Toddler Ideas: parenting, behaviour, potty training, parties, tantrums and treasure hunts. Welcome to your survival kit for life with kids aged 1 -3!

This age group can be incredibly challenging, but at the same time an enormous amount of fun.

It won't be long before the domestic warcry "I'm boooooored" replaces the emotional ups and downs of toddlerhood.

The main thing to remember about young children is that their world revolves around their own needs.

There is no point in wishing this was otherwise - self centredness is a natural part of the way these youngsters behave.

The main way this comes out is through attention seeking.

Attention seeking is in the DNA of every 1 - 3 year old. So how do you deal with it?

Turn it to your advantage. There are lots of ways you can persuade your little cherub to behave without resorting to coercion - shouting or spanking have no place in effective and loving parenting.
