Positive Guidance and Challenging Behavior

“Strong-willed children often grow into strong-willed adults who become world leaders, world shapers and world changers.”

-L.R. Knost

It’s important to remember it’s normal for toddlers to exercise the word “no.” They are exploring how much they control in the world around them. Their brains are working hard to make plans and execute them (a wonderful trait to have as adults!) So rather than fight it, let’s find a way to support this development in a healthy manner using positive guidance.
