What to Expect the Second Year, Heidi Murkoff.
Distraction may help, but ultimately your best bet is to stay cool and stand firm.įinally, it’s not too soon to lay the groundwork for good manners by always setting a good example yourself and explaining why we say please and thank you - it’s as much about kindness as it is about courtesy! Your 18-month-old child’s growth Same goes for high chairs and car seats as well. Speaking of misery, plenty of parents must cope with some serious stroller struggles these days, since some toddlers hate to be confined. Just don’t feed his misery by getting upset yourself. Empathize with him - “I know it’s hard to say good-bye” - and be sure to pack a favorite furry friend in his bag. Or, the rebellion could occur at night (in which case, consider making his bedtime a little later) and result in a tendency to wake up too early in the morning.ĭon’t be surprised if, despite his burgeoning independence, your child still has separation anxiety, like the dreaded drop-off at day care. You may also encounter some toddler sleep problems in the form of a reluctance to nap, so it might be time to ditch that morning snooze. Right now, it might be hard to talk on the phone or with a visitor - your toddler wants to be the center of attention, and he’s letting you know it loudly and clearly. Hallmarks of 18-month-old babies include impatience with, well, just about everything.
