Do you need some help keeping up with your high-energy toddler?
You expect your toddler’s behavior to be active and busy. It’s part of the territory. They’re busy learning and experimenting with their environment and they’ve got lots of energy to do it with…
But what about when your toddler’s behavior is more than you expect?
If this is the case, author, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, suggests that you may have a Spirited Toddler on your hands.
“All toddlers are busy: They’re climbing and jumping and throwing things, but the high-energy kid is the one who can get to the top of the refrigerator. All toddlers say ‘no,’ too, but a spirited child’s ‘no’s!’ are louder and more frequent, his tantrums longer lasting and more intense. You gradually realize that as a parent you’re working harder than your neighbor, whose child is simply not as intense, persistent, and emphatic as yours. Your child is still normal, he’s just more of everything.” – Raising Your Spirited Child and Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles: Winning for a Lifetime.
