2 terrible 2 year olds !! need advice on disapline..

[mumto4girls]

Hello everyone,
iam having alot of trouble disaplening my 2 year old twins !! they dont seem to listen to anything i say and push my buttons to see how far they can get and what they can get away with lol.
Usualy one distracts me while the other does a naughty lol and then they swap while im disaplining that one the other runs off and does something lol its just all getting to much !! we have 2 other daughters also who need our attention but it feels like all we are doing lately is keeping the twins from doing something or getting into something.

I am not a harsh person, i dont mind them being children and getting into stuff but when it comes to thier safety and the safty of the other children i am very strict !!
i dont know how to disapline them at alll and would love to hear any advise.
With my oldest daughter she never went thoough this terrible 2 stage so im not used to it and having 2 of them is very hard lol

Yes this is the age where they are constantly testing us to see what they can/cant get away with and driving us bonkers in the process :laughing:

You may have to try a few different things to see what's going to work for your kids, but one thing that is important is to carry out the discipline immediately after the destructive behaviour has occurred. What works for us is to give them one warning, and then proceed to send them to the time out spot for 2 minutes if the behaviour continues. After they have done their time, I explain why I put them there and they are required to give me or the person they hurt an apology.

Another thing that works around here is threatening to take away favourite toys or trips to places they like :devil:

Oh and lots and lots of praise and encouragement for good behaviour :smiliedance:

consistancy, and follow through with threats (good or bad, and dont threaten with things that you wont do)
have you tried a sticker chart?
my twins are the worst behaved, they have the whole gang up thing going, and one goes one way, one the other.. and they are 8!!!

Hi I have 2 year old b/g twins.

I have started using the naughty corner. They get one warning then if the behaviour continues they get 2 minutes in the naughty corner. I put them there and tell them what they did wrong Once the two minutes is up I then get down to their level explain again what they did wrong, ask for them to say sorry then give them a hug.

It works surprisingly well. I even had my son put himself in the naughty corner the other day after he did something wrong:D

Good luck let us know howe you get on.
