I admit that I have been suffering from writer's block this past week. But, today, I thought of a new content web that I am excited about. I want to explore the topics of empathy, impulse control and aggression in the toddler and preschool years.
It seems like the most difficult years with my older boys were the years between two and four. Most of our difficulites came down to these three issues: lack of empathy, lack of impulse control and an excess of aggression. So, with that experience under my belt (twice), I am delving into these topics to hopefully understand them more before my third child enters this phase.
Maybe I can find some new insights that will make for smoother sailing the third time around. The third time's the charm, right?
To start with, I'm excited about what I have discovered regarding empathy and when it typically develops in children. Read Preschool Children and Empathy to find out more. Next, I hope to write about impulse control issues in toddlers and preschoolers. Look for an article next week on this issue.
Since this is a short blog and I find myself with some extra space, I want to invite you all to contact me at Suite101 with your thoughts on the Parenting Methods topic. I'd love to hear what articles you are interested in, which topics you would like to see covered more extensively and any thoughts on parenting methods you have. As always, you are welcome to leave comments on any article that you choose as well.
Thank you for your continued support in Parenting Methods!
