In order to thrive with a toddler, we need to understand how we might be inadvertently creating tension or growing some negative self talk in the childs mind which can elevate anger, exhaustion, and disconnect for both parent and child. This usually happens when we are trying to manage our toddlers while they are breaking things, hitting, fighting us when we want to get them out the door, not wanting to eat, refusing to use the toilet when they obviously need to, crawling out of their beds, or having a complete meltdown. Many parents say, My toddler just wont listen! Thats right, toddlers dont listen. Toddlers dont really have the ability to listen, they form learning associations like, When I throw my food, it gets taken away and I get hungry. That sucks; Ill try not to do that again. It might take some time for the association to actually turn into action. - See more at: yummymummyclub.ca/blogs/andrea-nair-button-pushing/20130407/thriving-with-a-toddler#sthash.OiljYFdP.dpuf
