How To Handle Stubborn Toddlers and Maintain Your Sanity

Chances are likely, as your toddler grows and their vocabulary expands, that they’re going to add the word “no” or maybe “nope” along with the side-to-side head shake. Maybe they’ll even add in a foot stomp, cross their arms over their chest, or put their pudgy little hands on their hips.  And then, before you know it, you’re in a stand off with a miniature (albeit less verbal) version of yourself. But is there a right or wrong way to handle stubborn toddlers? The struggle is all too real. And it occurs daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Maybe even multiple times within the span of an hour if things aren’t going their way. It’s one of those things that parents have been dealing with…

When babies enter the phase of toddlerhood (which in itself is debatable) you may begin to encounter some behavioral issues that you hadn’t seen in your precious tot before. Things like biting others or hitting. Believe it or not, these are things that a typically developing toddler will do at some point. You may see it in the so-called Terrible Twos or you may see it when your toddler becomes a threenager overnight. But how do you tackle these issues? Are toddlers capable of understanding consequences for their actions? To some extent, yes, I believe that they are. Staying consistent and starting early are two keys when it concerns how to discipline your toddler. Common Toddler Discipline Issues Though it may seem that toddlers have…

We all know that toddlers are certainly capable of making messes and sometimes of epic proportions. I’m sure you’re familiar with the term “toddler tornado” and my Squeaker is no exception. Sometimes, it seems, that she’ll wait until I’m done picking up her toys before she follows my path to recreate the mess. Is this intentional? Perhaps. I’d like to give her the benefit of the doubt. She is still just a toddler, after all, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t help me out a bit. In fact, I was wondering about what chores I could possibly have her do. She does like to help with basic cat care like feeding and brushing. But what else can she do? What are other possible chore…

Are you teaching your toddler to ride a tricycle? Before we started, we wanted to find the best toddler tricycle. After that it was a piece of cake (mostly!). A lot changes when children go from being somewhat mobile babies to being sometimes extremely mobile toddlers. At least that was our experience when Squeaker started to transition from barely walking without falling often to running through the house. She’s a curious child, like most children tend to be, and while we have our fair share of moments with her testing the limits or throwing tantrums of epic proportion (over mostly unknown reasons)… toddlerhood, so far, has been fun. It’s been enjoyable to watch the development to this point and I will continue to soak up…

While it may be so easy and simple to just hand your toddler an iPad or Kindle, keeping them busy and occupied doesn’t always have to involve a screen. There’s nothing wrong with some screen time, just be sure that it’s in moderation. But how then, do you keep them occupied? Well, aside from some good old fashioned play time indoors, there are plenty of ways to keep your toddler busy. Some things are hands on, and why not? I have just as much fun coloring or playing with playdough as my toddler does. Other things you may need to do with your toddler and that’s okay too. They’re only young once and sometimes we might take for granted the opportunities that we have to…

Welcome back to another Freebie Friday! Taking a short break from the Bible based printable packs so I can further organize my ideas and look for the best clipart. I really want to do a pack based on the Tower of Babel so, that one will be coming up soon! In the meantime, I want to share a toddler toothbrushing chart that I recently created for Squeaker. We’re going to be setting up her first visit to the dentist soon and while we’ve done pretty well with tooth tissues, I want her to get in the habit of brushing her teeth. And since she’s loves everything “Owaf” that’s the theme we went with. We have a step stool next to the sink so she can…
