Toddlers - what a fun (and challenging) stage of life! As many of you know, I'm sure, managing toddler behavior can often feel like a full contact sport!
Share your hard-won tips and tricks for keeping things running smoothly - and helping those little ones learn and grow through their terrifically trying twos (and threes... and fours...). What strategies have worked for your little ones?
I'll go first: one thing that has helped me is creating a simple visual schedule for the day, with pictures. My kiddo can see what's next and - crucially - also see what's coming up after that. Knowing that playtime follows nap time or that a fun outing is after the tricky business of lunch prep seems to make the less-fun bits easier.
Over to you!
