Toddlers have big feelings and act in BIG ways. Sometimes they get frustrated and yell at our dogs, which can be difficult for many dogs to handle, and difficult for us to process as parents. By using a combination of modeling appropriate behavior, redirecting and playing developmentally appropriate games with our kids, we can often change their behavior.
A good parenting goal is to say “yes” more than you say “no.”
