As my kids grew up, I always appreciated tips from other moms who had kids in the same stages as mine or even a heads up about what is coming up.\u00a0\u00a0My daughter is in the middle of the terrible two’s phase.\u00a0 Here are some of her success tips.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Consistency is most important for parenting a toddler.\u00a0\u00a0Have a plan and don’t waiver, regardless of\u00a0continual whining, continual negotiation and even if it seems easier to give in.\u00a0 To be consistent, you\u00a0must first know what is important to you.\u00a0Being respectful, having good manners,\u00a0eating\u00a0properly\u00a0and taking care of\u00a0toys are top priorities. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Routines are important for every day organizing.\u00a0\u00a0Schedule pick up time regularly in intervals before the next activity. No one is overwhelmed\u00a0and your home stays orderly.\u00a0 Five minute\u00a0“heads up” prepares your toddler for what is coming next.\u00a0 “Five minutes until we put away toys.” The transition time helps them know what is next and get ready.\u00a0 Morning and evening routines emphasize the order of life too! In the morning we get up,\u00a0go potty, brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, and get ready for “school”.\u00a0 Every afternoon nap time takes place\u00a0between 12\u00a0 and 1.\u00a0 Routines make our lives smooth and tranquil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Potty training is a big step for toddlers.\u00a0\u00a0 A great resource is\u00a0Potty Training in Less than a Day<\/span> by Nathan Azrin and Richard Foxx.\u00a0 <\/span>It really works! Be sure to follow exactly what it says.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Time out is viewed as a time to reflect and refocus.\u00a0 <\/span>This is coupled with the beginnings of character training and communication.\u00a0 <\/span>We stress apologizing, stating what he did, saying he was sorry, and ending with a hug and a kiss.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My great joy at being a mom is watching my daughter be a great mom! <\/span><\/p>\n
