yorkc39`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll What`s your disciplining style? Are you more strict or lenient with your LO? Did you start discipling earlier or later? What do you do when your LO wants something they shouldn`t have?

i am totally leneient for now, my daughter is only 10 and half months old so theres not really any disciplining yet however i try and teach by using positive statements instead of negative ones and i do alot of redirection and repetition. I try not to use the word no and i certainly do not physically discipline her at this point but i am not opposed to a swat on the bum when she is older if it is needed.

oh girl, when my son was a yr old,i would thump his hand, or swat it if he didnt listen to me, now hes 18 months and get his butt spanked! he is very well behaved, listens to me, and doesnt wine and cry. hes such a great kid. everyone always asks why i have suvh a grea kid, be ause i was a terror when i was little. haha....i think dicipline is very important...im not strivt tho, he gets away with a ton, but serious matters he knows not to dothings because he will get spanked haa

I say firnly, `no` or `let`s not pick up the X`, If repeatly, I`ll gently swat/tap his hand. He`s 8 months.

I guess my disciplining style is one to be laughed at because I don`t think Garrett takes me seriously.. I don`t know if I take myself seriously. lol.. Hopefully DH will be the discipliner because I want to be the `good guy`

i started to lightly swat my son on his behind if he was not listening to us around 10months. or if we would constantly try to touch or grab something we repeatedly told him no too....we would swat him lightly on his hand and pull him away from what he was getting into. now at 16months we do the same only now we will stick him in his time out chair after a couple times of having to raise our voice no at him and then swatting him. i wouldnt say we are strict really cuz we do encourage his curiosity andlet him get into things we would really prefer him not to. We are only `strict` when it comes to him doing something that he could get hurt at, or break something we do not want to replace.

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
