? 2 and how many months?

My son is around the same age (just turned 2.5).

I think it's hard to give generic advice because kids are different, but a few things that I do...

1) remove opportunities for interacting with the environment in inappropriate ways,
2) when #1 is not possible...clear, consistently enforced limits

What happens when you tell her?

Going into the kitchen, opening cupboards (these are child proof, but she learned how to unlock it), and keeps grabbing things that are not hers despite us telling her constantly, multiple times
