Parenting Tips for Your 21-22 Month Old Toddler
Sometimes when life gets tough, we forget to look at the good things about ourselves. But we need to give ourselves credit, even if no one else does.
- Praise yourself often, not just for moving mountains, but for climbing molehills too. Say, “Good for me! I got through the day without yelling at anybody!”
- Talk to yourself when you know a tough situation is coming. Say, “I know I can get through this job interview. After all, I did call and make the appointment, and I’ve written a good application letter.”
- Look at the good side. Say, “I didn’t finish cleaning the whole house, but I got the downstairs done, and that’s the hardest part.”
Remember no one is a perfect parent, daughter, husband, or wife. Give yourself credit for all the good parts about you, and work on improving the others.
