Terrible twos are toddlers who are considered at the stage when they are difficult to handle. Parents will have a hard time dealing with toddlers who are just reached two years old simply because their language skills are not yet fully developed. They may want something but they do not know how to ask for it by name. If parents will not be able to understand them, toddlers will eventually be restless and will exhibit tantrums. Another scenario is when the toddler doesn't want to do what their parents asked them to do like taking a bath or eating dinner. This can lead to toddler temper tantrums.

The key on how to discipline a toddler, especially the terrible twos, is to use the appropriate language patterns to prevent toddler temper tantrums.

One technique parents can use is the so-called "presupposition". When talking to your toddlers, make a statement with built-in assumptions. An example is when you want your toddler to eat lunch. You know that asking your toddler right away can lead to tantrums. You also know that at this stage he or she loves playing with toys almost all the time. What you can do is ask your toddler a question that may go something like this: "After eating your lunch, would you like to play your favourite toy in the living room". You are unconsciously telling your toddler that he or she will indeed eat lunch and play afterwards. The decision whether your toddler will eat lunch or not will not be evaluated in his or her mind at all.

Using the right languages techniques by parents can indeed help them on how to deal with terrible twos. Parents can discipline well their toddler and reduce parenting stress.
