Stop, think, before disciplining young child Your two-year old constantly says "no", is in to everything and throws daily temper tantrums. Everyone says he's just going through a stage. But, that doesn't make it any easier for you. Parenting is a tough job. Children are rewarding, but they are also very demanding. Even if you know that children usually don't behave badly on purpose, every parent will reach a point now and then when daily pressures build up and they feel like lashing out. If you get to that point STOP! Instead: Take a deep breath, then breathe out slowly. Repeat a few more times. Count to 10 or 100 or 1,000! Splash cold water on your face or take a hot bath. Phone a friend. If you have someone who can watch the children, go for a walk. Put your child in a time-out chair one minute for each year of age. Play music you like. It is normal to become frustrated and angry. But, it's not okay to take it out on your child. Call the Child Abuse hotline at 1-800-858-KIDS (5437) if you need help controlling anger. 1 .
