Physical Feedback

Hugs, high fives, and fist bumps make your child feel good. Honestly, a warm squeezy hug from your toddler probably makes you feel good. When your child learns a new color, word, or task, give them feedback such as “Great job!” and a high five. Your child will learn that hugs, high fives, and fist bumps are for positive things. They may even start to give you high fives for tying your shoes, cooking dinner, or clearing your plate.

Laugh

Sometimes it’s okay just to laugh. Let your child know that it’s okay to be silly. Have fun, and show them that they do not have to be perfect or perform all the time. Kids often have great laughs that make you feel even better yourself. 

Be a Soft Spot to Land

If you are a stay-at-home parent, sometimes kids need to decompress after a long day. This means that you may find that the thirty minutes after arriving at home is a battle. Stop fighting it. Let them meltdown and offer a hug and gentle touch. When the meltdown is over, you may talk about why they were upset or help them find better words, but sometimes it is best to let them get it done. 

Bottom Line

for Parenting Tips for Toddlers, Try to be understanding with your child. Think about how you would feel and how you would want someone to react. Let them learn for themselves, but be there when they need you. Parenting is not easy, but good parents keep trying and know that they will fail themselves from time to time. You can handle these years.
