Becoming a parent is the most graceful thing in life. However, there are times when we have to face frustration, moreover if we have to face toddlers or teens with such a headstrong character. There are children who always fight with their brother or sister, and when we told them to say the apology; they say it with funny faces or mocking tone. Well, if we have such situation, then the best way is giving them a team work job that requires them to work together as a team. With such job, they will know how meaningful their brother or sister is and it will automatically make their relationship closer.

Some children are having a sarcastic character. Well, we don’t know where they learn how to be sarcastic, but we might have the right to the TV shows. If our children love hitting their brother, or us, then straight punishment is needed. Of course, the punishment is hot by hitting them back, but by telling them that every of their action is having its consequence and put them in a room or a corner, so they can think about what they have done.

Frustration is one thing all parents often feel. One thing we have to remember is never show our emotion or frustration when we are near our children because they will behave like us.

If you are seriously to tech toddlers about to pick up their toys after playing, and the importance of it, it should be easier for everyone setting it up as a routine. This is true that it cannot be an instant teaching, but with constant advices and taught, they will follow you at the end. This activity is also getting them learning about the discipline and responsibility, in which it’s really important for heavier tasks they will have in the future.

It might happen to be so hard to do at first, but by combining some tricks and rewards for their accomplished tasks, everything should goes easier. You can tell them about how they will not be allowed to join other activities before they get all the toys into the box, and also offer them exciting rewards as they do the entire job well. However such reward offer isn’t recommended at all, but you can use it as the final solution though.

Another alternate way, you can arrange this activity as an exciting game for them. Ask them about how fast they can put away all the toys at the desired place, and make it be more fun by specifying the color of the toys, in which it also can be a good way to teach them on how to differentiate colors.

In dealing with the toddler, the first thing parent should consider to do is to teach them about discipline. It may sound way too early to teach about discipline to a toddler, but with some adjustment and adaptation of the concept of discipline, it actually can be applied to toddler, surely in his or her capacity of learning. You can start to discipline them in bed timing and teach them about danger.

There usually some battles during the bed time as toddlers usually refuse to put into their crib. And parents can do some exciting activities to calm them down, such as story telling, reading kid’s book, and many more. And so, getting them familiar with the routine, such as clearly stating about when they should go bed after other activities, should be helpful. However, parents have to also paying more attentions on the quantities of their sleeping hours, because toddlers, who taking a nap usually have lesser sleeping hours to take at night.

In keeping them away of the dangerous things around the house, such as knifes, fire, ad other hot things, parent should be really warn them. Use the good intonation and stressing around the words so toddlers will take it seriously. Don’t forget to give them rewards for the good things they do in obeying your words.
