Second, tearing up costly education material. Like books, the books you buy your toddler, kindegardener, even high schooler for that matter, might not stay in tact, and might end up in pieces. Preschoolers and toddlers have imaginations, and create art very young. Scolding a young child for tearing up a book, is ridiculous, just keep it outa their mouth, and make sure they don't get paper cuts. They create puzzles and stories out of torn up books, it's a new feeling to them and a new feeling of accomplishment to be able to create and be amused. They learn. Eventually it gets old, and they learn staying on task is fun. Problem solved.
Third, mealtimes and not remaining seated. The goal is preventing a choking hazard, so don't let children run around with food and/or drink in their mouth, make sure it's all the way swallowed, it's just that easy. Don't create a rebellious atmosphere, because it could very well start here, and later be a serious delimma including depression. If your child dosen't want to sit at the table, realize food can be cleaned up off the floor, clothing, celing, faces,elbows, pets and upholstery, if not, a stain isn't a big deal, and as long as the idea is to achieve understanding and your child shows the he/she/it is able to understand and follow direction, then everything is fine. Why create a meal no one is able to consume with appreciation and delight because everyone is griping about manners and ignoring conversation. Manners can be taught, and used accordingly, and thats the goal. Anyone else realize manners and the partaking in a fully formal family dinner every night is possibly causing stress on your young child, and mabey even yourself? The serving and /or "blessing" can be semi-/formal, every night, if that's your choice, and then just let the consumption of food be casual, if you want. Schedual a family night where it is all fully formal including attire. It might work better that way.
Fourth, jumping on furniture dosen't have to be a nightmare. Let all retentive woes about finances spent on the particular item go, antique or not, remember it will possibly clean, and expalin to your child that you do not want them to have an accident. Not every child is coordinated enough to jump on a, bed, couch or chair and land without having something break or get twisted or they themselves fall over. A trampoline could cause more woe and do more damage. Check age specifications and talk to a doctor, before purchasing one of those things.
Then for the fifth, milestones, a savvy way to catagorize. Prepare to start sifting through the savants. Basically most people are looking to turn a buck and make a profit, or a name for themselves and try to have a limelight of recognition for their education, hard work and achievements, and do not let your child fall prey to some of these diagnosticians, teachers, school systems and doctors. Your child is unique, there is a time line for basic requirements like walking and being able to eat. Talking is a chiocey one because your child might not want to talk to the clinican or doctor, and neurologically, everyone is different, and growth speeds vary. Parents use your judgements, and if you think there is a problem, then get help. Public school will teach them a lot, and so will private. Remember, Pre-K and Kindegarden will teach them more than you'd think. Relax a little and do not push your kids to hard to try to talk and if you try to push too hard for them to speak in sentences you might just wind up with baby talk and/or curse words. Don't you get sick of someone trying to tell you to do things repetively? They could actually be ignoring you and refusing to do stuff. Yes toddlers and preschoolers and kindergardeners have the capacity to intentionally ignore. They have temperments and opinions too.
