Children don’t learn to tame their aggressive instincts naturally. They need to be taught. Here’s how you can help:

Knowing your toddler. Understand your child routine, behavior and custom. Determine the time of day that your toddler tends to be overtired and avoid play dates then or monitor them closely.

Be firm with the rule. Give understandings and massages when your toddler watches violent activities (from television, movies or on the street). Put some rules of those kinds of behavior. Read the rest of this entry »

There is no denying that disarming an eating toddler and taking full control of the feeding process will bring any meal to be faster, more efficient, and much tidier. However, for a toddler, eating is not an exercise in speed, efficiency, and neatness. In addition to provide him with some nourishment, eating is an important learning experience – but only if he has the chance to feed himself.

The only sure way to avoid mealtime mess is to withhold all food and drink, which is an impossible solution. So you have to find a way to minimize the effect of his mess. Try using the sleight-of-hand measures to deal with food blowing, as well as the following techniques for food throwing:

Rationing. Many children feel free to squander food when a rich bounty is set before them, so place just a few bites of food in front of your child at a time. Add a few more as those are consumed. Read the rest of this entry »

For many toddlers, eating can be something of a bore. Busy with playing, learning, and generally having a good time, they’re often reluctant to leave all that fun for the radium of the table.

But most will be more willing to sit down for a meal if it’s fun, too. So give joy and merriment on his dish, or perhaps dare to create some merry meals of your own. Read the rest of this entry »

Children who are ultimately diagnose with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) were often very intense and high strung as infants; they cried and thrashed a lot, and were very very sensitive to sound and other stimulation from the environments.

Most children with ADHD calm down when their nervous systems mature, and they are able to focus their attention much better for longer periods, usually about the time they enter puberty. Some experts see this condition not as a “disorder” but as super active end of the activity continuum, which places the very quiet, least active children at the other end.

Although hyperactive children are sometimes thought to be slow learners, ADHD is not related to intellectual deficits. In fact, children with ADHD usually have average or above average intelligence; they appear scattered, however, because of their difficulty screening out distractions and concentrating on anything for more than a few minutes.

Nor the hyperactive child is “bad”, he is overly active because he can not sit still, not because he is very naughty or stubborn. And his parents are not bad parents either, if your child turns out to have ADHD, it is nit you fault. You did not cause his condition and should not feel guilty or responsible.

Unfortunately, toddlers tend to be even less kind to animals than to playmates. Animals – like vegetables, minerals, and peers – are merely objects to be manipulated for a toddler’s private entertainment, investigated for his personal edification. That these creatures have long ears, tails, fur, feathers, or other interesting appendages or coverings, makes yanking, tugging, squeezing, squishing, pursuing, and tormenting them all the more tantalizing.

But just because animal “torture” is all in fun for toddlers – they certainly don’t realize they’re doing harm – doesn’t mean its acceptable behavior. Teaching toddler to have respect for the rights animals is as important as teaching them to have respects for the rights of humans. These are some tips to teach toddler loving the animals.

Although in toddler’s year (around 20 months), it is still too early to start worrying about his future, in fact this kinds of behavior is more likely a characteristic of his age, and to some extent, his gender.

However, there are a host of reasons why many toddlers tend to be aggressive : Read the rest of this entry »

“TODDLER SHOOTS PLAYMATE WITH FATHER’S GUN”. It’s a headline we shudder to see, but we see it, or another like it, far too often. Yet tragedies involving young children and the guns they find at home are completely preventable. Not by hiding the weapon (children are capable of seeking out and finding, or simply stumbling into, just about anything their parents try to hide). Not by locking the guns up (all it takes is forgetting to secure the lock just once). Not by teaching children stay away from guns (curiosity can easily erase parental warnings and over whelm a toddler’s underdeveloped sense of right and wrong). But by keeping guns out of the home – period.

Toddler are impulsive and incurably inquisitive, perfectly capable of pulling a trigger on a gun, but not capable of comprehending the possible consequences of the seemingly innocent action. Keeping a gun in the home, whether you think your toddler can get to it or not, is leaving open the very real possibility of tragedy. The American Academy of Pediatrics and numbers of safety organizations strongly urge : “Don’t do it” Read the rest of this entry »
