Around the age of 3, babies will have their first rebellious period, and at this time, parents need to understand what to do during this period?

  1. Provide a second option. When the baby insists on their own ideas and does not want to follow the parents' arrangements, parents can achieve their goals by going back and forth. Provide a closed answer for the baby to choose from. For example, if a baby is unwilling to take a shower immediately, they can choose whether to continue playing with toys for five minutes or listen to a story. It must be a closed answer, don't ask him what you want to do? This can give the baby a sense of autonomy and make it easier for them to accept some.

  2. Shift attention. If a baby makes unreasonable demands beyond the conditions, it is best for parents to divert their attention. For example, if a baby is crying, parents can disrupt their rhythm by turning off the TV, leaving their sight, or arranging some toys to help them forget the reason for their crying. Baby's attention is easily diverted, so this method is very feasible.

  3. Agreed rules. At this stage, babies already have a little bit of primitive rule awareness. Parents should set aside the attitude of being aloof educators and establish some rules with their babies on an equal footing, and let them understand the benefits of following the rules for themselves. This way, they will respect the rules and not act recklessly.
