When our oldest would act out, we got to the point that we could just say his name with that "tone" and he'd say, "Let's GO take a nap" and stomp off to his room. He would emerge a little later and we'd talk about what he did and he was good. He grew up but still hasn't grown into that huge heart he has...the most empathetic person I know.So I have twins that turn 2 in a couple of weeks so they love throwing fits and doing shit they know is wrong haha. How do/did you guys discipline your kids around this age?
We just started the Timeout method and it works pretty good.
Twins are going to feed and model off each other's behavior. They're just turning two and will not understand reason and/or logic.
Praise positive behavior individually. Don't spank!

What about tossing the kid/s out the window????????
I think many parents have wondered about that. I thought about it when my kids got to high school. Every day.What about tossing the kid/s out the window????????

You’re getting parenting tips from these degenerates?So I have twins that turn 2 in a couple of weeks so they love throwing fits and doing shit they know is wrong haha. How do/did you guys discipline your kids around this age?

There’s not a ton you can do at that age.
And don’t think you can exert any control over a full blown temper tantrum. Those just need to run their course.
Now here's the important part: while the lid is closed you periodically come up to the box quietly and shake the box pretty hard while repeating "repercussions! repercussions!". It's going to startle the kids a little, but in the end you're going to get a lot more consistent compliance. You're welcome!
Does she cry for 30-45 seconds, watch for your reaction and then stop?Our girl will be five in March and we have another child on the way in July, we find out the sex this week. We have to be pretty delicate with the daughter. If I raise my voice at all, it's instant tears and I just feel absolutely awful. I have learned to be much more patient, the wife (no pic) is awesome at that. I have quickly found out that the method my dad used, which was basically to instill fear with zero tolerance for jacking around would not work with our daughter.

You're getting played big time. C'mon.
Same. Our kids were very different on how they reacted and so we had to approach them differently.We had to treat ours differently. Our girl twin would break down and cry if you even raised your voice and would do everything she could to try to do the right thing
The boy twin was a little terror and would laugh if you spanked him. Easily the best punishment for him was to sit for a certain amount of time. 5 minutes on a chair at the table with nothing to do? Torture for him.
My wife's (no pic) mom (no pic) actually made them kneel on rice. I don't think she's from the Philippines, though.Kneel on uncooked rice for now. When they get older add balancing a heavy book in each hand straight out at shoulder level. If they drop or lower them, then they get wacked with some bamboo.
My dad said they did this in the Philippines and it worked on them. Give it a try! 😁
What are you doing when she's crying?She cries a lot longer than that. She's not playing, but I thought it the first couple times. Kid has a big heart.
What are you doing when she's crying?
Mine tried the tantrum thing once at the grocery store - cereal aisle. She was five. I asked her if she knew anyone else there who could take her home with them, because I was leaving. I left the cart took my purse and walked away. The second I turned the corner she stopped rolling around on the floor and ran after me saying OK Mommy.I would do the countdown from 10 when my boy was younger.
If we got down to zero, we didnt just continue to say “stop it”, ignore their tantrum or whatever you see parents do at the store when they hit zero. If we got to zero, he got a swat on the butt. He only got to zero once.

One and only tantrum. And I have NEVER bought Count Damn Chocula either. 😂
LOL she's 39 now and she's never bought Count Chocula either, but she teases me about it all the time.I am with you on the discipline...except that Count Dracula is awesome.
