Stubborn child

🌟 Why is this age stubborn?

Because you are...

✔ I want to do it myself. "I do! I'm good!"

✔ still can't speak immediately, so the mood comes out behaviorally.

✔ want to test the rules / boundaries of parents.

✔ became self-centered (into the great second year - Terrible Two)

🧩 The main handle when you are stubborn (immediately available)

1️⃣ Stay close, but don't rush to calm down.

In short, soft tone.

"You know I'm angry. Okay, you stay here. I'll talk to you soon."

Don't threaten. Don't be fierce. You'll relax.

2️⃣ Change the option instead of a ban.

Instead of saying "Don't do it!" try to give you a safe option.

❌ Don't climb the table.

✅ "If I want to climb, go climb to the soft couch."

❌ Don't throw toys.

✅ "If I want to throw, we have a ball to throw."

3️⃣ Use a short sense + rule sentence.

"I understand I want to keep playing, but now I have to put on my diaper and keep playing."

Short, concise, clear.

4️⃣ Prepare a topic for you to choose.

This age likes to feel that "self-choice" will reduce resistance.

Non-dangerous choices, such as

👕 to wear a blue shirt or a yellow shirt?

🥛 To drink milk, a bear glass or a cat glass?

5️⃣, organize activities for you to drain your power.

Children at this age need a lot of power. Without it, emotions freeze easily.

Power drain activity ideas:

🏃‍♂. Running, chasing, catching in the house.

🧺 Throw the ball down the basket.

🚗 Push the toy car.

🎨. Play finger paint.

🧱 per block. Blow up the block.

😩 If you scream so hard, use these three steps.

1. Safety first. Keep the danger.

2. Reflect feelings

"I don't want to stop playing. You know I'm so angry."

3. Don't try to teach while singing. Be calm before explaining.
