Discipline tips??

[playfelt]

For things like biting, hitting, throwing toys or tantrums they are put immediately in the playpen at the end of the playroom (set up just for this purpose) with a stern we do not XXXXXX. I then attend to the others wronged in the confrontation. When all seems to be better for them I return to the offender and pick them up so they are right at my face level and sternly remind them again that we do not XXXX our friends. Then put them down to go play.

For play infractions like not sharing, grabbing, pushing because of a toy etc. I just intervene, repeat the expected behaviour and either redirect both away from the particular toy, move one to another area or back to the area they were in or whatever just seems right given the situation. It is quick but stern and over as in not a long drawn out explanation or event. The older they get the more is done verbally and involving both in helping to solve the situation but not at 15 months. Lack of language causes so much of the trauma at this age that I do my best to minimize situations even arising for those that can't support themselves verbally and might resort to other methods to get their point across.
