I need these reminders. My toddler can/will understand these sentences.

Maybe another list suitable for toddlers would be nice, which uses simpler words and shorter sentences ? Especially “I’ll explain my reasoning in five minutes when I’m not distracted so much” and “I can see you really want that but I can’t provide it right now” – I don’t think toddlers really understand sentences like those. Maybe “wait” and a simple word which indicates the reason for the “no” like “not for eating” or “careful” or “dirty” or “not for baby”

as i mentioned in my blog, if all else fails, a hug is the best option. works like a charm.

even if my 3 kids have different personalities, giving them a hug after, makes it all better (tantrums, a fight or for bad behavior).

thanks!

Kid #2 is so diff from Kid #1 when it comes to learning. I need to use words like these when we study together!

Thank you!

I have a home daycare and am finding it difficult to deal with some of the behaviours the daycare kids are exhibiting… My kids feel my frustration and I sometimes expect more of them(mine were never big hitters, biters, or hair pullers, so I am frustrated when they retaliate)…
