The Feelings Corner
Our littles have lots of feelings. Sometimes BIG feelings. Here’s a space for tips and ideas to help with those feelings.
These tips are helpful for all ages!
“Try this when your toddler won’t listen ⤵️
Say what you WANT your child to do instead of what they shouldn’t do!
🔻“Stop running” becomes “Let’s walk beside the pool”. You may need to go over to your toddler and hold their hand to help them slow down.
Why? 👉 Toddlers live in the moment and lack impulse control. When something piques their curiosity it’s going to take more than a simple “stop that” to break them away from their moment. And telling a toddler ‘not to do something’ doesn’t help them understand what they CAN do instead.”
