Toddler Parent Life
Toddler parenting can be some of the most trying times for most parents. More often than not, we tend to label toddlerhood and teenage life as the two most challenging seasons in parenthood. But for me, despite the challenges that come with this season, I can't help but adore and marvel at the toddlerhood stage. They're showing off their little personalities, so small yet wishes to be so big. So smart yet also so irrational. So helpful yet so impatient. So independent yet so clingy. So many things to love despite them being so 'unlovable' when it comes to their big feelings. But all of their feelings, characteristics, and temperaments should all be welcomed. And tiny as they are, they all deserve the same amount of respect that any human being deserves. And with that, here are some of my toddler parenting tips and learnings I'd like to share with you from one learning parent to another. These tips are a mixture of respectful parenting, positive discipline, and the Montessori way of life for you and your little one. Hope you get to enjoy learning as much as I did from these blog posts!
