So what happens when your kid reaches the age of two? Many parents panic when they have to deal with this phase. And this will go on for another year or two. Your kid becomes more active and naughty during this period and you will find it hard to handle them during this period.
The early stages
When it comes to 2 year olds, you will have to deal with the fact that they are energetic and don’t stay in a single place for too long. When they become a little older, you can think about pre nursery; however, this is not possible at this age.
• You would assume that you have an easy task when your child turns 6 months old.
• At this point, children tend to sleep a lot and they stay idle at a place. Therefore, it is really easy to deal with them at this point.
• For many, parenting at this age can be a really easy thing. Things get complicated once you pass this stage.
Two year olds
However, things change once they become two year olds. Pre nursery is still far away and you will have to deal with the kids on your own. Toddlers might be bored with static toys. Also, they are able to walk at this stage and they are ready to explore the space. Thisis where things can go wrong. Since they are curious about everything they have the tendency to go over everything. This will prompt you to watch them 24×7 to avoid any accidents.
Inquisitive minds
Yes, 2 year olds have such curious minds. However, since they don’t have the experience to differentiate, safe or unsafe, right or wrong and good or bad, they will try to explore everything that they come across. This can lead to many problems. Until they experience or learn, everything is neutral to them and this is where the danger lies. So, they don’t attach a value to objects and this can lead to the destruction of valuable objects like mobile phone, electronic device etc. In short, potentially everything can be dangerous. For the same, you need to constantly watch them. This is where you find it harder to deal with the 2 year olds.
How to deal with it?
How to effectively deal with this problem? Well, if you are careful and determined, you can handle this with much ease. First and foremost, get rid of the dangerous things from the areas where they explore usually. Also, you should let them experience as many positive outcomes as well since this is going to be a great learning curve for them. With the right approach, you can reduce the frustration considerably. For this, you need to consider the following things. You need to baby-proof the house. You can keep all the fancy items from their reach.
