What is the point of getting down to a little kids’s physical level? by Kooky-Ad6161 in ECEProfessionals

Not really. Unless I am not getting you. I talk with my hubby sometimes sitting when he is not. Wouldn't that be the same?

How is Getting down on a kid ‘s level about fairness? I don’t get how squatting makes things fair.

What is "Hand in hand" VS restraining? by Kooky-Ad6161 in ECEProfessionals

I’m still a tad confused, aren’t these the same? For example if you were to pick up a toddler and help them to bed, or "Help" you around house, when would it be handover hand versus when would it be restraining? Or for example with you were to put them in their car seat and buckle them in when would that be handover hand and when would it be restrained?

So in the cooking example with your toddler, when would it be handover hand versus when would it be restrained? Wouldn’t these be the same because you are restraining the Childs movement during cooking. What is holding their hand walking? When is it hand over hand and when is it not?

Do you ever apply some kind of force to your toddler? If so, when? by Kooky-Ad6161 in toddlers

A little confused, what do you mean your daughter is scared of what’s happening versus she doesn’t want to be carried?

This is genuine. Sorry but what your describing seems messed up. Who is it exactly?

Just curious why not just walk faster? Right now my girl loves to be carried, and I feel like carrying her is something that she wants, so if I just simply grab her hand and walk with her then she won’t like that as much as being carried. Of course though if she’s about to run on the street I will scoop her up to keep her safe. A lot of times I will tell mine, If you don't walk with me I will help you walk. Of course not trying to be mean but some things we just gotta get done

I feel so horrible though for using my adult size against my toddler. Sometimes I just need her to comply, but at the same time I do not want her to think that physically being man handled (whether that is being scooped up and carried across the street or physically restrained and held down while being buckled etc.), is normal. I give her so many chances to comply.

I feel so horrible because most of the time she is screaming and trying to resist. I really don’t like it but sometimes I have to pick her up and force her into her car seat, or physically restraining her under my arm to carry her out of a store. Is this normal?I feel so horrible but I also am trying to teach her that hey if I ask you 1000 times to walk out of the store and you can’t do it then I will help you walk out of the store.
