Dealing With Oppositional Defiant Behaviors
As your child reaches their second year in life they’ll begin to develop a view of themselves as separate and independent from you. This is mostly due to toddlers having gained control over their physical movements. Your toddler can now pull away from you and explore things that were formerly out of reach.
Coping with a Crying Child
Nothing is more touching to new parents than the cry of their baby, but your crying baby may present a dilemma to you. If you respond promptly to crying, you might feel you will spend all of your time responding to crying. A good understanding of the causes of crying and the consequences of letting children cry without a prompt adult response will help you approach crying children in the best way possible.
