I'm a new mom and I'm having trouble deciding how to discipline my child. What do you suggest?

It's hard to give specific advice without knowing more about your situation, but it seems like the best approach would be to try to find a balance between firmness and empathy. You should focus on setting clear expectations for behavior, while also being understanding of their feelings and circumstances. Try to explain why certain behaviors are not acceptable and help them understand that they can always come to you if they need support.
