Teaching your child feeling

Young children experience many of the same emotions adults
do. Children can feel angry, jealous, excited, sad, silly,
frustrated, happy, and worried. The difference is that very
young children—ages birth to 3—often lack the selfcontrol
and language skills to express their strong
feelings in ways that adults find acceptable.
Instead, babies and toddlers communicate strong
emotions through their sounds and actions. The article below will take you through these emotions. Great read

Toddlers and Behaviors

The year between age 2 and age 3 is an exciting one. Toddlers are realizing that they are separate individuals from their parents and caregivers. This means that they are driven to assert themselves, to communicate their likes and dislikes, and to act independently (as much as they can!). Toddlers are also developing the language skills that help them express their ideas, wants, and needs. At the same time, toddlers do not understand logic and still have a hard time with waiting and self-control. In a nutshell: Two-year-olds want what they want when they want it. This is why you may be hearing things like “no” and “me do it” and “no diaper change!” more than ever before. To read the full article click the link below
