[quote=Anonymous]I liked the tips in ‘how to talk so little kids will listen’ My go to’s (for 2.5 yo) are: Make it a game: ie: i’ll Race you to the table..should we hop to the table..which car do you want to bring to the table? Offer a choice: you want to walk to the table or do you want me to carry you? Do you want to wash hands in bathroom sink or kitchen sink? But I also just let him tantrum and blow off steam. Seems like she needs some cool down/alone time sometimes and, maybe that’s ok. When she’s calm you could also try saying ‘it’s ok for you to go run to your room when you’re mad but it’s not ok to slam your door, as you could hurt the door or yourself. What are some other ways you can blow off steam?”[/quote]
