The skills mentioned in this chapter are the secrets. Young parents can use the skills provided by experts to better get along with their two-year-olds and help their children grow up healthily during this period.
Under normal circumstances, children tend to behave according to established rules. We can take advantage of this to set certain rules for the headaches every day and let him do things according to these rules. Agree on “sleep rules” in advance.
It’s important to accept and allow two-year-olds to demand “consistent” behavior in everything. Since children at this age tend to be “repetitive” and “consistent,” try to keep their own toys and other objects in a fixed, familiar place in the home, as far as possible, and cultivate His habit of placing things by himself.
A two-year-old child has learned to seek a certain sense of security. He will use some things around him as a source of security. You must accept and allow him to do so, and even be happy for his behavior. Especially when going to play or moving to an unfamiliar place, this sustenance is very necessary for children.
When giving instructions to your child, don’t frame yourself in a requirement that doesn’t have any room for manoeuvre. For example, if you want your child to put away their toys, instead of saying, “Don’t eat apples until you put away your toys.” Instead, say: ” It’s time to eat apples, so let’s put the toys away!” Even if he doesn’t listen to you, you won’t lose face because your words don’t work.
Crying is the best magic weapon for a child to deal with parents at this age. When this happens, our best way is to ignore his crying. Almost all parents have this experience: when a child loses his temper, you will be obedient to him, then crying will become a “nirvana” that he often uses, and then you will have nothing to do with him. , Therefore, he must be made aware that his bad temper and crying can only be exchanged for ignoring his parents, and nothing else can be exchanged.
Like younger children, two-year-olds still lack behavioral control, so always remember to put away valuables that are out of his reach. For example, put valuables and fragile items out of his reach, or put them away. This is not because we don’t teach them, but to teach him “common sense”. Only when he is old enough and has the ability to control behavior, the necessary “guidance” will be effective for him.
