Toddler Behavior

Why do people call the toddler years the "terrible twos"? The answer is simple, frustration is very difficult for a toddler to handle. He's not quite a baby, but he's not big either. He wants to do so many things like you or his older siblings, but sometimes he just can't. When he is having a hard time, a meltdown may be around the corner.

Understanding your child's behavior is the first step towards helping her cope. Try not to react negatively to her behavior. One of you needs to remain calm, and it probably isn't going to be her! Learn more about toddler tantrums, biting and discipline.
