Favoring the other parent

If it hasn't happened to you or your partner yet, it will: One day you're your toddler's best buddy. The next day, you're rejected and only the other parent will do. It can hurt, but try not to take it personally. Toddlers snub one parent and favor the other for no apparent reason.

Sometimes a business trip or other separation is behind the favoritism – a snub is your child's way of saying, "I don't like it when you do that." Don't make a big deal out of it or insist that your child kiss and make up. You also don't want to go out of your way to win back favor with gifts, which sets a bad precedent.

Your best bet is to simply let favoritism run its course. Before you know it, this phase will be forgotten.

Temper tantrums, sharing, and comfort objects :

Some days it may seem as though the littlest things set your toddler off. You serve her morning milk in the "wrong" cup and she throws it at you. Or she wants to go barefoot, even though it's raining outside, and screams her head off when you insist on putting boots on her. What's going on? Sometimes the triggers will be more obvious than others. She may be tired or angry. Or she may be frustrated by her inability to complete a task that she is determined to do, like putting a round peg into a square hole.

Tantrums tend to occur at the worst possible time for you. It seems like whenever your toddler blows a fuse, you're either in a hurry to get out the door in the morning, at the grocery store with half the shopping done, or in the waiting room of the doctor's office. What do these situations have in common? They are times that a typical toddler might feel emotionally overloaded, and also like he doesn't have your full attention.

If you're aware of the situations that trigger tantrums, you may be able to prevent many of them with minor adjustments or a little advance planning. Get out of bed 15 minutes earlier in the morning so you're not rushing around the house. If you must grocery shop with your child, do it when she is well rested and fed. Carry a favorite book or stuffed animal to doctor visits – anything you can do to keep her calm will help. Also remember that the occasional tantrum is a normal byproduct of toddlerhood and development. When your child is upset, stay calm, stay close, and use simple phrases to help name the child's feelings, such as, "You feel sad," or "You feel mad that we have to leave the park."

An inability to share doesn't help matters. But there is no "yours" in a toddler's vocabulary – everything is "mine!" So your car keys, a sibling's beloved stuffed dog, his dad's boots, the slide at the local playground – all these things are, in the eyes of an 18-month-old, his. Children this age can't really share, take turns, or understand why their behavior might upset someone else.

You can help your child begin to understand what sharing means by praising her when she does give a toy to another child or lets another toddler go down the slide first. When reading a book or watching a video, point out examples of sharing. Try to avoid scolding her when she doesn't want to; sometimes just acknowledging how difficult sharing is will make her more willing to do so. You will have to be patient and take comfort in the knowledge that other parents of toddlers are going through the same thing.

For a toddler, a favorite stuffed toy is a great source of comfort. He might also have some habits that soothe him – like twirling his hair, rocking, or sucking his thumb. Most children naturally outgrow these behaviors by the time they're 4, so there's probably no need for you to intervene now.

Emotions of 2 year old

A child this age wears her heart on her sleeve – and in her voice, her fists, her stamping feet, and her crocodile tears. You seldom have to guess about a 2-year-old's emotional state. Expressing emotions is healthy, even when they aren't happy ones. So don't feel you have to rush in to placate your child at the first pout or sad sniffle.

Let your child know that it's okay to be unhappy sometimes – it's simply part of life. Swooping in to vanquish the unhappiness sends the wrong message – that it's not okay to feel sad or mad. Solving every problem for your child also robs her of the opportunity to work through her feelings on her own.

What you can do: Help her label her feelings. "You're so mad at Mommy because she said no park today!" Let her know you have the same feelings, too, sometimes: "It makes you feel sad when we say bye-bye to Grandma. It makes me feel sad, too." If your child screams or hits when she's angry or upset, show her acceptable ways to vent her emotion, like punching a pillow or stamping her feet.

Your life now

If you find yourself bracing for those fabled "terrible twos," relax. It's the second year of life (the one you've just passed through) that's among the more challenging developmentally. The actual "twos" tend to be a bit calmer and even more fun.

Now your child can move about with confidence and play with less assistance. She can make her wishes known better than before and understands even more than she can say. And her boundless curiosity is balanced at least a little by an increasing understanding of rules.

Two-year-olds do test limits and disagree with parents, of course, but they're also developing more of a desire to please you. They want to be good! They want to help! Routines and consistency in your responses help your child learn the ropes and keep everyday life running smoothly.

Preschoolers Facing fears

Bedtime fears are common for preschoolers. But children can be frightened of anything from loud noises to the idea of being abandoned by Mom and Dad. This makes sense: Now that they're more independent and can leave you, they also begin to realize that you can leave them.

Parents must walk a fine line here. You want to calm your child. But you don't want to fuel the fear. How to tread depends a bit on your child's personality. Some kids may be soothed if you check under the bed for monsters or sq**rt special "monster spray" (air freshener or water). Those with a scientific bent may see your monster hunt as proof that the creatures exist, so if your child only seems more upset, back off and try talking more directly about the fear: "I know a dark room can be scary. I was scared when I was your age, too." Offer a practical solution such as a night-light or a special back rub to calm her.

However you proceed, don't minimize your child's fears. Bluntly stating there's "no such thing" or "nothing to be afraid of" isn't logic she's going to buy into. Those monsters are very real to her. Your job is to help her cope, reassure her, and make sure she feels comfortable confiding in you.

Some don'ts:

Don't threaten that a monster will get her if she doesn't behave. Her literal little brain will believe you.
Don't force her to confront her fears. She isn't equipped to do that at this age.
Don't tell her that "big kids aren't afraid." That doesn't take the fear away. It just adds pressure and makes it more difficult for her to come to you.

Happy Father's Day ❤️
