They tend to fire back "No!" if I ask for one, because at the moment they're upset, it's all about them and their very big feelings. If I offer them a way out, by offering a hug -- they usually will stop and come and give me a hug. Then I can say, "I understand you are upset, but we don't bite people. Next time you can try saying, 'I don't like it when you take my toy' and walking away." I try to provide them with the words to use, because they act out physically when they don't know what else to do. How can we just say "Stop that" and not teach them what TO do? That's so confusing to small children.Kate @ Modern Alternative Mamahttp://www.modernalternativemama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540881439451499604.post-66275290154188542142012-05-29T11:33:18.473-07:002012-05-29T11:33:18.473-07:00Here I am crying tears of relief!!!!

And he doesn't give just a normal hug. He gives hugs with pat on the back. And that is coming from a 2 year old.Caitlin @ Backlink Buildinghttp://www.buybacklinksrightnow.com/noreply@blogger.com
