Everyone talks about follow through and how you should always do it. But what is it supposed to look like?!
Honestly, it depends on the situation and the type of child you have. You know your child best, but there are some things you can do to help them listen better.
I've got some extra tips on how to use these prompts in my latest YouTube video is you'd like more ideas and information. You can find it in my bio 👆

Just in case you're looking for an easy way to spice up breakfast this week...🍽️

* Teaching them to request "open" for their favorite things is a good place to start!

Look for the good behaviors to comment on. Don't wait for them to do something wrong 💙
* Research shows that you can reduce your toddler's challenging behaviors just by putting more emphasis on the good ones! This one's tested and proven 🌼

* Why it works: you will teach your child that they will not get out of it because you will follow through every time. This will automatically increase their compliance over time.
It helps to remember that increasing your child's compliance is a marathon, not a sprint. 🏃

Fun indoors activity: make a simple spiderweb out of painters or masking tape and have your toddlers throw crumpled paper or craft puffs at it 😊 Credit to

Love this fun idea!

Your turn! What works for your toddler? 💬

⭐️ I recommend not looking back because your child may be having a meltdown for your attention.

You've already given them tons of attention on the way there and during your drop-off, so try to remember that it's okay for them to feel sad. They are resilient and will redirect in no time.

If you look back , it is a form of attention and will teach your child that a meltdown will work to get you to look at them. This will, in turn, make the meltdowns keep happening.

I know it's so hard! I recommend staying strong and consistent if your biggest priority is to help your child learn to transition so that they can have fun with friends! 💙

Make your parenting more peaceful by changing up the way you phrase things for transitions. ✨

*Why it works: You're adding elements to the activity to add interest and redirecting their attention to something they like that they can do while they do something that isn't always fun for them.
