Not only are they sweet and carefree but they are also catalysts of growth. You going to observe this as a signature of every toddler.

Curiosity.

Why is this like this? What is this? And as a result they learn a lot by asking. As we tend to grow up our curiosity somehow ends up being barren because we get so caught up in it. What will they think of me?

Be curious and you’ll grow in a lot of things.

They easily forget things

Toddlers don’t hold grudges if Lucy pushed Susan yesterday, they’ll still play together. If Benjamin got Terry’s toy without his permission you’ll still find them together. No matter how much you shout or scold them they’ll still laugh with you.

Yes, you easily forget something they cry too but they still smile the next day, they get upset but they scream with joy later.

Toddlers don’t care, if they want to cry they cry. Want to get something they just go ahead do their stuff . And sometimes they get rebuked, punished or criticized. But they’ll never stop crying.

Why are you afraid of venting? Learn from them.

They talk about things earlier.

If Jane’s head is hurting she’ll tell Mommy. Even if it’s just a minor one she understands if waiting still gets worse she gets worse too.

As we grow we avoid some things, and before we realize it our healthy is worse relationships toxic. Learn to talk about it, imagine how uncomfortable it is for Jason to tell mom I gotta pee in front of his friends he does it anyway. I bet you’d wet your pants(I know you wouldn’t).

They don’t give up easily

Baby Peter is learning to walk he‘ll fall hurt himself but still get up wow! Look at him his now 3 and walks likr he was born walking. They cry till they get what they want . And once You fail you stop , go attend Baby masterclass on resilience but be ready of lots of giggling.

That’s it! you have an inner child make use of it by imitating toddlers.
