11 Toddler Behavior Problems & How To Deal

toddler behavior

Toddlers often tantrum, strike, bite, scream, and behave badly. You can discourage and teach healthier behavior.

Aggression, Hitting, & Biting

Your beautiful two- or three-year-old may be biting and kicking everyone. He or she may be trying to catch your attention. Avoid responding to them every time since this might become a habit. Like other comparable habits, this one will eventually go.

How to Handle It

Make sure your youngster understands that these aggressive behaviors might have repercussions. Instead of yelling, put them in the “naughty” chair until they calm down.

Interrupting

Your youngster will want to tell things before they forget them since their short-term memory is still developing. Though the child doesn’t understand, this may interrupt.

How to Handle It

Schedule time with friends where your child may play with other kids or toys while you speak. Show your youngster this behavior with your spouse. In such a case, minimize interruptions and redirect the child’s focus.

Lying

Until three or four, your kid may be unable to tell reality from fiction. He or she doesn’t know what the truth or lying is. They may create fictional animals and people at this age and deny scribbling on the wall or spilling milk.

How to Handle It

Accusing your kid won’t help. Instead, create a setting or discussion to make them confess. If you overload your youngster with rules, he or she may lie. Create a trusting atmosphere and tell them you trust them too.

Pulling Hair

Like kicking and biting, hair-pulling expresses sentiments and controls the surroundings. Hair pulling gets kids a response from parents and siblings. If he or she pulls their own hair, it may be an impulsive control condition. If they pull others’ hair, they enjoy the response.

How to Handle It

Show them that pulling hair won’t work. Stop the behavior when you observe it and explain it doesn’t work for them or others. Tell them this doesn’t change the other person’s behavior.

Running Away

Your child darts away when you pull them from the car seat, place them on the sidewalk, and turn around to wrangle the stroller out of the trunk. When you catch up to them, it’s obvious that they’d rather walk independently than take the stroller along today. They aren’t intentionally nasty or defiantly running away from you. It’s only that now they’re free and able to run on their own two feet. That’s the desire that drives the current predicament.

How to Handle It

Keep your kid safe since no amount of instruction will make them cautious. That involves being hypervigilant about making your child’s surroundings safe. These tips can help you keep an eye on your curious child:
