Understanding Your Toddler: A brain wired to notice and a body wired to move.

Toddlers:  Tender, Terrific, and Tenacious!  They dig in - NO! - throw tantrums, then ten minutes later melt your heart with the most honest hug or act of kindness.  They tumble and get back up again. They dump out the tidy contents of a drawer and then sit in it looking pleased. They cause us to lose sleep and to lose our patience. They are also masters of observation, scientists, spiritual gurus, and our future.  Understanding your toddler can help avoid some of the fuss and frustrations of living with them, especially during COVID.
