Ajani is sitting at the table he is looking at pictures on the computer. He is there for about 10 minutes. He is now calling his mom . "Mommy Mommy". I am sitting a few feet from him and his mom is in the kitchen. He is still calling and I heard a thump on the table along with the sound of his voice calling "Mommy Mommy". I looked over and observe him banging his hand on the table with an angry look on his face . Ajani ! he paused his hand in mid air "why are you banging on the table? " I asked him . I calling mommy ". His mother turned around still in the kitchen but facing him. "Ajani I can hear you there is no need for you to bang on the table".
"Where did he lean that behavior ?", I asked in amazement .
We explained that banging on the table is not an acceptable behavior. "Ajani that is not the way you get your mother to come over". She hears you but you need to give her a few minutes. I am hoping that he will not exhibit that behavior again however,if he does we will guide him towards the behavior that is socially acceptable. You must be in tune with your toddler and guide them towards positive behaviors . I do not know if he leaned this behavior some where or it was an impulsive behavior . If he does we will need to explain to him each time :Patience ,patience . . . . .
The infant/toddler years are most critical because the brain is developing at a rapid pace and experiences is the key ingredient during this period. However,you must be in tune with your child in order to guide them towards the behaviors that you want. You are getting them ready for life and research shows that the first three years are key to planting the roots of socialization.Remember that you are building a brain and the once the brain is exposed to an experience it does not forget it.
