Parenting Tips for Your 29-30 Month Old Toddler
Sometimes angry feelings and stress are caused by the way people talk to each other. You can reduce your stress by changing the way you say things. It doesn’t mean you should hold things inside, but simply that you should say them in a different way.
Things we say to others often have the word “you” in them. For example, you might say, “You’re always telling me how to care for my child!” If you give the same message with “I” in it, the other person might not get so irritated.
You could say, “l feel like a child myself when someone tells me what to do.” Try turning “you” messages into “I” messages. This may make your conversations less stressful.
