Parenting Tips for Your 33-34 Month Old Toddler
As your child grows, she will encounter more and more situations that cause stress. It is not too early to help her learn to recognize and manage stress. Show your child how to relax by sitting quietly and paying attention to her breathing.
Most children like to use their imaginations. Encourage your toddler to think about something calm and pleasant when she is tense like soft rain, a sleeping kitten, a warm blanket. Help her picture a place she especially likes such as a park or a beach, and tell her to think about that place. Suggest she can go to that place in her mind when she is upset.
By teaching your child to relax, you’ll be giving her a skill that will help her all her life. Try some of these ideas yourself—they work for everybody.
