4 Simple Habits That Make Parenting a Toddler MUCH Easier
Переглядів 133,680
3 місяці томуThese are my 4 best tips for any parent raising a toddler and trying to manage all of the challenges that come with it 😀.
Your toddler's brain is developing at an incredible rate. They're experiencing lots of new emotions, and learning how to deal with these big feelings is as challenging for them as it is for you. The good news is, this stage of development doesn't last forever. And there are things you can do to make it easier.
These tips will help you manage challenging toddler behaviour (including reducing the frequency of tantrums), and also help make life with a toddler in the house a little less stressful.
As always, I hope you find this video helpful!

I'm definitely doing the toy rotation. Our son has SO MANY TOYS! It'll be nice to weed out the ones he actually enjoys, are no longer age appropriate, and reduce the mess as well as not overstimulating him.

When my son was an early toddler we secured all kitchen cupboards but one! That was his cupboard and it was filled with all safe kitchen equipment. So he had the freedom to take out potato masher, pastry brush, tupperware and all sorts. His little yes space with mummy and daddies stuff he could play with freely and safely! 😁

Everything in this video is gold. I wasn't sure how to warn my toddler we're changing activities, so I just started saying "Okay one more ____ and then we're taking a bath." Where one more is honestly super vague it just means soon. But it helped drastically. I love the five minute timer idea, he's probably ready for that method now. We've been using the other points in the video, and it's amazing how obedient my toddler is when I just tell him behaviors I want rather than don't want. He has moods of boundary testing, but he at least knows what I want him to do lol.

Great video! When it comes to yes space, I think it’s important to have a shift in perspective and realize that for some time now you need to give up on things for the sake of child’s safety and development. We got rid of a coffee table for instance. And I rearranged kitchen drawers so I don’t have to worry that my 1.7 months old daughter is getting into trouble. She also likes dishwasher and I encouraged her in helping me emptying it (plates only, not sharp cutlery of course). By doing this she also lost interest in the drawer with plates very quickly 😂 It does take a lot of patience, but children really need our empathy more than anything. I don’t care about candle holder or picture frames really. I still have a nice and pleasant environment at home and it’s baby proof at the same time. I just told myself to take it easy and that it’s temporary :)

When mom was running her daycare, she had the ‘Clean Up’ song. When it was getting towards time to start a new activity (get ready for lunch, go outside, ‘school work’) she would say “Ok, let’s do the Clean Up song.” They’d sing through once while mom would put one or two things away, and then the kids would get engaged and start picking up themselves.😊

Hi Emma Hubbard, Long time viewer since you started the channel, love your videos! I was just wondering if you could do a video or provide information about baby skipping the crawling stage and going straight to standing/walking? I was told it leads to develepmental issues later in life, but when looking into it myself it doesnt seem like there's much research or it's just a myth? My baby is 6.5 months and not interested in crawling, he only wants to stand, he does air crawl though but he gets frustrated he can't move himself. He just wants to get moving like his big sister. I've been doing lots of tummy time and things to help him crawl like in your videos. What can I do to help him progress?
@jakobbrun6535 3 місяці тому
Good timing! Our 16 monther is starting to let her will be known - I can already see how the "do this" advice is so much more powerful than the "dont do that" one. Do you have any advice on how to get a partner on board with this advice? My partner has fallen into the habit where very often when I say something related to upbringing, I mean it in the worst possible way it could have been meant... Sometimes they even do the opposite of my suggestions simply because I cannot be right. Also, our daugther is rapidly becoming bored with some of her 12-18 month toys, even when rotating. Do you have an 18m+ toy list we can start to look into?
@beans4853 3 місяці тому
I often talk to my spouse about the issue I would like to see changed at a calm time as a by the way interesting thing i heard/read about. I then ask their opinion on it and discuss it as theoretical. Often if they hear about it in a non-threatening way when it's not in the moment, they see your point better. I also needed to accept that they have their own parenting journey and we can't fix it for them. It's also part of our children's life journey to have that parent just the way they are. Though we can and should try to help them out, you don't have to make them parent just like you

Hi Emma, I’m wondering if you are only treating children without health issues. If not, I’d love to see some videos targeted for special needs parents as well. Most videos I see online talk about the normal developmental milestones and issues, yet a video focusing on the adjusted milestones, advices for special needs parents etc. would be much appreciated. I’m sure the 1% (parents of children with disabilities or syndromes) would enjoy the visibility.

