Parenting Tips for Your 35-36 Month Old Toddler
Your child is 3 years old, no longer a toddler. You may wonder what’s ahead and what you can do to help your child grow up healthy, happy and responsible. Your toddler is off to a good start already. During these first 3 years, you have helped your child learn new things and be successful. You have helped him learn about himself and his surroundings, and you have taught him to trust, respect, and enjoy others.
This foundation has prepared him to become the kind of person you want him to become. The good relationship you have will help you continue to support and guide him, as he faces future decisions about school, friends, drugs, sex, and other important issues.
Helping your child think for himself now will help him resist the negative pressures of other teens later on. Keeping the lines of communication open now will help him feel he can talk to you about difficult and confusing questions in the years to come. Encouraging your child’s enjoyment of language and learning will help him succeed in school.
Parenthood is a rich, exciting opportunity for you to grow with your child. Trust yourself. You can offer your child the support, values, and skills to handle whatever comes along in the future.
