[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids. When they were younger, one was very headstrong but also prone to anxiety. The other one was generally cheerful and easy to redirect. Things were just much easier with the latter kiddo. Overall, I would say focus on enforcing one or a couple rules at a time. Things like climbing the table won't last forever! I have never in my life seen an 8-year-old do that, unless they have severe developmental delays. Some things will go away regardless of whether you fight over it. I remember my sister being horrified when my toddlers would eat with their hands. Now they are older and eat like normal human beings. Don't waste a lot of energy on getting ahead of what's developmentally appropriate. For things that I wish that I did curtail? Honestly, can't think of a single one. I wish I was less frustrated with the small details and enjoyed those early days more. [/quote]
