Preschool Toddler
So you have preschool toddler? It’s great because it’s one of my favorite children’s stage. Every stage is special and interesting, but this age is amuzing!
Who is preschool toddler? That’s the question.
Surely a preschool toddler isn’t a baby. He can walk. He can speak. He knows what is potty. He has his own thoughts and view on the things. He has some experience about the life.
He isn’t as stubborn as he used to be before and tantrums happen not so often. Life becomes easier!
You’ve already signed with relief because sleepless nights are in the past. It’s easier with everything about preschool toddler.
Sometimes they seems to behave almost like grown ups. They ask about serious things and we wonder how clever they are indeed. They may ask about economical situation, discoveries in cosmos, God, love and many other deep things. And after this questions we very often we do a mistake.
There are two mistakes we can make while parenting preschool toddler.
1. We still think that they are babies.
For all parents their children are always small no matter what is their real age. But our children grow up and change. And we have to understand it. Babies rely on us in everything. We plan their days for them. We decide when to sleep and what to eat, what to wear and with what toys to play, what music to listen.
Toddlers and especially preschool toddlers know very well what they like in and what they don’t. They choose food, toys, activities and even when it’s more suitable for them to have a walk or sleep. And it’s really good, because those simple choices can help them to understand themselves and become independent. It’s development of personal freedom. Of course if to gave them the full freedom you’ll discover soon that you are under the reign of tyrant has no desire to share his power. Here the best way out is to keep a golden middle. Really important and necessary things are obligatory, but in other cases the Freedom.
Let our kids express themselves in their own desires.
2. We think they are already big enough to behave like grown up in all situations.
I often do this mistakes. I forget that my daughter is still a child and she is only 2 years old. In fact she most people think she is older because of that many things she knows too many things for her age. She can understand so complicated explanations about life. The thought is not to be so demanding. Emotionally preschool toddlers are small children and need attention, love and caress even more and more with each day.
