Sarah is a lovely little stubborn toddler. As a pre cursor to toddler hood, she already displays her needs through baby tantrums. From a very young age she started to assert her authority on the family with baby tantrums. Language has not been an issue for Sarah. Sarah is able to communicate well, even though she has a limited vocabulary. She is not slow to develop her language skills, but no, up, this and that seem to be the only words she needs to communicate.
Even though she is young she communicates well non verbally. she gives a huge grin when she gets her own way. When she does not get her way, she usually responds with crying, screaming and yelling. This behaviour is consistent with the transition to toddler and marks a new stage of grown and skill development.
Sarah has begun having tantrums a lot earlier than her sister who is now 6. Sarah is the queen of tantrums whilst her sister hardly had any.
I know many parents who love the toddler stage, but are also frustrated with the toddler problems associated with it. Head banging, screaming, yelling and crying all tantrum favorites! The toddler stage is frustrating for the parent but also a joyous turning point in development.
Funnily enough, I am not too worried about this stage because I have learnt the secret to dealing with toddlers temper tantrums. I have now learnt how to balance the need for peace in the house and her own self development and awareness.
