hi all, im new here.. i have some qns regards to my 26 months.. is it a must to discipline ur child to really listen to ur every word?? my 26 month cant speak full language yet.. he only say 'what is this' best.. example: last weekend we having staycation with family and he's been getting into fights with the youngest cousin.. he will cry without stopping when i said no to him.. i dont really beat him but last weekend, i beat him the most which i really dont want to.. i seldom use cane too.. and when the youngest cousin wants to play his scooter, he defend and cry again, but the youngest cousin also got wrong as she snatch while my son is holding it.. can someone tell me how old does they understand what we saying? currently, im preg with 2nd child @ 26 weeks.. im afraid i will breakdown if he wont stop crying.. he doesnt know how to stop, he just go on and on.. thanks.. And to add: recently i m super stressful about finance.. i take back home less than 1.4k.. i m going to change job but is until end of the year then can change as im expecting now.. i keep on feeling to stop work and stay home with my tod until i give birth.. but i cant.. i dont know what is wrong with me recently.. i feel like breaking down but no one understand.. they only will say is my own fault..

I'm sorry but no matter how frustrated or tired you are, how can you take it out on your baby? which is exactly what you are doing! using a cane on a 26 month old, or for any child??? its absolutely ridiculous!!! there are many ways to teach discipline to a toddler and the word does not mean your child has to follow every single thing you say word for word. the one thing that you have to do is ask your partner to participate more. and take care of the baby so that you can rest and get your energy and mood back. a 2 year old child can very well understand the basics of discipline, but you need to teach it in an age appropriate way, by repeating things over and over, being patient, and teaching as a role model yourself.
