Choices Rather Than Commands

August 26th, 2009

The Benefits of Giving Children Choices Rather Than Commands There are many benefits in giving children choices rather than commands. Especially around toddler-hood, with their language skills not fully developed many children get stressed when given a command they are not familiar with.

 OK seriously I’m being bossed around by a 3.5 year old HAHAHA  Well it does sound funny, but at times it really goes on my nerves. Why on earth those 3′s are worst than 2′s. They should change it from Terrible 2′s to Terrible Toddlers LOL Everything is a struggle, and of course no one listens.
