Terrible Twos

Hey guys! Sorry I wasn't able to blog in these past few days because I was searching for some textbooks or any educational activity book for toddlers. I have been searching bookstores and publishers all over manila but unfortunately I am not successful.

As I was browsing on the net awhile ago, I saw this nice blog from Dr. Greene about Terrible Twos. Like it a lot because it is very enlightening and I experience most of what he said not as a parent but as an instructor with the kids in Rockies where I used to work.

Terrible Twos are at the stage of Oppositional Behavior, give them n opportunity of limited choices to accomplish his task to gain skill at making appropriate choices, and at this stage if it's difficult for parents, it is difficult as well with the kids when they opposes their parents as they experience intense emotions. The children's desires tended either to be either responses to physical needs (he was hungry and wanted to eat) or reflections of your desires, things that will make you happy to get your attention.

For children who are tentatively learning to make choices, who is dependent on his parents for food, shelter or emotional support, it is even more intense. Dissolving tears is an appropriate expression of the inner turmoil that is so real for children who are in the midst of this process.

Cherish each learning experiences with your child, you will never know it had already passes and this aspect of your child's unfolding development was already present when he was conceived. Although you will have a large impact on it's course, it is not caused by something you are doing wrong, and it will not last forever.

I hope this blog helps.
