Maximize Love, Manage Stress

Toddler

(Ages 1-3)

Involve them.
Invite your toddler to help with everyday tasks, like handing you clothes for the laundry.

Infant

(Ages 0-1)

Put words to feelings.
Pay attention to your child's sounds, movements, and facial expressions. Put words to their feelings, preferences, and needs. "You were scared when the dog barked." Or, "You like that carrot. You took two big bites."
