parenting toddlers  

Definition

  • Many adults feel devastated by divorce, while some experience relief, but most young children between 1 and 3 years of age feel confused and frightened; their whole world is changing based on a decision in which they had no voice. Toddlers are easily disrupted by conflict and alterations in their environment, and this in turn tends to produce regressive and troublesome behaviors, which typically make parenting children at this age that much more difficult.
