Early Years (ages 0-3)
Dealing With Defiance
Sometimes the line between simple toddler immaturity and blatant tiny tyranny is obvious—sometimes it’s hard to discern. But knowing the difference helps parents set the tone for discipline and correction. How can parents recognize willful defiance in their toddler? What are the signs that demonstrate a little one has purposefully crossed the line? What can parents do when they do recognize defiance? And how can the difference shape their methods of correction and instruction? We are looking for solid, practical advice for parents. Your stories and examples (or those of friends with their permission) will help bring this article to life—just keep them true to life, not fictional. And if you find it helpful to quote or reference an expert, please provide a complete citation.
