Wondering why you can’t seem to reason with your toddler? If your child persists in behavior you don’t like or actions you’ve said “no” to, reasoning isn’t likely to help.
A toddler will hear your explanation, but not understand what you mean.
Remember, your child thinks primarily of himself at this age and often lacks the self-control to stop doing something you’ve said “no” to. It isn’t deliberate; it’s developmental.
If unwanted behavior continues, distract your child with something else or remove her from the situation.
