We all know the toddler years can be full of fits, frustration, and total meltdowns. We even have terms coined terms for these years — The Terrible Twos and Threenanger.

But despair not, parents, not every day has to be a temper tantrum nightmare. I have 5 positive parenting tips to make your AND your toddler’s day a little bit easier

1. Prepare for what’s coming

Recently, we had to give our son some iron drops. The first time we did it, it was awful. It ended in a lot of tears. We had to force the drops down his throat, and I felt so bad.

The second time we did it, we snuck it into his milk, but he wasn’t born yesterday. He knew the milk tasted funky, and he refused to drink milk for a couple of days.

The third day, I realized what we did wrong. We didn’t prepare him for what was to come. So, I sat him down and showed him a video with kids taking medicine.

I let him hold the medicine bottle and dropper. I talked in simple to understand language about taking medicine.
