What fun it is that your baby becomes a communicative toddler, entertaining and has a personality, right?

From the age of a year and a half or so, your baby begins to discover the world and every experience is something new and exciting for him.

He begins to explore and experiment, to touch, to climb, to attract, to speak and even to succeed in doing things just as well.

As time goes on he begins to feel his power and discovers his separate independence and desires, which are not always the same as yours.



The difficulty starts when he wants to do everything on his own, decide on his own, choose on his own and he struggles with just about everything.

He examines your reactions and those of the environment, knows how to resist and says a lot of "do not want".

Dana Hovesh

, a certified parent counselor at the Adler Institute and the Ministry of Education, asks that you remember despite the challenges that this is the way the child develops independence and responsibility and strengthens his value and self-confidence.



It is important to note that already at a young age, your reactions will greatly affect the development of the child's self-image, so the way of education you use is important.

So how in such a situation and despite the little one's uncompromising demand for the right to cooperate on his part?



Changing your perception So



first, understand that this is a developmental period that strengthens and empowers the child.

He seeks to be independent, to feel his abilities, to explore and to experience.

He does not seek to do so or to be against you, he is simply trying to discover the world in his own way.



Be flexible where possible



Allow the child to experiment with new things as much as possible while maintaining safety.

If he does not try and practice, how will he know?



Let him feel his power



Let the child decide, under your limits, and empower it.

They said, for example: "You decide which soap to soap in the bath today."



Offer him choices



Another way to strengthen his power is to allow the child a choice and emphasize his being the sole choice between the two options.

For example: "Do you want to get to the garden with the bimbo or with the bike? You choose!".



Say what is allowed, not just what is forbidden when



you tell the child what is not allowed to do, always be sure to state what is possible and allowed.

For example: "It is forbidden to climb on the high table, but you can climb on the stool."



Lead creatively where you want



When you want to direct your child to a place of completion, use creativity to lead him or her there.

For example, when you want the child to gather for sleep they said: "The doll is very tired, let's put her to sleep together. Do you want to cover her or read her a story?".



Share it with the daily tasks



Share the child with the routine tasks at home (according to his age) and give him the feeling that he is significant and part of the home.

Let him help prepare dinner, prepare the bag for the garden,



In conclusion, remember that your parenting goal in the parenting vision is to raise an independent, responsible, and high-value child.

Even if sometimes his journey to discover the world conflicts with your desires, know how to keep him within the boundaries that suit you but at the same time empower him with the tools given to you here.

The Jama app was established with the aim of addressing mothers of babies from birth to age three, and centralizing for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.

All the content in the app "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to its developmental stages, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.



The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
