Specifically the 18 months- 2.5 years old.
I have the least amount of experience with this age group so I need a little help.
I have three DCKs that fall within this age group. One is really advanced so he acts about .5 yrs older than he really is. My other two I guess are typical 1.5 and 2 yr olds.
Here are the problems im having:
climbing on anyone who is sitting on the floor
hitting/pulling hair (just to do it, not out of anger or anything)
throwing toys
no progress in cleaning up after months of hand over hand
If they are doing something they arent supposed to be doing they ignore me until i start walking towards them, then they stop.
These are the main issues. I am always redirecting, telling them soft touches hitting hurts, lets roll the car instead of throwing it, modeling good behavior, etc.
So I guess my question is: what out of the list (if not all) are perfectly normal behaviors for this age/they can't comprehend that its wrong/cant use self control....and what are the things that are no acceptable for this age/they totally understand what they are doing is wrong?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as well.
