Your toddler is now three years and four months and getting him to cooperate is a challenge . is favorite word is NO and Mine.So how do you get your toddler to cooperate ? You need to have patience and sharpen your negotiation skills. You have to negotiate with your toddler ,remain calm and do not raise your voice.
An example:
Sometimes when you want to dress your toddler she will start playing she may hid under the table or under the bed . She wants you to chase her but you need to get to work and wants to leave. She is giggling and running from you . You can try this - John all your friends are waiting to see you and you need to get dress ,do you want to see your friends today ? She may say yes that will be great then you can follow up be reminding her about the great time she will have while you get her dress.
Toddlers love to test you but you should remain calm remember that you are the mirror that you toddler is views the world through and will imitate how you respond to experiences.
Getting your toddler to cooperate is a process because your toddler is impulsive .
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.

Listening skills - Communication
Listening skills are very important in order for your children to learn when they get to pre-school. But you cannot wait until she gets to pre-school to learn that skill.For your new baby you should be playing soothing music for the baby , reading stories and speaking with the baby. The brain is developing and the different areas that is responsible for different functions is being developed. This also teaches your baby how to focus. Yesterday I had a conversation with a young lady from Maryland who works in a pre-school and she told me that many of her special needs children have needs because:they cannot hold a pencil,cannot sit still, are not able to play etc. Some of these challenges can be avoided if parents get the knowledge about what they should be doing at home.

-Emotional expression -social emotional development
This is a very important skill for your baby to learn : Now that your baby is 3.4 years she should be able to talk about her own emotions : She should be able to use pretend play and talk about emotions. For example : the baby is sad ,you can ask why is the baby sad ?the toddler may say he want his mommy".She should also be able to associate facial expressions with the words . She should be able to make a sad face or a happy face. Recently my grandson told us a story about a baby rabbit and he made the face to go along with cute. We burst out laughing . This is a developmental mile stone that he has mastered.
Your toddler will not just learn these by magic you need to introduce these concepts to your toddler . You can do this by reading stories,interacting by speaking with the child etc.
These blog post are developmental mile stones that young children are evaluated for .

Observation- self-confidence
Monday
February 16,2015
The museum of Natural History
Time-around 3:30pm
Gender -boy
Age- 3.4 months
Are leaders born ? or are they created during the infant/toddler years?
We are walking in the area of the museum where the mineral rocks are . There are three older boys playing on the rail . Ajani stop and looks at the. I am holding his hand . Nana let my hand go can I talk to them? Why I asked . I wanna talk. I let his hand go . He walked over to the boys . The young one stop to listen. "Don't play on that you will fall and hurt your self that is not the park". The boy looking in Ajani's eyes said I will fall from the top and giggled .It is not funny Ajani said to the boy . There were three adults sitting " you hear what the baby said it is not a park stop doing that ". We all began to laugh. The boys paused jumping on the tail.
Clearly this toddler has self-confidence and is learning rules. He is also learning adaptive social behavior. He is clearly able to take make up his own mind by choosing not to join the boys. These are just a few of my thoughts. What are your thoughts?
You may not see this behavior as being important but it is As this child develops those skills are need.
Are you allow your toddler to develop her leadership skills? It is needed before peer pressure steps in.

Brain development -Waiting on line
At three years and four months this toddler has now learned how to wait on line for his turn :
At a play space or at the museum.A few months ago he was not able to because he did not understand the concept however,being expose to different experiences he now understands. Infants/toddlers need repeated experiences in order to develop skills . Waiting on line in your arms,waiting on line in a stroller ,waiting on line when you just begin to walk --- it is experience the behavior and the next thing is putting the action and the word together that is when understanding comes. You have to give your infant/toddler time to connect the wires in her brain - language development (Brocas area of the brain).
Experience is the key when it comes on to brain development.

Language Development -during the 0-3 years
Language development begins the first time that you and your baby look each other in the eyes and you say and you hold her . When she coos and you responds this is refer to as "the dance". The brocas are of the brain is responsible for language development . Although your baby is not speaking she is storing up all the vocabulary that she hears and when it is time to speak she will have them to use.
When your baby needs a diaper change you should speak with her during the process. When you give her a bath talk about her body parts as you wash them.You are giving her receptive language,the ability to name everyday items or items that young children should be able to identify. Books are very important also and children's music :
These are some books to start with :

baby einstein First Words

Language Development
Your toddler is now 3 yrs and 4 months and he has mastered his blends ,for example : St , Ch, Ph now he should be working on some endings learning to keep his tongue behind his teeth when he say those words . When you hear it just repeat the word for your toddler do this just one time per day. Toddlers get frustrated when you correct their speech several times for the day. Saying it for them allows them to hear the sound and make the connection in their brain and as time goes on they will connect the sound and produce it.
You need to be in tune with your infant/toddler this way you can help him along the developmental stages. Language development plays a big role with social and emotional development.
Many of these post are bases on real time .It is meant to help you get your baby ready for school and life.

Writing skills- Brain development
Writing circles you can see that this toddler has developed control of his finger and wrist muscles . Infants write straight lines and big circles first n after having several experiences with writing tools he is now writing smaller circles. Infants/toddlers do this naturally but you must provide the tools for her. These items must be available this will allow her to write when she wants to. The most inspiring words from your toddler - I did it . When you hear these words you know that you toddler's self-esteem is in tact.These are readiness skills for school and life.
