First-time parents will most likely have a hard time dealing with the behavior of their toddlers.
If they are not well-informed of the knowledge of how to discipline their toddlers correctly, it can really be stressful.
Toddlers can begin to exhibit problematic behaviors by the time they reach two years old.
They are not called "terrible twos" for nothing.
The behaviors associated with temper tantrums can probably be experienced up to their seventh year.
It is really important for parents to be equipped early on with the necessary techniques for them to have a head-start disciplining their toddlers.
One important aspect that parents need to know in toddler discipline is the proper use of language when communicating with their toddlers.
The choice of words can make a big impact.
It is important to use positive words most of the time when talking to your toddlers, especially when you are making your discipline talk.
Studies have shown that you will have a higher success in getting your message understood not just by toddlers, but also with adults, if you use positive words instead of negative terms.
Notice how a simple "Do not do that" is not always effective in stopping your toddlers in doing something bad? You might be more successful if you just tell me what to do instead.
Just like adults, toddlers will more likely listen if we tell them what to do, rather than telling them what not to do.
Parents should also refrain from describing their toddlers as bad, troublesome, naughty and other negative terms.
Toddlers can be affected psychologically that can lead them to behave more negatively.
It can also lead to low self-esteem.
