I am having the most trying time with my 3-year son. Oh how I miss the days of tame pre-teenagers (I have pre-teen stepchildren). They may have attitudes but it's different type of attitude maintenance/tolerance with children/preteen than it is with toddlers. These toddlers have meltdowns and it can just drive you up the wall. In school, he is ok. However, he is having a time staying focused. As I have been told by everyone, it's normal. But how long do we continue letting "normal" be the standard? I do not want mishavior to be a standard because it is normal. I have been keeping up on my reading of toddlers and how to manage their behaviors and you know what it has gotten me? A whole bunch of knowledge and information that I know but when put into practice, it just doesn't work well all the time.
Toddlers require patience, patience, and more patience. They need strict guidance and boundaries set. This is their learning period of what is correct behavior and what is not. While I am going through this toddler stage, keep sending your positive energy my way bloggers.
