Baby announcement ideas and tips for disciplining your toddler

Photo

As a mom of an 18-month-old, I am entering the newest phase of my motherhood adventure...Discipline!

It is definitely a discipline you have to develop for yourself in how you react when your child misbehaves. I know it can be easy to yell, "No", when they do something you don't like.

It is also easy to resort to a spanking if that is how you were disciplined as a child.

I found an article today that had a few good tips for how to discipline toddlers.

I will say it definitely requires a lot of patience on your end, but I am sure that these tips do work and I plan to try them out myself.

If it will lead to a better relationship with my little one and a mutual respect in the future then I am on board!

The tips range from not disciplining your child for crying to no time outs.

You can read the full article HERE.

I also found a cute article that lists 25 creative ways to announce you are pregnant.

You can check out all of the great ideas HERE.

Share you stories about how you announced your pregnancy. Do you have any helpful discipline tips?

Please send me your suggestions and questions for upcoming stories HERE.
