Discipline from behavior at daycare

How do you handle disciplining your child from something they did at daycare hours ago? I don’t want to ignore it, but feel like my window of discipline is now over. What would you do?

I think it is to late to correct that behavior. Best we can do is lead by example. It’s easier said than done. I don’t think he has the comprehension skills to know they’re being corrected for what they did hours ago

I definitely think if it was hours ago it’s ways to late to discipline. But at this Age we can always talk- and getting books about hitting, bitting etc is always helpful imo

I was raised that whether you were at home or away, expectations were always the same when it came to behavior. I knew that if I got in trouble outside the home, there would be some consequences when I got home. The consequences would have to meet the age. I don’t believe it’s ever too late.

@Analisa (Lisa)the group is called September 2022 babies, so let’s assume the baby is 2. If you’re punishing a 2 your old for something they did hours ago than your information is outdated and not backed by any credible sources. We dont Discipline children based on how you were raised decades ago. These are different times. I’m not saying to be a passive parent, but to be the example and educate. Encourage and reward the good behavior. We don’t want children to develop resentment and anger towards their parents, and we don’t want soft entitled children either. It’s up to the parent to create a balance, set the expectation, and be the example. Sometimes tantrums biting and hitting are developmentally normal. It’s up to us to teach them it’s not okay so that they grow out of it.
