Time it right. It’s tempting to attempt a crash course in manners right before a birthday or a rush of holiday parties, but you’ll have better success if you choose a time that’s more stable and predictable. From: babycenter.com. Tags: toddler, temperament, parenting Toddlers are active and can get into a whole lot of trouble, fast… yet they’re still so immature emotionally. That’s why tantrums are so common at this age. From: theattachedparent.com Interacting with just one other child is a big deal for a toddler – inviting more than that may make it impossible for them all to have a good time. Showing independence is part of normal toddler development and this often includes refusing to eat foods to see what will happen. Think your child is a bully? Make firm rules that any nasty, mean or unkind remarks will not be tolerated. From: Raising Kids.co.uk Practice and hone your skills at being non-judgmental. Start labeling feelings and avoid name-calling. Say, "he seems angry," rather than, "what a jerk." When your kids are whiny or crying, saying things like, "you seem sad," will always be better than just asking them to stop. Depriving kids of the feelings they’re experiencing will only drive them underground and make them stronger. Don’t agree to a play date at the time of day when your toddler is usually cranky or overtired, at nap time or just before meals. Ideally toddlers should be well fed and rested beforehand. From: All Good Articles.com Model emotional intelligence. Your kids are watching very closely. They see how you respond to frustration, they see how resilient you are, and they see whether you’re aware of your own feelings, and the feelings of others. Regular routines help kids feel safe, and are vital for preschoolers, who grapple with big fears on a daily basis. Playdates can be a drag when kids haven’t mastered the art of sharing. When it’s your turn to host, go through your kid’s toys beforehand, asking her to pick a few special things she’d prefer not to share. Being shy can also be a normal personality variation. It is best to not push your child. Instead let him slowly adjust to new people and new situations. If the child knows the rules, impose the promised consequences immediately. If you make a habit of giving six preliminary warnings your child will learn to start responding only the eighth or ninth time you ask. From: parentingbookmark.com Stop a tantrum before it starts, parents need to be proactive and have realistic expectations of what a child can handle. From: babyzone.com |
