Hello, everyone
. I'm so happy I found this forum!!
My daughter will be almost two, and she's starting to have some behaviors that I want to help her with in an extremely respectful and gentle way, but I'm not sure I'm doing it right!
When she gets frustrated, she will throw whatever is in her hand, and yell "no!". I gently explain that we don't treat objects that way, and to please pick it up. She doesn't talk much yet, but she understands what I say. Usually when I explain this, she will still refuse to pick the object up, and might even throw it again. It's usually back and forth a bit, until I suggest we do it together. I accompany her to where she has thrown said objects, and she picks it up, and puts it away, after which I hug her and we resume playing.
Situations in which she might get frustrated: if she wants me to read to her, and I can't at the moment. Same thing with being fed, she might ask me to breastfeed her at a time where I can't.
Any suggestions? What has worked for you?
Thanks
.