Anyone have something that works for a toddler who still throws food? We have tried 1. saying no, 2. food is for eating, 3. if you don't want it, just leave it, 4. food is for our mouth or our plate, 5. and taking the plate away after second prompt and returning when she seems calmer. When she does eat, we praise but she'll still throw, sometimes as soon as we offer the praise. We've been doing this since she started solids 10 months ago, and there has been almost no progress.
@salma_Nella22 3 місяці тому
My son used to do this and I realized that it was my reaction to him doing was what kept him going. Not sure if my advice will help, but in order for my son to stop I had to be stoic about him throwing food and let it happen. The cause and effect is a milestone that all babies reach. If he throws and you pick up, he thinks it’s a game. Definitely have him clean up after himself too. I wouldn’t pressure him to but have him try and teach him that he’s responsible for his own actions. My son is 5 now and we have a cleanup routine he follows.
@gypsymiller3683 3 місяці тому
When my youngest was just on solid foods a few months, he decided he could throw food (usually on the floor). Without any reprimand, I'd take him out of the high chair, put him on the floor and say "pick it up", and wait till he did. He did this maybe half a dozen times, and got the same response each time. Pleasant tone of voice on my part, patience. He didn't like the change to his game, but he didn't fuss. He just stopped throwing food and ate it instead.

@misstweetypie1 3 місяці тому
I think the same principle of rotation applies to books, and maybe your activity table depending on how you have it set up. With exploring, maybe just start going to new spaces after they seem like they have “finished” exploring the place. (If you always go to the museum, for example, and they’ve seen everything and are too young to enjoy rotating exhibits, then try going to an art gallery or the library on the next outing, or something.)

By only teaching kids what they can do, you aren’t setting appropriate boundaries for them. Perhaps a better alternative would be: if they do something wrong, tell them but also reinforce that lesson with an explanation of what they should be doing instead. This better clarifies boundaries for children. Not sure if this was implied in the video. But if it was, it wasn’t clear
@beans4853 3 місяці тому
I think most people by default say what you shouldn't do. This advice helps you to reframe some of it in a positive way. I don't think anyone uses it all the time. Studies have also shown that kids hear the action you state, no matter if it is preceded by a dont, as a call to do that action. If you say no jumping, they will hear jump. If you say your feet should stay on the ground, you're more likely to get the outcome you want

And sometimes for really big items like a pen, something he loves to play with and I swear he gas a stash, i give him multiple yes options. No, Mommy's pen. Yes, your car, train, book, snack. Kind of like trading

Giving them a safe and suitable alternative is so powerful. Makes them feel like they have a little bit of control too! Thanks so much for sharing!

That's really empowering for them! I also taught my now 2 year old that if he makes a mess he needs to clean it up. He can't just dump and go to the next thing. Makes him think twice before doing it again and he's learning on his own what not to do so I don't gave to say no. Instead I say "if you spill the cereal, you'll need to clean it up" and not "don't spill the cereal"

Stop doesn’t work with my new 1yr old. He’s smart, if you tell him no. He will stop and find something else to play with. The whole house is a yes Space but there are things we can’t move: so he knows not to play with certain things.

She's 14 months and won't stop throwing food on the floor. We are in feeding therapy. Not helping. So so so frustrated. We have her bedroom as a Yes Space in the Montessori style and the living room is 80% there. The kitchen and dining room is completely off limits unless she is in her high chair. Ive tried very hard to maintain a schedule. She is really an amazing child and the only issue seems to be around food. We know she has a sensory issue and won't eat anything wet, soft, or pureed. This is ery challenging

You need to be wealthy enough to afford a property with many rooms to have a 'yes space'
