Stubborn One
As I have talked about before, my son is very opinionated and now tries to explain himself in baby talk. When I try to cut his nails he kicks and screams then just repeats his same noises as if he’s telling me why it’s a bad time to cut his nails or explaining his general thoughts on the situation. When he stops babbling I start to talk and tell him it’s okay and that everyone needs their nails cut. Sure he cannot understand what I am saying but talking to him calmly and telling him what’s going on seems to work. Well, at least half the time it works. The other half he is completely dedicated to the fact that he does not want them cut and that’s that. End of story. He chooses what he wants to eat, before he would eat everything you put out there, veggies and all. Now he’s very particular about what veggies he eats and it has to be on his watch. He still loves his green beans, sweet potatoes and peas but now he seems hesitant on carrots, corn, and broccoli. I hope it is a phase for him but we still praise him and eat veggies along with him so that he knows we enjoy it…which is actually not the case haha! As he gets older he just voices his thoughts more and more, and I know he gets frustrated because we can’t understand him or can’t figure out what the ONE item in a huge toy box he’s pointing to saying “This? this? this?” But one day I’ll get it, kid! I promise. How have you learned to communicate better with your toddler?
