RE: Building Powerful Kids - #1 Heart Times
Love your post. Our two year old throws the worst tantrums when she feels everything isn't going her way, even if it is just taking of her shirt to put on a clean one.
I can relate to this, so much! My youngest is 2, and she is strong-willed like there's no tomorrow 😲 Haha I do love it...
One thing I've been trying out with her lately, that seems to be giving me positive results, is to narrate and explain everything I'm doing and about to do, when I'm with her. I feel that it helps her understand what's going to happen next, and it seems to make her feel more respected and valued as well. The tantrums also seem to not be as prominent as a result. Just thought I'd share in case it might be of value to you.
Also, nice to see you're from Namibia, my sister-in-law's husband is from there! We hope to visit there one day 🙂
Will give that a try. Just maybe it might help with her. Namibia is such a beautiful country. You will love it here.
Definitely will one day!
All the best to you :)
the narration/prefacing has helped my youngest as well - Ive also found to get right in his face and give him a big squeeze really helps him calm down and communicate...
Definitely! Not a lot that can't be solved with a nice big genuine hug :)
