6. Praise, Praise, Praise!
In the spirit of positive reinforcement, its super important to reaffirm all the positive things your toddler is doing. Yes, they do have their moments! It’s easy to focus on the gloom and doom of the terrible twos, but your toddler is growing exponentially during this time and are doing some pretty amazing things! Try to focus as much as possible on those, and praise them often. Even if it took you to ask them 5 times to do something, praise them that they did it eventually. Maybe next time, it will only take 4 times!
