7 mistakes when teaching children at the age of 2

Although the "walking" milestone is a very important step in the development of the early years, I cannot expect this is the time when I can teach my children all the rules and how to behave. In fact, there are many things the children do not understand

Here are the top 7 common mistakes when teaching children at this age.

1. Tell your children to look back on their mistakes
Mom keep trying to make them “look back on what I did” without knowing that the sentence has no value to a child this age.

2. Make your child apologize
At a toddler age, your baby will not apologize for regret, but only because you told him to. Don't make your child a habit of doing everything the way he or she wants and just say "sorry" and that's it. When your baby is old enough to be responsible for an apology, teach him this rule later, mom.

Teach your child to apologize Most of the time, children will try to hide the truth, lie, be crooked, or “hit the drum” when asked. Do not avoid scolding, forcing children to speak, but encourage them to admit themselves. Even if you already know everything, you still have to appear ignorant, then elicit, lead, create all the conditions ...

3. Always say "no"
Save the word "no" when you really don't need it. Instead of saying "you can't go there" say "you can get out of there". Remember, using active speech always creates a more positive feeling than "no" that, "no" that.

4. Easy to give up
Sometimes you need to be really tough and steadfast, even in front of a child with short, long tears or very angry. Don't be in a hurry to compromise unless you have the power to influence your baby's choices.

At this age, babies often use tears as "weapons".

5. Try to force your child to look his way.
You know, young children always have unusual perspectives. A spoon can be used to scoop food, dig a tree or turn the handle of a spoon to scoop the cake into your mouth. If suddenly you interrupt this discovery and tell your baby to do this, then you will surely fail.

6. Don't say the specific conditions you want
Make sure you guide your baby clearly and he is concentrating on listening: "If you pour the water on the floor again, I will put the bottle away." If your baby is older and understands a little better, explain: "Water can make me slippery, fall, have you understood?"

7. Try to teach your baby when he or she is hungry, tired
When a baby is sluggishly tired or blinded by hunger, you will try to "stuff" in the baby's head that this is good, that is not. So ... not only ineffective but also irritating to the baby, then you are also pissed off.
