Tantrums are common but blow over" without toddler resentment

Limit setting is crucial

Express pleasure in the child

  • nonverbal messages
  • voice tones
  • reinforcement
  • pride in "doing"

    Great need for a sense of safety and ritual "Do it again..."

    Fears begin - need to be accorded understanding

    • P

    Does not understand right from wrong

    Not yet able to "hurt" others intentionally

    Toddler is "driven" to have own way -

  • strong need to "be" and be loved for self

    "NO" and "ME do it" are a constant reminder of the child's need for feeling in control -- this is a drive rather than a preference

    Choices work best in helping the child to feel in control and minimize tantrums and power struggles

    Craves routine, structure, consistency

    • S

    up/down
    in/out"
