As the saying goes, "pick your battles", it's best not to let our toddlers sense any weakness on our part, especially during mealtimes when they are testing their limits. remaining calm and patient while explaining the reasons for certain actions or consequences is definitely a challenge but helps in the long run.The key, I find, is to remain firm yet caring -- not an easy feat when tempers flare!
Do you think it's beneficial to have multiple strategies up a parent's sleeve? After all, every child is unique and situations differ!
