Behavior
Toddlers are constantly striving for more independence. This creates not only
special safety concerns, but also discipline challenges. The child has to be
taught, in a consistent manner, the limits of appropriate vs. inappropriate
behavior.
Frustration and anger frequently erupt in the toddler embarking upon
activities for which he/she has not developed adequate skills to assure success.
Breath holding, crying, screaming, and the temper tantrums may be daily
occurrences.
It is important for the child to learn from experiences and be able
to rely upon solid, consistent boundaries defining acceptable and unacceptable
behaviors.
