How to Handle Your Toddler

In this professionally produced 13-minute video from WNET and Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, renowned experts Penelope Leach and Kyle Pruett talk with parents about how to handle toddlers: deal with their behavior, learn the right ways to talk and discipline them, and recognize when they are merely imitating what they learn from adults. You'll also learn ways to encourage and enhance a toddler's development. Topics covered include: How advanced is a toddler's language? Toddler doesn't always have to mean tantrums, biting, scratching and hair pulling? Should you yell at your toddler? How much is a toddler's behavior based on imitating those around them? How toddlers view and perceive their world. Setting boundaries with toddlers. Saying "no" to toddlers.
