Jimmy gets up as soon as he awakes. He watches TV, wanders through the house, asks (and receives) cornflakes after mum serves weetbix, watches TV, wanders inside and out, watches TV, throws a few things in the toilet, watches TV, plays with mums make-up, watches TV, and asks (and receives) triangle sandwiches for lunch after mum serves square sandwiches. Then mum says it is nap time. What does Jimmy say?
Jonny gets up at 7 am when a song plays. He eats the weetbix he is served for breakfast, he plays in his room until his music tape stops, then watches TV at the usual daily time, then enjoys special play with mum, then has outside time until he is asked to come inside for the square sandwiches (he did ask for triangles but was politely refused). Then mum says it is nap time. What does Jonny say?
Someone is in charge in your house.
Is it you or your toddler?
Who does your toddler think is in charge in your house?
If you are having huge 'battles' in your toddlers day,
ask yourself - who is making the choices all day every day?
