Does it seem as if your toddler is always “in a mood”? While often frustrating, it’s completely normal for your little one to be laughing one moment and crying the next. It’s part of his or her emotional development.
A child who works on understanding his feelings and empathizing with others now will have a strong emotional foundation for adulthood. You can help with this.
Try to stand nearby during a social interaction between your toddler and a peer or other family member. You can step in as a positive back-up if things get tense—talking about feelings (both your child’s and the other person’s), cuddling your child and offering distractions when needed.
All of this helps your child grow emotionally.
