Navigating your child through their early years is a tricky and delicate process. During early development a child’s behaviour is heavily influenced by their surroundings and your actions as parents.
The relationship you form with your child during these early years is essential to their development. Parents should be aware of the changes your child is going through to better understand and recognise that their behaviour may sometimes be a little irregular. This understanding will help you respond appropriately to their behaviour. As your child moves through toddler years they will begin to ask more questions. This is due to their ever-changing perspective on the world. Often, young children will do something to see how their parents react. It is crucial for parents to recognise this so you can foster good behaviour.
Attuned parents are able to forge stronger bonds as your child will know that they can rely on you for help or guidance. By helping your child self-regulate their emotions you will be teaching them essential life skills such as empathy and making rational decisions.
