Publisher's Synopsis
Do you want to understand your toddler better, know the reasons for his filings and how to address those fillings? Do you want a happy toddler with utmost trust in you and build a connection that will last throughout the years?
In Discipline Toddlers in a Loving Way, parents and caregivers learn to shift and reframe their perspective on toddler behavior in order to be able to get a clear idea of where toddler's behaviors are coming from. Parents and caregivers will learn that what often is viewed as challenging "problem" behaviors is really just communication. Our toddlers are communicating with us always, in the best way they know how: their behavior.
This book introduces toddler psychology to the reader so parents and caregivers can approach their disciplinary strategies with their toddlers with accurate and practical information on appropriate developmental behaviors (including the challenging ones!) and what can be expected as your toddler moves through this time of accelerated growth, learning, and ability. Readers will be given specific information on important aspects of toddler's lives, including eating, sleeping, playing, and even tech use. Parents and caregivers will be encouraged to learn and adopt new strategies for these everyday aspects that are backed by specialists and organizations that specialize in the research of what works and what doesn't for small children, and why, including the importance of routine to toddler's lives and how it fosters a sense of security and safety for them in a world that is brand new to them.
This book also offers a fresh perspective for those that find themselves feeling like their toddler's temper tantrums make them want to have their own temper tantrum! Parents and caregivers will learn specific strategies for all stages of the toddler temper tantrum: how to prevent, how to ride it out safely, and how to reconnect once it has passed. There is a way to help your toddler- and you!- better survive the temper tantrums as they come. It requires a perspective shift and some specific key phrases and strategies that are shared in this book.
Readers also learn punitive punishment is not only largely ineffective in changing behavior, particularly long-term, but it also carries a specific set of risks and adverse outcomes. There are more effective and healthy means of teaching toddlers, and this book lays them out for the reader, along with a section that includes common issues that many parents and caregivers face in their journey towards a discipline that is more loving and respectful than harsh and punitive forms.
