Aren't they just so cute? Well most of the time they are! Toddlers are in a stage of rapid growth and exploration. They are absorbing their world, while at the same time stretching, sometimes painfully, our nerves. Toddlers can be a handful for any parent, no matter how patient you may be. It's a mighty big and overwhelming world for such a small person. Don't lose your cool, just try to see it from your toddler's point of view to gain an understanding of what he is going through.

Throwing temper tantrums. This is when your child has extreme outbursts of foot stomping, body squirming, running rampant and more. You will be hard-pressed to find a toddler that doesn't throw temper tantrums every now and then. They are at a stage where they are beginning to understand what you are saying, but they don't have the ability to express themselves verbally by piecing thoughts and words together. Since they desperately want to convey their thoughts but are limited, it comes out as a tantrum.
Biting. This is a quick fix to get a reaction out of whomever they are biting. It could happen when another child steals a toy or can happen to you if they don't get their way. It gives them a sense of power to draw this reaction and boy, can it hurt! Monitor the biting habit and try to nip it in the bud. This is a good scenario in which to sternly use the word "no!"
Mine! Toddlers are very egocentric and do not consider sharing. If she sees a child with a toy that she wants, she may grab it, not realizing the consequences. All you can do is teach them what is appropriate behavior, and over time they will learn to take turns. You may opt to tell them that "It isn't nice to take toys away from someone" or "You need to wait for your turn to play with the toy." Then gently remove the toy from your child's hand and let them watch you give it back to the other child to finish playing with it.
