At what age children begin to be taught discipline? This is the question of plural surfaced among new parents. Discipline is often connoted with being assertive and a little "hard" in children.

If your child is 2 years old and threw the empty bottle after it, should we punish? Is not this the natural behavior of children? Similarly, other common questions.

Indeed, it teaches discipline can not be done immediately, but gradually. "The mistake is to assume equal parental discipline by punishing activity, whereas the actual discipline is to educate," said Deborah Roth Ledley prikolog PhD, author of Becoming a Calm Mom: How to Manage Stress and Enjoy the First Year of Motherhood.

When your toddler spilled food on the floor, for example, you can remind him that the way it is not good. Reprimand you, of course adapted to his age, and in an easily understood. And one more, "Do not by shouting."

Discipline, he says, is education from birth. For babies a year, for example, discipline is to socialize the children about the simple habits and teach him about boundaries. "The age of two years and beyond, you can begin to do so by giving examples of behavior," he said.
