Share your toddler stories - good or bad!

From the lens Communicating with Toddlers.

There are loads of funny stories about toddlers. Share your amusing experiences and horror stories about the toddler in your life (or some other poor schmuck's!)

    Pre-toddlers, terrible-two's often display behaviour such as hitting, hair pulling, grabbing or pinching. In many cases, these are expressions of inability to communicate. In other cases, those behaviours are to "show-off", dominate. In most cases though, this behaviour can be classified as attention-seeking behaviour from either peers or adults.

    My website runs free modules dealing with behaviour and the management of it. Visit www.terribletoo.com to learn effective behavior management strategies for dealing with terrible twos! IT has helped many parents and does not cost a thing.

    Great lens. My latest grandchild is 13 months so I think much of what you have revealed here will soon come into play, although he is pretty good. Blessed and featured on Sprinkled with Stardust under Behaviour

    I'm dealing with my 3rd round of toddlers - (siblings, my own children, and now my grandkids). It's really fascinating and frustrating when they're trying to communicate and learn to control themselves before age 3 - can't wait to see how my latest grandbaby works it with her mom and dad.

    Nicely done. Your writing is easy to read and engaging. I think people are more likely to buy a book when one demonstrates integrity in their writing and provides something of value right there on the page. Again a great first lens.

    You are absolutely right! Nice lens! You can use these communication methods when you are in the pool with your kid! Check out how you can teach them to swim:

    Hi, Andy

    Enjoyed your lens.

    Unfortunately, my knowledge of children extends only to the fact that I used to be one. I will have to take your information for granted.

    Good luck on Squidoo,

    Oh my, I'm afraid I'm one of those parents who has forgotten what it was like to deal with toddlers. (I'm dealing with teens now.)

    Nice job on your first lens & welcome to Squidoo. I hope you've dropped into SquidU at www.squidu.com and introduced yourself! It is also a great place to ask for help when you need it.
