TIPS FOR THRIVING KIDS:

 

Lights, Camera...Action!

Words alone may not be enough to get your toddler to stop an unacceptable activity.  Use your body language to help her understand your message.  Use a low, authoritative (not angry or screaming) voice.  At the same time, use a "stop" or "no-no" gesture along with your words.  Keep in mind your toddler may not respond the first or even the second time.  It takes thousands of repetitions, hearing the words together with the actions, before the words alone will work their magic.
