Managing Your Toddler so You Can Enjoy Him
Your toddler is no longer a distractible baby. Right on schedule, he's growing up. It's exactly what he's supposed to be doing -- but it means challenges for you!
- Toddlers are beginning to experiment with their sense of themselves as powerful people in the world, so they can also be defiant.
- Toddlers are determined, so they can also be obstinate.
- Toddlers are exuberant, so they can also be impulsive about doing dangerous things.
- Toddlers are excited about exploring, so they can also get into lots of trouble faster than you can answer the doorbell.
- Toddlers don't have an off switch. When they get tired, they get more and more wound up, until they crash.
Here's how to manage your little maelstrom, so you can enjoy the terrific twos!
