Did you know a Toddler's Brain OUTPERFORMS OURS? Keep reading!
Here's a wonderful talk from Dr. Harvey Karp on TODDLERS and discipline:
My famous quotation:"Why are the TERRIBLE TWOS so terrible?
Because: You keep THEM from doing what THEY want to do, and they keep YOU from doing what YOU want to do!"
–Ruth ElliottIN OTHER WORDS: You have to WATCH THEM ALL THE TIME!
However it doesn't have to be TERRIBLE - but it IS terribly important!
What TODDLERS need is:
- 1- Constant observation
- 2- Someone to be sensetive to them to understand their needs,
- A safe environment that can direct them towards positive age appropriate activites,
- 3- intentional guidance to distract them away from things that would lead them astray,
- 4- when they do get into trouble or make a mistake, to patiently explain why it was not good to do that, or could hurt them, etc. Encouragement and acceptance.
A marvelous researcher, Magda Gerber, founded RIE (RESOURCES for INFANT EDUCARERS) where she shares many wonderful helps: http://www.rie.org/educaring/ries-basic-principles.
