Talking to Toddlers - Are You at Your Wits End and Would You Like Help?

When talking to toddlers would you dearly like to know how to easily and quickly stop bad behavior in children getting all the parenting help you need?

One way to become a better parent is by learning how to, using self-help techniques - after all, we as parents haven't exactly been given a step by step crash course on how to be a good parent, neither do I suspect did our parents before us and they before them.

With technology as it is today, the parent of today has a lot more parenting materials and resources easily available to them, self-help techniques, e-books etc., but which do you choose for you and your child.

Wouldn't you dearly love to have a better understanding on how your child actually thinks and then act according to this using tried and tested parenting materials.

Behaviour is driven by emotions, not logic. This is fundamental to everything. Behavior, for any person of any age, be it a parent or toddler, is determined by the way they are feeling, i.e., their emotional state. Parents will act based on their emotions and then they will justify such actions with logic. Toddlers and children on the other hand don't - they don't have the ability to be logical and their actions will be based purely from emotions.

Therefore, emotions of being happy, feeling fun and laughter will bring about good feelings and your child will act accordingly. Conversely, feelings of sadness, frustration, anger etc., will bring about the corresponding actions and negativity.

Parents on the other hand see it differently, they will see it totally inappropriate to raise their voice and bring attention upon themselves and why it's a definite NO, NO to have a tantrum, especially one in public. Does your child think this, NO WAY, toddlers simply don't care, children will think and act in a very different way.

It is for this reason that whenever a child is frustrated and angry they will want to show their emotions, regardless of where they are, and they quite literally do - THEY HAVE TANTRUMS.

Hence the communication problems and why as parents we often times lose the communication war with our children, can you see why?

For example we all know the story of the little boy who cried 'wolf' - a little boy bored looking after sheep who cried wolf to make the villagers come running and they did again and again and again until one day they stopped coming. When a parent keeps shouting "NO" over and over and over again, sooner or later the child stops listening.

That is why it is exceedingly important to know why and even more importantly, how to communicate when talking to toddlers and the best way is through parenting materials which give parenting help.

You need to learn to listen to your child and try and understand them so they in turn will understand you, breaking down any communication problems you may have in the process.

Talking to toddlers is not just focusing on one single problem. You need to focus on child/ parent communication, which is something that a lot of parents overlook or quite simply just don't understand or know how to - how do you communicate with a toddler who just does not understand the word "NO".

As a parent, we need to have a number of ways to get what you want without screaming "NO" at your child - and it simply works better.

Wouldn't you dearly love to have a happy and loving child, with lasting results that both you and your children will have for years to come.
