To make everyday a little easier, there are some things that you should be doing with your toddler. These are simple things that you can do every single day with your 2 year old.
Give your toddler a chance to call the shots as much as possible. From food to clothing to activities, giving your toddler the opportunity to choose between two things will make her much more content.
Daily interaction is one of the most important things to do with a 2-year-old. Talk to her like she’s a big kid, not like she’s a baby! You can even start to ask her questions that require a little bit of thought.
Make reading a part of your daily routine! It’s my favorite part of the day because it allows me to forget about all of my responsibilities and just snuggle up with my daughters.
If you see that your toddler is playing independently in another room, stay hidden. I can guarantee as soon as she sees you, that magical moment will be over.
Your toddler probably doesn’t need to be encouraged to run, jump and climb. But sometimes when other things like screen time are tempting your child, getting active might actually need to be encouraged.
