Whats a parent to do with a naughty toddler?

What to do when your toddler does something that is cute, but not something that you really want to happen all the time?  This is a question that almost all parents have to deal with. It is tough because after you laugh at how cute they are, you can't really get mad at them.  I think that after she stops the camera, this Mom has the little girl help pick all the toilet paper while talking with her about the problems it makes and why she shouldn't do it again.  Then maybe fixes the bathroom door with a child safety latch just to be sure it doesn't happen again.

Give her a little time

Some kids take a while to figure out how to deal with a new situation.  This little girl seems a bit on the cautious side.  Her Mom cheers her on, but lets her take her time and find her own way. After a little while she will probably be running around.

Down the slide

A lot of kids want to climb up the slide.  This can be fine when your child is the only child at the playground.  This Mom is doing great coaching for learning to slide down the "right way" so that it is safe when lots of kids are around.

I didn't do it!

It is tough for any of us to admit  that we did something wrong.  Wanting to blame somebody else starts young.  This family doesn't get mad, but doesn't let her get away with it.

I am not sleepy, I am not crabby

As many of us learned during the holiday, family road trips can be tough for little kids. Often it seems that if we plan on them napping in the car,  they don't.  This Mom very patiently explains the situation to her daughter, but her overtired daughter is in no mood to understand what her mom is saying. Mom and the family then try humor, but that doesn't really go well for the little girl either.  Maybe with a little music or just quiet time, she will relax and go back to sleep?
