"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines what we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create" - Albert Einstein.
This is just another reason to sit down with your toddler and draw, doodle, bake a cake or play with blocks! I am amazed at how much Ava learns and parrots things during our playtime together. I am currently reading "The Happiest Toddler on the Block"... it kinda fell into my lap on accident but boy am I glad that it did! My toddler is not really unruly, BUT I don't pretend to know everything and it certainly can't hurt to gain a new perspective on all things parenting. The book talks about a toddlers brain in comparison to a grown adult and it goes on to show why/how you can't communicate in the same way. It offers suggestions and solid ideas on how to control tantrums and end them before then erupt into disasters. I found this video on youtube and people sure do have a lot to say. In the book, the issues listed in the comments are actually addressed. I am going to give FFR and Toddler-ese a shot! WHY NOT!?
