What to do when your 2-year-old baby is in the rebellious period

As the baby grows up, mothers will sigh that the baby is changing every day. When the baby reaches the age of 2, the first rebellious period begins. At this time, the baby will behave disobediently and will not do what he is told to do, but will do what he is not told to do. This is a very headache for mothers. In fact, at this time, mothers should treat it correctly and spend this special period with the baby.

What to do when your 2-year-old baby is in the rebellious period

1. Parents should have the right attitude

Parents should adjust their mindset and neither treat their children as their private property nor as substitutes for realizing their own dreams. Instead, we should give children a certain amount of living space and respect their choices and wishes.

2. Avoid escalating conflicts

When conflicts arise between children and parents, parents can avoid the intensification of conflicts and resolve them through soft or cold treatment. Give each other space to reflect and relieve stress.

3. Build a good partnership

Parents should fully respect and trust their children and establish a good partnership with them. Establish an equal and harmonious family atmosphere so that children are willing to communicate with their parents, rather than thinking that there is a natural generation gap between them and their parents and that it is difficult for them to understand them, which leads to alienation.

4. Create a democratic family environment

Parents should create a more democratic family environment for their children. They can discuss family plans, arrangements, activities, etc. with their children, let them participate in discussions and decision-making, and make them truly masters of their own destiny. In this way, children will be more motivated and have less resistance.

5. Protect your child’s desire to perform

Children have a strong desire to perform and are very happy to help their parents do things, as they feel it is an honor.

Therefore, parents should support and protect their children's enthusiasm, and not think that their children are making trouble or causing trouble. Even if the children do not do well, parents should analyze the reasons for their mistakes with them.

6. Encourage guidance and increase children’s self-confidence

When children are frustrated, unhappy, wronged, or treated coldly, parents should not stimulate their children with words or actions, but give them love and help.

7. Make clear rules that are appropriate for your child’s age

Determine reasonable, age-appropriate limits for your child and stick to them. At the same time, we should communicate well with our children, explain the reasons to them, and let them truly accept these rules and restrictions mentally.
