Hey LCW, welcome to Heligirl. I’m so psyched you visited. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I’m always learning when others share what they do too. Sounds like you’re on the right track. Kudos for keeping it together when she is going ballistic. I KNOW how hard that is.

This is great advice. I’ve already started to instill this type of parenting and conversation with my 7 month old. She’ll start shrieking when she wants to be held or change activities and I try really hard to speak softly so she’ll have to stop shrieking to hear me and changer her activity when she stops shrieking. I’m hoping to reinforce the silence rather than the shrieking. As a former teacher I hope I’m semi prepared for what’s to come. I look forward to reading more of your articles and book recommendations.

Yeah, Erika, it’s insane. But now everyone is telling me the twos are fine compared to the threes. I’m not sure it ever ends. Ahhhh!
