0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to the Your Village podcast, Parenting Beyond Discipline, the place to learn about all things parenting and get your questions answered. I'm your host, Erin Royer.
0:13.7	So I have two questions I'm answering today, both about dealing with the common struggles in toddler behavior.
0:19.9	First, a question on defiance and the next
0:22.7	about dealing with throwing toys. But I want to share a quick announcement. We updated the
0:27.9	podcast page. It was getting messy and out of hands. So my graphic designer did a beautiful job
0:33.5	revamping it. I made the announcement on Instagram on Sunday when it first went up.
0:38.4	If you're curious, you can check it out at your village online.com slash podcast.
0:44.6	And I am going to get back to sharing some more short videos on Instagram with parenting
0:49.1	stories and tips. My goal is to get one a week and I have it on my weekly work schedule
0:53.3	so that I can be sure to get those done.
0:55.9	So if you want to see those, you can follow me at Iron Mom 2020.
1:01.1	But first, let's get to the question from Jasmine about toddler defiance.
1:07.6	Hi, Erin. My name is Jasmine. I'm a new listener to your podcast and love it. I'm a single
1:12.3	parent and work full time. My son, for the greater part of the day is in daycare while I work.
1:17.3	Lately, he has been more defiant than usual. He has picked up saying no for everything. We have good
1:23.1	days and we have bad days. It seems like when he's around my mom, he rebels even more. He will scream,
1:28.7	hit, or say no to me. I've tried timeouts, even spanking. He really doesn't hold anything
1:34.7	close to him to take away as a consequence for bad behavior. Sometimes, in order to get his attention,
1:39.9	I have to yell before he stops and listens to what I'm saying. He's almost three years old.
1:45.0	Needless to say, the two-year-old phase wasn't easy. I want to correct the behavior rather than to
1:50.9	assume he has behavioral issues. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. So first, Jasmine,
1:58.0	if you haven't listened to last week's episode, I would also go back and listen to that one right after this one.
