DEALING WITH TODDLER TEMPER TANTRUMS

Fran 29/12/2009 4:00pm

No Time-Outs Under The Age of Four Years! Toddlers between 18 months and four years move back and forth between attachment and separation.  
The separation process is not resolved until age three to four. 
Children under this age are not developed enough to handle or understand a time out.

“SPECIAL TIME”

Fran 28/12/2009 4:00pm

I found that children are happier and more secure when they have a short non-interrupted opportunity every day to connect with their parent (s) on a one-on-one level.  Living in today's world is demanding and stressful.  It is an enormous job to meet the caretaking, educational, and emotional needs of all children.  Many families have two working parents where time constraints are especially present.
