How to discipline a 2year old who is strong willed

Disciplining a strong-willed 2 year old can be a challenge. Be aware that strong-willed kids often become "bent out" when they feel unheard. Instead of punishing them, try to show them that you understand their frustration.

Positive reinforcement

Positive reinforcement can be used to discipline a two year-old who is determined and strong willed.
