How should I educate a rebellious two-year-old baby?

When the baby is two years old, he will experience the first rebellious period. During the rebellious period, the baby will show resistance to everything arranged by adults. At this time, parents must not force the child to do this, as this will only make the baby more rebellious. Parents should calm down and see why the child is rebelling, and let the baby release the bad emotions by himself, and then explain to the baby why he should do this.

1. Emotionally stressed children are more likely to rebel

When children are tired and hungry, it is time to let them rest or eat some of their favorite snacks to help relieve tension, rather than teaching them to learn new things or do things.

Changes in the surrounding environment will also make children nervous and increase their rebellious psychology. For example, when children are sick, they are usually in a low mood and tend to go against their parents. At this time, parents should understand their children and be more tolerant of them when they are sick.

2. Protect your child’s safety

Children do not have a strong sense of danger, so they may do things that may have dangerous consequences. Once discovered, parents should stop them immediately, and then you should communicate well with your child and let him understand the consequences of his behavior. For example, a child may be running happily on the street but may be hit by a car. You should tell him: "Mom can't let you run on the street because there are a lot of cars here. If you get hit by a car, you will get hurt and it will hurt a lot."

3. Let children learn to cooperate with others

Give examples to teach your child that asking and commanding have completely different effects, such as "Give me the book, please?" and "Give me the book!". Also, tell your children what to do rather than what not to do. For example, if you want your child to be more careful, you can say, "Pick up that cup gently," instead of saying, "Don't break the cup!"

4. Parents’ requests should be reasonable

It is easier for a child to exchange toys with other children than to give his toys to other children for free. Let your child express his or her requests verbally, but do not indulge his or her bad habits. If you encounter a child making a fuss and asking for cake in a supermarket, don't let him succeed because of the eyes of people around him. You can take him out and tell him in calm words: "Because you behaved so poorly, Mom can't buy you cake. If you want to eat cake, you should tell Mom." Gradually, the child will learn to express his thoughts in words.

5. Be a good role model for your children

Parents' behavior will directly affect their children's thoughts and behaviors. Therefore, parents should control their own behavior and not let resistance control themselves, especially in front of their children.

In addition, if your child does show resistance for no reason, don't lose control of your emotions because you feel annoyed. Doing so is a good choice for both the child and yourself.
