4 Facts You MUST Understand if you are Ever Going to Effectively
Deal with Two year olds or Children's Behavior Problems
1) Behavior is driven by Emotion,
NOT Logic. This is fundamental to everything, including understanding
toddler behavior. Behavior, for any person of any age, is determined by their
emotional state. People ACT from their emotions, and they later JUSTIFY
their actions with logic. But small kids don't have the ability to use logic, so
they act purely from emotion. Keep this in mind when dealing with behavior
in toddlers.
2) We tend to overuse the word "No" when we talk to our kids.
This causes problems with toddler behavior. You remember the story of the
boy who cried wolf, right? The little shepherd boy was bored while watching
the sheep so he decided to cry wolf and make the villagers come running.
Before long, they stopped responding to his false cries. When a parent cries
"No" at every little thing, kids stop listening. The parent's cries fade into the
background. Behaviour problems in children can stem from this caveat. I'll
teach you multiple ways to get what you want without screaming "NO" at
your child – and it simply works better!
3) If you want to have any chance at all of influencing your toddler's
behavior, you MUST have rapport first.
Rapport simply means having an emotional connection to another person. I'll
show you how you can learn LOTS of ways to create this crucial emotional
bridge before you deal with children behaviour problems.
4) Language is a powerful tool and there are a bunch of tactics you need to
learn to create the outcomes you want.
Here's a specific tip: Use positive
language instead of negative language. This is explained in detail either in
the free audio lesson above, and in the video presentation.
